Message: [QUOTE="Cutting-Edge Diesel, post: 977621, member: 5039"] so really want to get to work on this rig but very limited on time. so reduced to planning it out and sharing my plans on here with yall to keep me happy about not being able to work on it. so I was working on a burnt up truck this week stripping parts and noticed how low the thing set with no springs or bump stops. [ATTACH=full]134311[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]134312[/ATTACH] My plan is to get at much up travel as possible because thats something the carli lift is lacking (for my needs/liking not over other set ups) . I was planning on just removing the bump stop drops when I go long travel but see how much lower it will go with out them Im going to remove the factory bump stops all together and go to a King bump stop. Im thinking im going to mount it on the frame and weld a pad on the 4 link for it to hit, not sure yet. This will get me alot more up travel. here is a shot of the current set up with the carli bump stop drops [ATTACH=full]134313[/ATTACH] This will cause a problem with fender liner clearance and fender clearance with the 37s. But with the engine cage im going to have to cut the liner anyway so im going to remove it and just have a custom shield to protect the motor from splash. Also going to have to cut the back corner of the fender I think. not a big deal. But all of this will mean the compounds wont work :( But also throwing around the idea of just putting both turbos in front of the motor where the radiator and fans would be. (remember they are being moved to the back) But unsure on this. that will come when I get everything in place and see where there is room. Also trying to decide on the rear. Im wondering if I could just go a complete bed cage and remove the bed and just run the bed sides or keep the bed and just do a bolt on cage in the bed. with that im planing the bed wouldnt be useful anyway. this is what the full cage would look like [ATTACH=full]134314[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
