Two weeks down and another productive weekend in the books, I was able to pull it out and get a good look at it from a distance and wow, I am super stoked!
The Pro Comp 40’s must be a lot bigger than the Toyo’s that Tim is running or the back space on my wheels is different because the tire hits the radius before it gets to full lock, not a lot but it still hits.
I got a tracking number for my front coil overs too last week, so the shocks should be here Tuesday.
I also ordered some 2.5” lift blocks for the rear and stuffed those in this weekend so I can drive it. I was planning to tear into the rear right away but camping season is here and honestly, I am pretty burnt out. I have been going pretty hard in the shop for the last 6 months, I put a 6.0L in a 80 series Land Cruiser, did the front link suspension on my buddies Toyota and now Falkor, I think it’s time to take a break for a few months and go enjoy this bad boy! As usual all the little things like break lines, ABS sensors, and bleeding everything took longer than I thought but looks like everything held and I think it time to party!
I pulled some overall measurements to compare where the truck sits compared to my Yukon that was on 37’s and right now the truck sits about ½” lower than the Yukon!
The PSC ram sticks out pretty far in front and I am concerned that I may hit it on something. Since that part of the tie rod is the permanent part I was thinking about taking some 3/16” plate and rolling around on the bottom and welding it to the tie rod so it would protect the ram a little, it seems it would also strengthen the tie rod itself. I'll probably be adding this in the near future.
