did you have to chop the body mounts to get the 295s to turn to lock w/o rubbing?

Definitely like that back bumper.

Very clean build. I have konig envy. Is that the newer allpro bumper?

Yeah i had to trim the mounts up a bit. I wanted to fully stuff at lock while offroad. So far so good

Definitely like that back bumper.

Thanks! Iv'e come down pretty hard on a few rock in the rear and its held up great. Stock bumper would have folded like tin foil

Very clean build. I have konig envy. Is that the newer allpro bumper?

Yep! Its pretty awesome as far as approach angles goes with the new "kink" in the front. Very happy with it!

I read that you added a spacer on top of your OME coils what is it about 1"?

doesnt that cause your CV boots to rub at anything more than static droop or have you gone to a different CV? or did you correct it by dropping the Diff. if so do you have concerns about losing what under axel clearance you have gained by going up in tire size?

furthermore have you swapped out the gears to a size more condusive to the 33.4 tire size. along these same lines have you changed you UCAs?

if no do these tires rub your UCAs with the 4.5 bs wheels?

With the 16x8's, no wheel spacers? They just fit with no issues?

I am planning 16x8's but with 285/75's...

Love so far what you have done, keep it up!

Love the look of your truck!

So what happened on that dirt road and the SN95?

Its about 3/4. The Coils themselves gave me 2.5 lift with the added custom top plate it now is more toward 3.25. I did this as a result of the rubbing. Although i have chopped the mount, at full stuff i was rubbing against my fender flares and sometimes the clips on my fenders would snap out. They never broke but I was tired of dealing with it.

I would say my CV definitely is at more of an angle and my down travel is limited now because i am still running my stock UCAs. I took a picture of my angle/boot for you last night so you can see where its at first hand.

Don't pay much attention to the spot on my LCA, it was raining that day and is just water that hadn't dried yet. No grease from the CV

Currently with this setup i have yet to tear a boot on the trail *knocks on wood* I am basically hoping that this setup will last me a few more months before I make the jump over to Long Travel and get all new front end parts.

I haven't swapped out my gears and actually don't plan to. I can get a solid 300 miles to the tank every time and there really wasn't a large/noticeable decrease in power. It actually feels just about the same as with my 285's on my old truck.

I am happy to say that i do not rub on the UCA at all

Hey thanks! I run no wheel spacers and they have no issues at all

Love the look of your truck!

So what happened on that dirt road and the SN95?

We were coming home from Lake Piilsbury/Hull Mountain Trail and there is a 10 mile dirt road - One way in, one way out... The mustang was flying around a blind corner. Not only was he going far to fast, he was also cutting the corner to make the windy road straighter (we can all be accused of this). I was able to spot him early enough to come to a complete stop on my side of the road (you noticed its unmarked) while his brakes locked up and he slid into me around 40 mph. To say the least it was his unlucky day... I wasn't all that happy myself!
