4Route-
That is why we gotta get you some nasty 285's/33's! Then your runner is going to look awesome. Thanks for connecting with me last night, that was a very positive conversation for the both of us I assume.

I am working on your wheels as we speak, and cannot wait to see what you have put together regarding the website!

ahriman-
Hey, thanks for offering your assistance. It appears that both 4Route and Lee have it covered, but I am sure we would love your insight anytime you are willing.

Dennis-
I shot you a PM, hit me back there and we can get a game plan together.

And finally, all of you who want NE stickers, just give me a color and they will go out, I have about 60 of them at my house here.

Also, they measure either 22" wide @ 1.5" tall, and 26" wide @ 1.75" tall. Let me know which size/sizes you desire. I promise you'll love em!

Thanks again everyone, anyone interested in the Pan Hard Drop Brackets or NE top spacers should notify me asap as 6 sets and 6 brackets are ready for shipping.

Have a good one all...

Billy

 

good lord. this has been one hell of a day. the u.h.o.m. is looking at those pickle forks and thinking bad things. life is soooo depressing, it makes it hard to wake up some days.

anyway. bear with me, as i am working on this site, i am having to use my brother's computer (because on my mac, i don't have all the graphics programs), but since he got his new truck, he's been typing away to all his buddies.

i will get far on it tonight, and i am so sorry that it has taken longer than expected.

i will try to catch up with you this evening, so you know that i'm not dropping the ball on this one.

 

4Route-
Hey, dont even sweat it. We are in no hurry, and your help has been incredible. I am gonna have to swing by your place and remove those pickle forks from the premises...lol.

Again, no rush...I am just extremely excited to see your talent.

Billy

 

Got my NE Spacer installed... It was a harder than I thought because of the extended length shock.

Damn, there were not a lot of thread left for the top 3 nuts. I think it should hold out fine. I kind of regret not looking into buying the longer bolts that come with the daystar.

My height is now:

Before
Front Driver: 36-3/8"
Front Pass: 36-3/8"

After
Front Driver: 37-1/4"
Front Pass: 37-1/2"

I think the difference was because we jacked the driver side back up after breaking a lug nut off.

That's right. The lug nut broke off. Very easily. We did not over torque at all. Anyways, the dealer is fixing this under warranty.

When I get back later today. I will measure everything back up.

I still don't have new tires and wheels yet. Just got tired of looking for wheels I actually like. The ones I've seen don't look as nice as my stock. (and I don't like my stock that much either ).

I'm hoping to run 285-75R16 Firestone MTs. I may go brave and throw on some 305-70R16 ATs with the extra lift now.

 

depending on the wheels you get, this may not be a good idea. i got the 285s and i am still trimming 3 weeks later. however, as you know, i got the wheelers steelies which only have 3.75" of backspacing. if you are able to tuck the tires up under the fenders you _might_ be able to squueze 305s in there, but i am getting a lot of rubbing on the body pinch weld just w/285s. which wheels are you looking at?

 

I'd say stick to the 285's!

also, I'd look into wheels w/ more backspacing so you won't rub as much.

don't forget when you offroad and air down alot... rubbing is expected

 

wait ... you didn't install any longer bolts?????

 

Are you serious? I just looked at your pictures. It looked identical to mine. I do have the Revtek bolts but nothing longer.

 

Yeah,

I'm leaning and bending towards the AR Burst. They have 5" backspacing, which should clear the 285s.

Anyways, I just have to decide on wheels. I'm pretty final on the 285 Firestone MTs

 

you are going to love the destinations -- awesome in the mud.

 

yes, i was serious ... when you said you didn't order the longer daystar bolts, i was afraid you meant you installed the top spacer with the stock bolts. i didn't know what your plan was as far as lifting, and i know some people are just buying the top-out spacer for the entirety of their lift ... so when you mentioned daystar longer bolts, i thought maybe you were saying you were no longer using the revtek lift, and that you had just put on the top-out spacer instead, and without any longer bolts.

i was just confused. don't be mad, i was just confused. sorry.

and i haven't seen any pics, so, i didn't know.

 

Alright I just got the truck back. I made some more measurements:

Front Driver: 36-3/4"
Front Pass: 37-1/4"

I am not sure why it's lop sided. Anybody knows?

BTW, dealer did fix the broken lug under warranty. Save me $50...

 

Oh good... I'm not mad. I got scared...

 

maybe you need to lose weight? j/k

 

it's lopsided because of the gas tank on that side, and some other stuff ... i forget what, but i see posts by 4th gen owners asking that same question. there is usually around a 1/2" difference.

 

It wasn't lopsided before NE spacers...

 

haha, are you sure?? mine was! is there any chance that when you measured before it had less gas in the tank than when you measured lately?

 

timber, etc-

hey, glad to hear you got the spacers in. leveling these rigs has been an ongoing problem. my drivers side in the front is a good 1/4" lower. in the rear i added an extra 3/4" of lift to the drivers side and am still 1/4" lower there as well. just the way it is...we are working on some leveling discs. also, once you get those new wheels and tires on, be sure to post the pics!

we still have a few pan hard drop brackets available as well...lemme know.

Billy

 

Billy ... you better stop working! It's a holiday weekend!! Don't make me come over there!!

 

Has anyone ordered/received any NE Spacers yet?
