People were just talking about this on another thread, using a jack and 2X4's in the wheel well- didn't sound like the safest way to do it....

 

You're getting all this stuff to enhance the off road capabilities (for example the rear bumper that you don't care what it looks like) and then getting revos? They're basically street tires. Why no muds or at least bfg ATs?

 

Because I mainly ride on the street, and I hate mud anyway, and for the terrain in TN, they'll work great!

So... the limiter straps are so you don't bounce the shocks out as you go over railroad tracks?

 

Yeah, I've always had a bit of trouble trying to justify the limiting straps. Seems like there are ALOT of people running 3 inches of lift, without limiting straps, and I've never heard of anyone having any trouble. I mean, its a great safety precaution, but I'd spend my money on other things first.

 

Yeah, I mostly agree, but when I had planned the ultimate suspension setup for my rig, I wasn't cutting any corners, and I already had them ordered.

Chris

 

I understand. They certainly can't hurt.

 

You're still right though, because now that money is real tight, I wish I hadn't ordered them already, and saved the money. Oh well!

Chris

 

NO, does nothing to the ride quality.

 

I'm pretty sure limiting straps came out mainly for baja trucks or vehicles that repeatedly fully extend their shocks, such as being airborn. It just prevents the shock from coming apart when fully extended, bascially.

I installed my 285/75R16's today, because I just couldn't wait, and I only had to drive home. They definitely rub, because I don't have any lift yet, but the lift will be here tomorrow. I can't wait to get it all on. I figured tomorrow, before I get a chance to put the lift on, I'll trim whatever I need to on the fenders to make it not rub, even at stock height. This way I'll know for sure that it won't rub when I have 3"+ lift.

I just have to say the tires look really good, and I went with the white lettering out. I'll have some pictures to post tomorrow.

Chris

 

Oops, I forgot to mention that my limiting straps also came in today, even though I don't really need them since I'm using the stock shocks for right now until I can get the OME's.

Here's some pics with the new tires and no lift.





Chris

P.S. The body lift supposed to be here today, and the cornfed spacers should be here this week.

 

nice red X's....

now show me some pics!

 

Are they showing up now, because they always have shown up on my computers. Let me know!

Chris

 

nope

 

No Pics!!!

None in your other post either for that matter....just red x's

 

How do you get the pictures to work, because I clicked the img button, and then entered in the location of the pics, and they show up on my computers no problem.

At any rate, here's the links for the three pictures:

man youre gonna be pissed, actually thats prolly the prob., the site is down.

 

My site is up and running fine. It's weird though, earlier on another work computer, it wouldn't come up. So are you saying even the links don't work for you either?
