    GEN 1 High Angle Cv Axles

    I completed an order for a fuel line (from the tank to the fuel rail), and their note stated that your cc wouldn't be charged until it shipped, which is common. But 10 days later they finally admitted they couldn't locate the part. In my case the truck is in pieces but if I was needing the part...

    GEN 1 High Angle Cv Axles

    I think when you add their ridiculous shipping fees & tax it's close to the eBay price, but (in my experience) RockAuto doesn't ship very quickly and they've had backordered items.

    3 grand for extended axles, plus more than that for the UCA's & LCA's; same for the new shocks, then there's new 'glass fitted & painted.... that's just too many cubic dollars for me to consider mid travel.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    This is how the hidden captured bolts go on the KHC coil buckets. Photos vs "instructions provided". You'll need to find the smallest child in your village to actually reach inside the frame pivot box and hold the bolt in place to start threading the nut.

    That's the delivered price from ebay for the D-side CV axle. Not horrible, really.

    "Hey guys didn't see much info on this but I cycled out some of the trakkmotive high angle CV axles and they work fine for my application on stock width 13.625" travel." The part number for L & R are: FD8273XTT & FD8274XTT, correct ?

    Only because 37's aren't 37" tall. Just like 35's aren't 35".

    Is it really a "mod" when it involves a mallet?

    How does a Gen 1 Raptor "call 911" for you?

    GEN 1 High Angle Cv Axles

    Blitzkrieg just confirmed that their "boxed steel/bushings"-style UCA's are identical for Gen 1 & 2 Raptors, they actually share the same part number.

    Rear up travel.

    I can't even afford the RC version of that right now.

    Rear up travel.

    "I am building this with max uptravel as the goal I'm not as concerned about droop" are you considering notching the frame or doing a "C" cut to increase uptravel? (Kibbetech has done that on their F150 builds, there's probably several sources for the parts needed to do that). It's a lot of...

    GEN 1 High Angle Cv Axles

    That's the geiser on a Gen 1 vs the oem on the Gen 2. It's definitely a bigger dia coil, but the easiest way to check clearance it is to lay the oem Gen 2 UCA over the blitzkrieg UCA and compare shapes. Blitzkrieg claims it clears.

    Gen 1 Value - Thinking of Buying

    A diy vinyl wrap could be completed for $300. At the Barstow ohv area races, I saw several class 1400 race truck teams that would just print multiple copies of their bedside, front clip, etc. graphics; then after each race they just overlayed another vinyl print of the truck color & sponsor...

    Gen 1 Value - Thinking of Buying

    Honestly, if you use a black truck as a "work truck" the paint coat is gonna be thrashed. Wrapping it is cheaper and easier than repainting it, just to get scratched again.

    GEN 1 High Angle Cv Axles

    "The offset also helps with spring clearance at droop" (That was my next question). I'm planning on using the oem Gen 2 coils & shocks, the KHC buckets, and blitzkrieg UCA's on my 2011. And you're right, those cv axles are at a reasonable price, especially since everything else is either 4X...

    GEN 1 High Angle Cv Axles

    What mods do you have? And did you happen to measure the maximum angles at full compression and rebound in the stock configuration? What are they compared to the oem cv axle limits? Those trackmotive cv axles sound like a worthwhile upgrade on my Gen 2 coil bucket mod.... if it gets close at...
