Nice hopefully they work out for you! I haven't been able to get to my truck project so no more miles on mine thus far.

If I were you I would check all the kits you ordered for all the right parts. It's surprising how many items get forgotten when stuff is packed by hand in off road shops... it's always dumb little things like missing a misalignment spacers or 2 LH treaded rod ends instead of 1 RH and one LH...

I deleted my post thinking maybe it's too off topic, but wouldn't this be the right section for a 82 build?

Awesome! I think they will work good for your build.

Oh yeah one axle will be from "A" and one will be form wear house "D". Lol You gotta get those discount codes!

Correct

That sounds like a solid prep. Also sounds like you drive smart. As with any offroad adventures guys get pumped and send it some times, its fun! Off roading is tough on equipment. That's super bad ass that you guys have a chase truck!

I tend to agree with old raptor guy, it seems like the video has 3 types of damage described. And at the end of the day these trucks are being pushed hard AF. Weak points will be found. For those that where there, what kind of prep is done to these trucks and how hard do you drive the vehicles?

Yeah your right, so he is basically saying its specific springs but those trucks aren't even equipped with said springs.

That's interesting I have not heard of this issue.

If you're not hard core set on oem steel, you can get fiberglass oem width bed sides.

Ah nice! Good info. I think I may look into those. Do you have any pics you could share of yours? I really need 1.5" uniballs.

I can't afford this:

Okay, to be fair, by max uptravel I really mean for max up travel for stock frame. I have a few limiters that I plan to adhere to, 1. I do not want to do glass fenders. I want stock width. F/R 2. I want to use the spring over set up because I tow a trailer to the desert. At this point I have...

Yeah that may be a good check. I am starting to wonder... Is there any difference between 1g and 2g upper or lower control arms? As far as geometry goes?

I'll be checking ✔ My shocks are 17.25" shaft travel also, I am building this with max uptravel as the goal I'm not as concerned about droop but hope to be able to use the entire shock. The shock is going to be mounted in a more vertical position when compared the original design of this...

Looking at your pictures, the coils will probably contact the upper control arm. It looks like the OD is a bit larger than the springs I'm using. You'll just need to check. Also I will be changing my upper to a 1.5" outter, the 1"uniball will not cycle through all the droop. I have a few mods on...

Get these axles if you are doing the bucket. They are seriously cheep. 130.00 bucks each no raptor tax. So if you are doing a prep they will be affordable to change. The stock CVs have a max useable angle of about 29 degrees they can go more but not if rotating. In full I didn't measure the...

I like to give other raptor drives a wave, but I make my had into a claw shape and kind of jab it at them. Also I yell "Raptor Claw" when I do it.

Quick update. I have my rev2 lower shock mount back from Lazer. These are moving the lower shock mount much further down and also forward. This is going to reduce the motion ratio and speed up the shocks, at the cost of overall travel. But the increase is shock speed will help with tuning the...

I found Apollo Optics through this web site, they had the Morimoto XB Tail lights in stock and for sale for only 400.00. They gave me free shipping and I received them in 4 days after my order was placed. Excellent Experience. A+ WOULD RECOMMEND!

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. I wish I put more time on them before giving them a review, they have about 1000miles. And only 70 offroad. So far. Like I...

You can use a pick and pop out the rubber stopper, it's has a small caseing that can be unscrewed from the oem shock with an Allen key. Replace with a valve that is threadmatched to shock like the ones sold on RPG/SVC/ex

Right, I am not saying the noise is normal, I am saying one cause of such a noise could be the above reasons. Also if the pressure is low the end cap can get sucked off the snap ring under vacuum as the piston moves with the shock shaft and snap back causing noises like described. Edit to add...

So this may not be what you are experiencing, but occasionally when either: 1. There is not enough oil in the shock, the front of floating piston will slam into the resivor on extension Or 2. If there is not enough air in the resivor the back of the piston will fully compress and slam on the...
