Do you have a build thread? I actually just went through doing shock buckets and did tons of suspension cycleing and measurements.

Gotca, I was thinking more about the corrosion. Those will start to rust the first time they get wet is all, you may want to consider painting them or something.

Are you bolting in the coil bucket? Those 12pts are nice... but why select black oxide finish?

The axle will be 2 3/4" higher at bump, metal to metal when compared to the truck with stock shocks at full bump. The bump stop kit I removed was an older ready off road kit, very good quality the welds are beautiful compared to the rpg bypass rack I have. But, that kit had oem geometry and...

Yeah mine has been bent like this for a year. It would be nice if they sold the crossmember but Seems hard to find on on the oem supplier websites.

Got cross bar "fixed" Tried to smash it with a hammer, then used my press but ended up just cutting out the damaged section and putting in a patch. I need to finish up in the rear before I can move the truck in to welding range do do the bracket repair.

Is the mini pack mentioned an item SDHQ sell for 1g raptors?

Moving forward with this, got some parts cut out, one is a crossmember strength overlay in 3/16 mild, and also I had two 1/2" thick "deflectors" for the leading edge of the KHC repair pieces. Deflector: Cross member overlay + transfer skid: No press break :(

Understood, the normal just plain Jane Baseline for setting up a brand new stanard bump on a random truck with no turning at all; is the sprung weight at that corner divided by 6 equals the psi. As you know, there is wayyyy more to it than that but that's the king baseline in general.

Very true.

Oh yeah also I really want to put the spare back under the bed. Seems like it will clear the 37 so long as I end the exhaust prior to the axle...

Got a sketch? I'll get it cut for you

Oh. Damn hahaha I suck! Got my parts back from Lazer and drew my shock mount with a 2.25" axle instead of a 3.25" axle. I did actually measure twice just didn't check my fat stupid fingers! Anyway the frame gussets look like they will do nicely to build off the frame. Sent in a revised...

This is going to depend on your set up. I would not even think of it as a pressure number. Just reset the o-ring/rubber disc that comes on the bumps. Set a super high pressure that you can bleed off easily. Do a section that can cycle the stops on the terrain and at the speed you wish to run...

Haha I wouldn't say I have a clue! Honestly, despite the fact that unpacking a leaf is just about the only way to set up bump if you are doing something custom, it's such a PITA that very few people do it.

Raptor swap going down on my 82 f250 with all the take off parts. Don't worry I won't run a single leaf with a sanded down 2x4 spacer on this truck either...

Here are some more pictures

The inside of the section on my truck is actually fairly square still, most of the damage is the outer section. If I cut the center bridge out to install the KHC kit it will be really easy to square up... makes sense now. The crossmember is fixable. But usually they are cheap and easy to get...

Yeah after studying the KHC website pictures it looks like the cut away a large portion of the oem structure. I'm not sure I'll install the reinforcement brackets and do something else. That's on me for not fully understanding the installation process here.

Hi, So about a year ago I took a hard digger in the truck and smashed my transmission crossmember. I was wondering two things, 1. Has anyone used the KHC repair kit? They do not fit at all. On my truck, the frame mount extends out to the outboard of the frame, looks like the KHC mount stops...

Okay, so checking the clearance with the tires it looks like this will work okay. Just enough clearance at full bump. It will probably rub when it's flexed left or right but I'm just going to go with the cut as needed technique one the truck is being used. Ground clearance at full bump with...

Keep in mind that the resistance from springs are easily overpowered when the vehicle is in motion, while the hydraulic force of the shock is not. Take for example if you had a truck suspended in air, suspension at full droop, and dropped it, with only springs. It would blow through the...

Thanks doods!

Hi I started another thread but, mostly a lurker. Anyway I have 2012, with a few mods! Located in the so cal desert. I tow with it, and thrash about with it on occasion. But mostly use a RZR that I built. Waiting on parts now figured I would do an into! I am an mechanic by trade, and that's...
