The springs I selected when ordering the stage 3 kit was the RPG Heavy Duty (HD) option with the RPG shackles +2" per the recommendation of Corey at RPG. ---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ---------- That is great to hear! I am looking forward to...

RPG Stage 3 Rear Suspension HD Deaver Leaf Springs, RPG Frame Support, Fox 2.5 Air Bumps and HD RPG Shackles I should first note that following the directions RPG provides on YouTube is a good way to attack this project. There are a few things I felt were missing in their videos however, so...

It looks like I may have come late to this thread as I read that the last set was spoken for. Is there a plan to make another order for the progressive springs?

Pricing... Can you please send me the pricing info for the 4.5s and the covers? Thanks!

Thanks jdruzik!

Wow! Thank you KaiserKaiserM715!

Wow, sorry everyone for not responding sooner, I am not getting an email when this thread is updated. I will try respond now... === YukonJoe, I didn't see BigJ's thread before purchasing the sliders, though now that I do, I wish I did! I would have welcomed any more information before I...

Thanks 2014RubyRed, RDFTS, and Labraptor!

Hefty Fabworks Rock Rails Installation Let me start this post by saying this project was very involved and took me much longer than I initially had thought it would. It also required me to dig deep in my tool box and get creative while mounting these rails. I have Hefty Fabworks Skids on my...

This is perfect, thank you so much 2014RubyRed!

I have seen "torque to yield" in the torque specs. I have tried looking up what this means but haven't been successful at understanding how to do this. Can I get confirmation on some of my assumptions and some advice on the issues? My situation: I will be installing the RPG stage 3 rear...

One of the cleanest HiLift mounting approaches I have seen. Nice work!

Blu808 was also great to work with! Glad the taillight worked out! Now we just need to find the evil people in our neighborhood who are poking holes in our taillights!

Thanks!!

Great write-up. Impressive work!

RDFTS, is that a custom rack? I really like that design.

Thanks SHAI HULUD!

Update to Install Update to my Install There were a few things that I felt that needed to be changed after living with the Lowrance on the dash for a few weeks. First off I couldn't lock on to any satellites for a while. I was scared that the internal antenna wasn't going to hack it. After...

That is really good to hear DezertRacer, thank you for that message.

Roger Wilco. I'll try to follow up on this thread later to report on how good or bad my reception is after I have had a chance to use it for a while. Thanks again for the info ATW!

Hi ATW, thanks for the comment. Wouldn't the center of the roof mounting be more applicable if I was using the roof as a ground plane? I thought when using a no ground plane antenna (like the one that comes with the Vertex kit I purchased), I didn't need to worry as much about mounting location...

I chose that spot mostly because the metal on the roof was strongest at that point. As you move forward on the cab (I have a super crew) the roof becomes more flexible. I was trying to avoid having the roof and antenna flex while driving at speed. With regards to reception and distance on two...

Good luck on your install! I will be posting some more pics in a day or so showing the mic mount and the wiring, not sure if that will help any but I sort of felt like I cut this short at the end (it got too dark and cold to continue taking photos).

Installing a 50 Watt VHF Vertex VX2200 After reading one of the prerequisites for joining Raptor Expeditions on their Barstow to Vegas run was to install a 50 watt 2-way radio, I started looking around for one to install. I am no ham radio expert and really have only had experience with the...

The antenna is built in on the HDS-7. I haven't yet taken it to the total boonies so I haven't given it the ultimate test yet. I am headed to Ocotillo Wells for TDS in March. That will be where I give it a good workout. I will let you know more then but my understanding is that the internal...
