Hmmm that's good info. Thank you!

Hey question, anyone have issues with the upper shackle bolts contacting the spring mount in the rear, I think bent them both recently.

I am thinking I'll keep my current shock and bump mount, so basically my travel will be the same, but my current springs go negitive alot, I tried to reduce the negitive arch by getting longer shackle but the shackle geometry is way off. I don't want to relocate the rear spring mount so I like...

The more I think about it the closer I get to wanting to go sprung under...

This is a great build everything is on point.

This little amazon OBDII scanner fits perfectly in the armrest mp3 holder for a rainy day. That is all.

I ended up with Blitzkriegoffroad.com uppers. I tried to get the fabricated ones but there was not enough orders for them to do a run of them after several weeks so they gave me a deal on the billet ones. I now have spring clearance issues at droop lol.

OEM style upper control arms are very affordable, I would say it's a better overall value to replace the entire arm rather than tool up and try to replace the wearable components in it.

I considered building a front shock that was a king/fox 8" body with a 14" shaft with just a simple aluminum spacer for the required clearance of the drive shaft and tie rod. Just to avoid paying the raptor tax on the oem style coil overs, ended up with a g2 shock instead. But the standard...

SDHQ has some good information listed with their parts: But it's probably best to not try to build an aluminum tube, the price wouldn't be worth it.

Wellllll, IMO... if you are keeping leafs in the rear do you really need a long travel? You are crushing baja the most important thing is reliability. I feel that you should go max on the rear leafs with a solid prerunner shop like izzyfab or similar. Thennn in the front get a dual shock...

This video explains the FOX IBP system well:

What's the best way to set the piston hight in the 2g shocks with the resivor shims?

How much f/r travel is this bad boy pulling?

Your Raptor will be attacking that fence. Checking for weak spots.

They have arrived, full "anti friction" serviced. We pulled one leaf for testing, but have it on hand. Mm

40s look sick! Stock hubs up front?

Thanks, yeah the guy is doing a legit job, he beveled all the edges and sandblasted the leafs before coating, he ended up machining me new greasable bushings and coated the shackles and sleeves. The sleeves he also re made with a larger wall thickness because he found the deavers bushing sleeves...

I am in the process of the rear leafs being fully prepped and Teflon coated... they just got done with the coating ... I'm pretty stoked hopefully I'll have them tomorrow to report back. Seems like just last month I installed these for the last time, pulled pre prep:

Nice!

I didn't really do it all today, but front secondary shock is in!

Get after it!!

Modified the CAS pearch and the axles are hanging in there now with 14" of stock width travel. Also I did do the IWE delete so we will see how the axles last now.

Ah gotcha, hopefully your guy nails it
