an LT kit isn't going to fix the small bumps, it will probably make them worse.



I agree with everyone else. Fly someone out to do the install. Talk to H&M.


I m not going to throw my truck to the desert, is mostly about looks and harsh terrain. In my country desert is flat and the roads are rought.

I m trying to get someone here to make a clean job, but i have not gotten any answer to be clear yet

Kevin at h&m is waiting to get a raptor at his facility, so he can send me a upper shock mount bucket welded within uppers a arms mounts.

I still trying to get a fair offer on the lts kit at the garage sale, but i need at least $12k for the whole kit to start on another lts option.
There are guys fishing, willing to pay $4,000 for metals parts and that is not going to happen

Hope for your sake it somewhat works but I honestly think you're ******* up a perfectly good kit by re-engineering it. The good news is it's your money and only metal.

Exactly, if you're going to **** around building one new uca mount, you might as well just do two and install the kit properly.
The clearances on these things are tight, 1mm in places when the suspension cycles. There is no way shifting the uca back like that is going to work for clearances or proper geometry.
You are creating twelve more problems while trying to solve one.
If you're committed, just start cutting and grinding, do it right, or don't do it at all.

Yes, i know. I dont going to beat this kit down to the desert, as long it rides will be fine.
Will be using it like that for a while i get a good offer for the kit
I talked to kevin from h&m racing design and he will be sending me a upper shock mount bucket with UCA pivot mount welded in one piece

This is a upper shock mount from a build of outlaw offroad. It is very difficult to buy from those guys

I got a digital angle
A digital caliper
And a square ruler
A lever and used my iphone to lever the truck too.
If plan A doesnt work, will take plan B.
Plan B
Save the stock mount with a disc grinder, and remake the new mounts with all those digital meassures

It says LCA ride height level need to be at 16 degree
Upper shock mount bucket need to be at 90degree

Mounts going to try it on a table first and check alignment then, if is good will take second shot at the frame.
