If you build one for him ill take the second that rig is sweet and it will work great for me moving to colorado next month! From what I get low cog is the way to go out there...

 

Awesome job on the thread-convinced me to go low cog rather than a big lift

I was wondering if you had a thread and or any pics of this? Just for reference-soo i know how high to cut? "In the rear I have actually never done any trimming. I simply remove the stock fender flare, and cut 4 slits in each side. 2 at each corner of the wheel opening, and fold the sheet metal in.

Thanks

 

Should have some pics of it in my build thread. Link is in my signature.

 

Thanks!

 

I Like it!

 

Did you make those rear shock mounts or buy them?

 

I made them. Still have them kicking around actually.

 

Where do those mount at the top?

 

never actually took a photo, but i made some mounts off the plated frame out some modified 2x6" tubing. you can also use some shock hoops.

 

This whole thread has really helped me make up my mind. Still unsure about a couple of things but I suppose in due time, I'll have made a decision. Great thread, tons of good info.

 

why hasnt this been stickied????

 

question- maybe i missed something - i understand long arms, longer shocks, longer break lines, cut fenders, sway bar disconects etc. - but if i run a 3" coil with all proper items that wont limit down travel - wont my coils pop out or limit down travel? how do you get lots of down travel or droop with such a short coil?

 

lol I will be testing this soon... hopefully. but with 31's I could get the wheel below the rocker (brake lines and shocks stopped me) and the coil still had a few inches. so now I have better arms longer brake lines just need to measure shocks once she's rolling again and I'll see how far u can push it...

 

thanks- but i was really asking OP.

it just seems like a 3" coil could not stretch enough -

 

Your coils have a retainer on the bottom to keep them attached to the axle. Even tho they might seperate from the body, they won't fall out. If you flex far enough to pop a coil out, you won't be going fast enough to hurt anything.
