Howdy, nice truck. I am looking specifically for a 3” front with rear and shackles. Do you have a 3/2 or 3/1?

I am specifically looking at this exact setup as one of my top 3 options on my 2019 Sport..
I plan to run 35’s and most likely have to CMC. Do you recommend the lift and UCA choice? Any issues or regrets? How does it ride vs stock? Appreciate any info.

 

Way nice.

 

How are everyone's cv axle angles on these lifts? Anyone tearing boots?

 

Did you paint the springs and arms or did you order them like that?? I like the way they look. I am about done with mine for awhile.

 

It's basically a 3/1.5 with the Toytec rear shackles. The JBA Offroad UCAs are a good value if you can't afford the more expensive recommendations. I really like the greasable joints and that the ball joint can be replaced without swapping the entire UCA. The ride is pretty nice, but still firm with the TRD sway bars. I ride at 40 PSI in the tires which helps absorb some of the potholes, etc. Hope this helps!

 

They came pre-painted. Thanks!

 

I ordered the diff drop kits when I bought the Toytec Boss kit, but still need to install the front one, possibly this weekend. The carrier bearing drop was really easy to install so that's why it's already done lol. On the front CV joints, the angle is off, but not drastic IMO. I'm imagine it will affect the boots long term though if I left it alone.

 

Looks badass!

 

Looks awesome that’s my goal. I’m just thinking of doing a 2/1 lift with same size tires

 

You can lower the Toytec's to 2" in the front, but if you haven't checked out the Bilstein kit, that might be a better option price wise for 2/2.5 inches in the front. With the 295/70R18's, I technically didn't need the CMC, but that probably has to do with the wheel choice. If anything, I rub on the plastic wheel well in front of the tire on occasion, even after adding a bumper spacer lol.

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks 6100 and 5160 Bilstein is what I’m looking at doing. I just want to keep stock UCA and put Nfab bumpers on front and rear. I don’t think I’ll need CMC

 

They were a little bit of a tight fit, but are pretty solid. Cheaper than Coach Builder, but I also think CB's are powder coated and these are not.

If you are referring to the bushings in the leaf spring/shackle mount, I did not. They had less than a thousand miles on them. The kit does come with upper bushings, but I misplaced those during the install and re-used the new OEM ones. I did recently find the aftermarket ones that came with the kit and will install them at some point.

 

Truck looks great. I am considering the same wheels. My only question is about the bolts around the perimeter of the wheel. Are they real? I understand they are 1 piece wheels but curious if they are actual bolts or if they are like glued in there or something.

 

Thanks! Yes, the bolts are real and I am pretty sure they screw in from what I recall researching them. The black finish version I believe has chrome bolts and I think I read where at least one owner swapped them out for stainless because they were rusting. I haven't seen any rust on the black bolts on the gunmetal finish I own. Also, for what its worth, the right rear wheel took a direct impact from a tree branch sticking out on a trail and amazing held up well to the scuff and impact. The damage can only be seen from close up. Super impressed with these wheels.

 

EDIT: I added a lot of photos and updated mods.

 

Awesome build dude. Do you have any pics of the blow up mattress inside for the kiddos? I assume it's just a twin?

 

I will have to see if I have a pic. For now at least, here is what I bought:

$40 Onirii Inflatable Car Air Mattress Back Seat Bed,Thickened Car Travel Camping Air Mattress with Air Pump,Blow Up Bed Portable Car Sleeping Mattress for Car Universal SUV

By the way, are you a boomer? I'm an old C-17 load.

 

Right on. Well thanks for the link! and ah dude awesome! That's my dream job, at KTCM or KCHS . Currently I'm a KC-10 FE, and I've been at KWRI for about 5 years now. Going to the FTU soon and then I have to decide whether to reenlist (at 11 right now) next year or not. Depends on if they'll let me retrain when Big Sexy goes away in the not too distant future. Where were you at?

 

I was at KCHS in the early to mid 2000's. I've been out for quite a few years, but still have a soft spot for the Cadillac of heavies lol.

 

Dang! Very nice

 

@HazMatt - Reviving an older thread, but I've been looking at the Victory bed rack and Access Vanish tonneau combo. How are things holding up? Are you satisfied with the tonneau?
