Chris' 1794 Build

Picked up some SPC UCAs a week ago for installing 37s. Been running the 295/70/18 ridge grapplers for almost 70k miles. Switched to the Toyo RTs due to the cost of the ridge grapplers being almost $100 more per tire. Took a little work but they fit. I do need to reroute some of the rock light cables and heat up the plastic at the fire wall area, as the tire just catches plastic. Also need to cut the BMC more aggressively, just catching it at full turn. Added a shim to the driver side for the driver lean too.

 

Looking beefy with the new shoes!

 

awesome build! Gives me some ideas for my 1794

 

You’re truck is looking good, Chris!

I’m hoping, as everything seems to be opening up a bit, that you and the Fambly will make your way back here for a visit soon. Keep me posted on that AND know I’m looking forward to my yearly update on Crocket! I hope y’all are well!

 

Installed some firestone air bags and Daystar cradles. My leaf springs are starting to flatten out, likely from towing, so I put the bags in to help with that. eventually in a year or so I will replace the leaf springs with some heavier rated ones. I need to go weigh the truck to see exactly how much I weigh with the 46 gal tank, 37's, sliders, full size spare, bed cover, front bumper, and all the additions inside the cab.


I put the air bag fill ports as the license plate bolts for easy access and I did not want to drill a hole somewhere or climb under the truck to access. I may one day add the wireless airlift compressor setup so i can pay with the pressures

 

How much did the truck weigh?

 

I have not weighed it yet. I would guess I have added 6-700lbs of weight to the truck of stock weight.
