Regrettably, I started this build over a year ago now and wish I documented it with the times, but I still have a few pictures and memories of the early days!
Right after all the basic maintenance I went straight into a lift and wheels - no more mom vibes!
For starters, I took home the following:
- 4x Black Rhino Chambers with 285/70/17 K02’s
- Icon Rear Coils
- Icon Rear Coil Conversion Kit
- Fox 2.0 Front Coilovers (Adjusted to 2.5” lift)
- Fox R/R 2.0 rear shocks
- MOOG Upper Spring isolators
- SPC UPA
Any regrets? A little bit. At first I was concerned a lot about body mounts and not having to chop them, now well into fabrication and cutting my vehicle to shit, I wish I went for a more offset wheel and a bigger tire to start. However, everything has performed really well.
Installing everything was fairly simple, minus the drivers side strut being seized to the truck haha. That took a few hours. I managed to get everything installed and headed for an alignment. A few days later I put some simple ditch lights on the rig as I was ready to hit the trails.
