I originally installed the airbags because I was always bouncing off the bump stops. That was using metaltechs original dual rate HD coil. Adding a little pressure to the bags pushing out against the coil help keep me off the bumpstops. Then I installed metaltech 4x4 dual rate HD Gen 2 coil and...

I only run air in the bags for extra weight. And mostly for the highway driving. Then I don’t sag and lights don’t point up in the air. You can see they have sucked in from the cold temps. When running the bags on the dual rate coil they have to be placed below the tight wraps. I’ve wheeled...

Update to this thread. Metaltech 4x4 would not do anything about the powder coat having come off in such short time. But now 1 coil looks like this!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Waiting to see what they will do. Coatings aren’t covered. Steel integrity is. But this is not normal even if the coating isn’t covered. I had a closer look at passenger one. It’s the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone had this issue literally days after install? Only 1 coil did it. The other if I recall correctly is totally fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He just finished building mine and it sounds like he won't be doing a production run of these for 4th gens unfortunately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't go with the spacers on the coilovers. You'll be more likely to bind a cv axle as opposed to cranking the coilovers up. Crank the coilovers up some to gain more front lift. I'm probably at 3.5" front lift with my icon coilovers. I have a diff drop and never had an issue with it. The rear...

They should fit no issues. Talk to rci. They should be made with a jig and should fit perfect unless the holes vary on the frames between years. Possibly trucks with xreas have different hole patterns.

Or shift them ahead or back 1" and drill new holes or weld them on.

Talk to rci. With so many issues this sounds like a problem. Almost like he built them for a guy with a body lift

I live 2 hours from the border. They are shipped here for free. I pay $50 each diff to ship back. The re/re isn't too difficult to do myself. So I'm regeared for $1350 US with a 5yr warranty but I do install. Beats the $2900cdn w labour I was quoted to regear.

I'll do the labour myself.

Cost to pull and rebuild my third with new ring and pinion and bearings and install is quoted at $1100 at the main/only off-road shop in town. Complete 3rd from the wreckers is $700. I'm running 34's and have been considering regearing so I ordered complete front diff with 4.56 gears and...

Thanks guys.
