I have the 76" version mounted using the Backbone system. Excellent product, and straight-forward install. Covers about 1/3 of the moonroof.

Stock suspension before, just under 30,000 miles on the truck. Would have to re-visit my notes, but I think that I gained about 2.75" up front, and 2.25" in the rear

Update Thought I would take a moment and post this up...I haven't updated anything here in a while. I finally got around to installing my Dobinsons Suspension on my 2016 TEP w/KDSS over Memorial Day weekend. I have since installed a new roof rack and C4 Fab Lo-Pro Bumper (no winch currently)...

I am running 48" Yakima round bars with Keel-Over attachments to secure the boat, using Yakima Rail Grabs on the factory rails. For peace of mind, I anchor the bow of the boat to the factory tie down point. For reference this is a Mad River Explorer (16.5' Royalex). It is a good sized canoe, and...

C4 Fabrication has one in the works. It is a No-Cut / full replacement with options for dual swing outs. It looks like it is going to be an awesome option.

No. Just No.

Yes. As long as the conductor is appropriately insulated, and you can ensure that you are creating a good connection, having a larger size wire feeding a smaller size is completely acceptable, in fact it will actually help prevent any [unlikely] issues with voltage drop.

The powdercoat looks amazing. Definitely a good deal at $150. I will seriously consider this. Thanks again for the hook-up.

All plastic. I too had my concerns regarding strength. The material was certainly stronger / thicker than I had anticipated.

Obviously different generations, but I have seen several 5th Gens mounted in this general location. I decided to mount mine in the bumper, and have been very happy with the result.

I took some 1/4" fuel line, split it length-wise, and slid it over the KDSS lines to prevent any issues related to possible rubbing.

Powder Coating This definitely looks like a quality product. I do like the textured black. That would be my personal choice. It will be a challenge for me to make timing work, so we will have to see. I still hope to be a part of this. Thanks for all of the work you are putting into this 5280...

I have to imagine that the 724 front coils would be essentially un-phased by the added 120lbs up front, staying true to their 1.75” lift. I just can’t help but wonder if they would be too stiff, making for a jarring ride in normal situations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't make up my mind! My situation: 2016 TEP w/KDSS. Daily Driver. Prefer to keep OEM UCA, and maintain reasonable CV angles. Current added weight Shrockworks Sliders @ ~65 lbs each. C4 Fab. Lo-Pro Bumper on order @ ~75 lbs. Will also add a winch @ ~60 lbs. I need to offset added weight, and...

Right now would be an ideal time to visit. Crowds are shrinking, temperatures are dropping, snow could fall at any moment. Elk are starting to rut, bears are still active. I'm unsure of exact timing, but roads will begin to close, and thus access will be limited. In November, the snow could be...
