7 wrap lc coils and lc shocks, front eibach coils with bilstein 5100's! Going on Tuesday. Can't resist the urge to mod, all of you with awesome runners are to blame! Thanks for motivating me to blow my hard earned money. Tactical armor front wincher and rear bumper with tire carrier on order to install in two weeks. Can't wait! Good decisions yes no?

Wow this is funny cause I have the EXACT same setup sitting in my house waiting to be installed! Can't wait
 
2 weeks huh. More like 2 years. That company has changed names more times then my truck has tires.


Good luck

Let us know the out come
 
So you've already ordered the bumpers? That company is shady and people have had issues with them in the past. Hopefully they have changed their ways and you get some quality workmanship.
 
The back bumper looks good. I would really check into what SCRunner12 has to say though.

You can have an ARB bumper shipped for $797. Ask me how I know? :D
 
So I did some looking around and they changed their name from Kennesaw Mountain to Tactical Armor at some point. They've had a lot of negative reviews and poor workmanship issues. If you have placed your order, I hope it works out for the best and if you haven't placed your order then you might want to rethink it.

Here are some threads about Kennesaw/Tactical.

Here is a 2nd gen that got bumpers from them. Check out the welds on the second page. Pretty bad IMO.

Remember to lower bump stops to not blow out those new nice rear tokico lc shocks. You need about 3 1/4" lower stock rear bumps.
 
Orders been placed :(. But and a big BUT, he only has a small portion of the final amount, so if it isnt right he won't get paid. I personally met Kyle (owner) and saw his shop and seemed like a nice enough guy. Of course most folks trying to sell you something are nice. Saw some of the bumpers he was fabbing in his shop and they all looked nice. I also like the fact he installs the bumpers for free locally. Thanks for the heads up. We will see how it goes from here!
 
Jayrolla, more specifics on bump stops please. What do I need to get to do this and where from? Thanks!

People say you dont need too but Steve at Sonoran Steel swears by it. If you let the new shocks flex all the way too the stock bump stop it will blow out the tokico shock and thats why a lot of peoples rear ends are super soft and blame the LC coil. Steve dont sell them but if you email him he might. He has a 2" spacer block and new soft aftermarket bump stops. Or you can do what I'm going to do and make 3 1/4" blocks out of steel and reuse the stockers till I buy some new bump stops.
 
Copy Jayrolla. Thanks! As far as the 33's, well they are definitely on my mind. Trying to get money tree to produce faster. Speaking of tires, any thoughts on treadwrights? Anyone using them? They look great and the price is half what you'd pay for new tires but of course are re treads.

Treadwright is all I run. I have 8 ply 265/75/16 guardoggs on runner and 10 ply 285/70/17 AT on my wifes expedition. They are awesome! Better than the bfg I've ran before.
 
Lift installed last night.

Got my lift on last night after 7 hours and a few beer. What a difference! I will post pics this afternoon after work.
