LTDSC Build Thread

[LTDSC]

Installed them today.

Greased and placed the bushings, had to clean out the PC on the zerk hole threads but they went in. Had to grind off my steering stops on the lower OEM mount so they wouldn't destroy the LCA. Torqued the uniball and ready for install.

I'll be in pismo this coming weekend. I'll have some pics and videos from that.

My bump stop bolts came in today. I love when you order a "custom" bolt and they're actually correct!

 

[LTDSC]

Got home and installed these and checked the torque on everything. The lower uniball wasn't loose at all after 400 miles so that's good to see.

Bump extension is 1" it looks like a ton but it's no different than before, the arms are just angled more so the bump location is lower. TC includes a machined bump stop extension at just under 1" but the bolt on the super bumps doesn't work with it. So I made my own extensions from UMHW and a 3" hole saw. Came out great I think. I ended up using the M10x1.25x60 bolts in place of the x70 I ordered as well.

I like what you did with the limit strap mounts! What happens when you get secondary shocks though?:eyebrows:

I'll just mount to the outside of the shock mount.

Awesome thread! I'm new to the runner world, and you have given me a lot of ideas and inspiration! Thanks for posting all your work, you do quality stuff. I just got an 04 limited and am excited to start. Thanks.

Welded on my resi mounts today. Made sure it cleared the UCA and coils. I also bent the tabs to have more surface area to weld and it sucked it in to the frame a little more. Real happy with them.

I see Icons then I see some Kings. Why the change? Anything you didn't like about the Icons?

Man I hope not because that's all I've got lol

 

[LTDSC]

Oh yeah. Forgot to post. My icons blew up again in pismo after just rebuilding them so I ditched them. Got a pair of kings and absolutely love them.


Here's the post I forgot to post here lol

King sent the wrong resi mounts so they're still zip tied for now.

This might be a dumb question(s), but how do you like the bumpstops? Is it hard to replace the stock ones with these or is it a simple unbolt/bolt-in? Thanks!

oem can be a pain to get off. i had to use a pipe wrench to get mine off and it took a few minutes due to rust on the oem bump stop. install of the new one was easy. having it on a jack will help a lot. i didnt have to lift a tire off the ground but it did give me a bit more space to work with when installing mine

 

[LTDSC]

i used a pipe wrench as well. mine came off easy because no rust here but it should come out with a little work with a big pipe wrench.

Since you are in the NE, I would try to blow or wash out any dirt in the bumpstop mount (there's a small hole above the bumpstop) and generously squirt some PB Blaster in there for about a week straight before you try to remove the OEM bumpstops. Hopefully, this will let you remove them without breaking the stud on the bumpstop. I even did this to mine and I'm in the desert. My bumpstops came out without any issues.

 

[t-man]

My bumpstops were so frozen they broke off with almost no pressure at all. I ended up drilling and making a small hole, chiseling the welded nut out, then buying a nut and lock washer to secure the superbumps. Was fairly easy and quick.
