momo.75's '03 Sport 4.7L V8 Build

[eleven14]

I appreciate that. I still have the 5100s and the 884s. In the rear I am running Icon Overland Springs because of the rear bumper and tire carrier. It really rides good on the highway and longer trips.

Awesome, good to hear. Without the aftermarket rear bumper, do you feel like the superflexes were still a solid solution? Is that the only reason you moved up to the icons?

I've got an '08 with beat XREAS and some nasty rake. Hoping to gain a few inches and accommodate the weight of an ARB up front while leveling it out and improving the ride. Based on research so far, your old setup (5100s/884s and Superflexes in back) are as good as it gets. No plans for swapping out the stock rear bumper.

Only hesitancy was handling on the highway (routinely do 12+ hour drives) but it sounds like that's no factor.

Thanks again for the thoughts!

Yeah, the only reason I went to the Icon Overland Springs was because of the bumper. When I had the Superflex Springs on there before the bumper the ride was just as good. They are a solid choice for rear springs.

Looks great though. Love that black out look you have going on. Looks like the tumbler from Batman haha. Looking forward to your update then.

Thanks man. I kind of like the no rack look but I do use my rack. I am excited to get this new one.

Installed my Sherpa Equipment PRINCETON Rack and 44" light bar today. Really nice rack!

Awesome rig. You mention moog ball joint in your build. Is that for the lower? If so, any issues with them? Thanks.

 

[momo.75]

Thanks. The Camburgs UCAs come with Moog ball joints, or at least they did when i bought mine. They are very smooth

Really like that rack, nice how the light bar sits/incorparates into it.

Thanks. That was one of the biggest seeling points. I like it all being lower profile. I need to make a few minor adjustments. I am really pleased with the quality

New rack looks great.

How's the noise level compared to the old rack and to having no rack?

It looks like the fairing is tucked real close to the roofline so I'd think the noise would be fairly minimal.

Thanks man! I haven't been on the highway yet but just in general driving there isn't any more wind noise than when i didn't have the rack on. It is a pretty big difference compared to the Whitson. The light bar on the Whitson was higher, plus it had the bar above it.

I don't want anybody to get me wrong, I loved my Whitson rack. I just wanted a little different style rack.

Nice...! I was eyeing the Rocky Mountain rack. I was debating between them and Prinsu's rack. They look almost the same. What made you go with Rocky Mountain's rack?

 

[momo.75]

They are very similar but the fairing on the RMR doesn't have the cutouts on the ends and the side braces are a little more lower profile. I guess the main thing was the group buy price was much lower than the Prinsu
