Negative, my coilovers are not cranked.....yet.

 

Lol, im not hating. Im just giving thump a hard time.

They are 35's, 13.5 wide.

I just want people to know what you can cram under there

I bought that lift, found out how big it was, wanted bigger tires but had bought mine already.

Gators lives 10 minutes from me, bought the lift, and already had tires too.

We both got 35's and want bigger tires. Im just trying to spread the word. I think we will start a support group, "The buy 37's with this lift because you will regret it later" group.

Schmidtty, even with 35's it will look great. I think gators truck looks awesome with 35's. I just prefer as much tire as I can put under a lift as possible.

 

ya i agree with tnsilver, 35s look ok (haha, they look good), but 37s would look a lot meatier. im with ya on this one, get as much under there as possible. brr its cold outside!!!

 

yah, I wish I would have purchased the 37's, but just like you both, I had already purchased these Baja ATZ's for the Superlift I originally ordered. And I have already spent enough this time around on the entire package. Next time it will only be the tires, so it will be a little more affordable to make the change.

I am sure it will look great since both of your trucks look sweet with the 35's. Like I said, I will just run these until I need tires again and then upgrade to the 37's. Besides, if I really want to, I am sure I can find a way to wear out these tires quicker if I really start wanting the 37's!

I am leaning towards having KansasJoe just lift it the full 8" now that way I don't have to bring it back into the shop again at a later date for the new AAL. Thoughts?

I would say do it all now like kansas joe said you are already going to be there.

 

just do it all now. Less time, less money, less hassle.

 

thanks...now it is just a waiting game for the parts to get here.

I am sure I will have more questions later, I will stay in touch.

Gator post a picture of your angles.

It sure looks like you've got those coilovers cranked, a lot of time companies will ship their coilovers already cranked some-what.

 

I havent forgotten about the pic, i will try to take some this afternoon. I sent tnsilver a pic from my phone, maybe he replies before i post the pics, but from what i can tell, i got about a 1.5 inches to crank them still.

 

 

 

the aal yall are puttin in and turning the coilovers up how is this making the truck ride and how is that on you cv axles cause i just run the 6" dirt logic coil overs now and im running the 37" tires wouldnt mind running the 38" kumho cause thats the biggest they offer with the 24" rim for now??

 

My parts will be delivered between 1000-1200 tomorrow!!!!

Damn I feel like a kid before Christmas! Too Funny!

Parts arrived a few days ago. Dropped the truck off with KansasJoe (GeneralSpringKC.com) for the install. Will get it back on Tuesday (12 Feb) so I am really looking forward to that.

I put a few updated pics in the gallery below with the wheels/tires and lift all crammed into the back of my truck.

I will not be able to update with finished pics until Saturday or Sunday after I get the truck. I am taking my wife on a little 3 night four day vacation to Eureka Springs, Arkansas...got a nice little cabin in the woods. I think I owe her right now!! LOL!

OK, so I got all the parts in and delivered the truck to Kansas Joe for install. I delivered everything as it arrived, so I didn't look at the suspension kit at all.

Kansas Joe starts the install and gets down to the Coilovers...well, he opens them up and there is one blue coilover and one black one. He asks if I want him to install them...I tell him yes, go ahead and I will deal with 4wheelparts.com to correct this issue. So I call 4wp and talk to them about this issue and tell them I want them to send me a new coilover to match one of the two I have already...at first they give me a hassle and tell me that they were going to have to charge me $540.00 to ship the replacement. I tell them hell no, I am not paying for the replacement to be shipped to me or to ship the old one back to them. They agreed and my new coilover is on its way. I am not sure which color I will get, but I am hoping for blue since my truck is blue. By the way, ProComp is starting to make their coilovers in black instead of blue so that is why I got one of each color accidentally.

Next issue is even worse...I get to Kansas Joe's to pick up the truck today and man does it look sweet. However, he was still installing the lengthened and balanced front drive shaft so we had to wait to install the wheels/tires. Once complete the wheels and tires start to go on...and here we go...the damn rims lock up against my calipers when tightened. So now I need a spacer of some sort to allow me to mount these rims. I was thinking of just a nice thin 1/2" billet spacer or something along those lines, any suggestions?

I am going to call 4wp in the morning and bitch them out about not telling me these rims would not fit my truck. Hopefully they will send me some spacers to alleviate these issues. Sending them back is not what I want to do, since I love the look of these wheels mounted on my truck.

So, I had to throw the stock wheels/tires back on the truck and drive home that way. She rode nice and straight and not to mention smooth with those coilovers. Kansas Joe gave me 3 additional inches of AAL in the back and the front coilovers are cranked within one inch of the max...nice and tall and begging for the 35" tires to be installed.

OK, that is enough drama for tonight. One last shoutout...Kansas Joe is a quality guy and did an outstanding job for me on the install...and the price was not bad considering he installed the entire lift, sent out the front driveshaft to be lengthened and rebalanced, added 3" of AAL to the rear and had the front end aligned at the local Ford Dealer.
