Dropped my new Sport

UNBROKEN · Aug 6, 2014

Picked it up Monday...been busting ass to get the mods I wanted done and the stance right. Details are in my build thread in the Member Trucks area...the suspension is the Bell Tech 2/4, Spohn adjustable panhard and Hellwig swaybars front and rear. SRT10 reps with Toyo Proxes ST II 305/40/22.
I got a set of OEM link bars from David that I'm gonna lengthen to center the wheels...they're not shifted forward much but I can still see it. Probably only gonna lengthen them 1/4-3/8"

You sir SUCK!! You have the truck I'm looking for, but finding a white 4 door sport in my area seems to be proving almost impossible. They're all either gray, silver, or black, none of which I want cause these things look killer in white. Congrats!!

Very nice!

This is exactly the truck I keep telling myself I would trade my R/T for.

UNBROKEN · Aug 6, 2014

Man it's stupid how nice they've gotten on the inside. I think the only thing I'm missing inside is the trailer brake controller...but there's no hitch and I don't plan to haul any trailers so screw it. lol

SICK. White favorite color of mine 3 days and already all those mods. Damn you are my hero. Lol

P71Ryan · Aug 6, 2014

I'm still shopping for a 13/14 used Sport but you've sold me on the 2/4 drop and SRT10 reps. Did you do the drop yourself? I'm looking at a blue one right now that is 2 miles away but basically fully loaded. Nice truck fyi, been following the old and new build thread.

Color doesn't matter to me that much since I'll be dipping it.

UNBROKEN · Aug 6, 2014

Yes, I did it myself. Took about 4 hours working alone. I think doing the back sucks worse than the front....you absolutely have to take out the fender liners to get to the upper shock bolt. I still had an 18mm wrench I cut in half last time to fit on the nut. It's the dumbest design I've ever seen.

DavidRam · Aug 6, 2014

I am surprised that you would only be 1/4 - 3/8 forward on the rear axle. My truck was closer to 3/4. Would that be the difference between cc and rc?

When I centered mine, I chose the red line to be where the wheels are centered, and not the yellow line as the rear part of the wheel well angles out more than the front (I am sure you don't need a lesson from me about this, just sayin, lol!). It is dead center now (the shadows in the pic make it look a little off).

DavidRam · Aug 6, 2014

Oh, and I hope you post alot of details about lengthening the oem control arms... hint, hint!

Are you gonna use the oem bushings??

UNBROKEN · Aug 6, 2014

Yes. Just gonna slice em up and weld em back together with a solid bar stock inside for strength. Nothing to it.

Big Boi · Aug 6, 2014

Envy..... LoL

petesnchz · Aug 7, 2014

Hmm, I used a crows foot on the rear top shock bolt and didn't meet to remove the fender liner.

Statcher1 · Aug 7, 2014

Looking good man.

Yep, they could have easily moved the upper mount up a half inch and made a world of difference.

Nice looking truck and you put my absolute favorite looking tire on there to boot lol.

kcdt58 · Aug 7, 2014

I'm going out on a limb and will say that is the best looking truck I've ever seen. Wow...

Pigeonman · Aug 7, 2014

Looking great! Love those wheels. Want em in black someday for mine.

Booms · Aug 7, 2014

That's a beautiful truck. I was looking at a white Express, but already had a white 2005 SLT so I decided to go with the blue this time around. Anyway, NICE RIDE!

14RAMRT · Aug 7, 2014

Looks great. Just finished up my drop on my 2014 R/T with the belltech kit. I bought the 13/16 crows foot as I thought it was for the rear shocks top bolts but turned out my bolts are 21mm. I did the both sides with the fender liners on so you can imagine how fun that was.
Lol.

Going to check on a couple things today as it got late yesterday but one thing I noticed is on the fronts is I couldn't use the dust covers on the front shocks as they didn't fit through the lca hole and the drivers side top shock shaft to screw on too stuck up twice as high as the passenger side.

UNBROKEN · Aug 7, 2014

All I can say so far is everyone running this kit check your front shock bushings. In 15 miles to the alignment shop mine slid out one side...both of them.
