    Hodges 2016 Bilstein Build

    My fogs are wired to factory switch. I think if you go back through my build thread, i did all the math to make sure it wouldn't cook anything.

    Hodges 2016 Bilstein Build

    I havent done anything to it! Haha. I went to europe for a month and a half and came back to winter time. The factory 20s with 1.5" spacers and OEM sized duratracs are my winter shit anyways, so now we wait for spring to do wheels & tires. Other than that my "build" is pretty well done i think...

    Hodges 2016 Bilstein Build

    Gross. FWIW my eibach protruck coils in the arse end of my unit, with the icon 2.0 shocks has been beautyyy. If anything the ass sits a bit to high for my liking as i run a nearly empty/light load in the box 99% of the time. I bought them after reading that they are supposed to be 1" lift with a...

    Kyle's Overlandish Build (Westin Outlaw Bumper)

    Measured that UCA clearance and if it moves that inside edge of the tire in 1.6" id be getting probably less than 0.5" between uca and sidewall. If the 17/35 setup balloons out more than my 20/33s itd be worse, and so would a more aggressive sidewall than duratracs. Im thinking -12 would be wise.

    This is what im looking at if i go 35x12.5r17 with a zero offset, the comparison setup in the photo is my current 33x10.8r20 with the -19 offset i get running spacers on factory wheels.

    Hmm, now you got me thinking a 35x12.5r17 might rub suspension in a 0 offset...

    Trying to use the custom offset gallery but people are ducking horrendous at submitting their setups and theres so much misinformation. Would you have preferred 0 offset in hindsight?

    What is your wheel/tire size exactly? Im stuck between ordering a 0 offset or -12 offset wheel. I gotta remember that a 12.5" wide tire is gonna poke 21mm more than my stock set. The 0 offsets i can get in our hub bore so i dont need to buy hub rings.

    Kyle's Overlandish Build (Westin Outlaw Bumper)

    I think it did come down a bit with alignment. Looks like i have the rake i was expecting to have now. This is my before and after alignment numbers. You would be surprised just how goofy +1.5/+1.0 camber in front looked to the naked eye. After suspension install/before alignment it had a...

    Kyle's Overlandish Build (Westin Outlaw Bumper)

    Before and after. Tied the knuckle back to the strut tower with zipties to keep it from flopping out and putting pressure on the brake lines/CV joints. And here she is all buttoned up. In the rain again. I can physically see that i have an outrageously positive camber on the front now...

    Kyle's Overlandish Build (Westin Outlaw Bumper)

    Here is one of the hail/rain coffee breaks from day 1 lol ^ Day 2, I did the front end. I went in very confident based on how easy the rear went together. The front didnt end up being ridiculously difficult but I didn't find it to be a piece of cake either. Plenty of knuckle busting and curse...

    So I finally installed all my stockpiled goodies for the "Level *Plus*" The whole operation took 2 days, and each day was broken up when it went from +25 (celcius) to thunder, hail and extreme rain and then back again. I haven't got a garage right now so it all went down in the street. The...

    Sorry to raise this back up, but is there any reason a shop wont be able to do this spec for me with bilstien 6112s at 2.8 and zone UCAs?

    Hodges 2016 Bilstein Build

    Wheels and tires are top secret right now. As far as sizes, i wish a 35x11r17 wasnt unicorn status. Ill probably go with 35x12r17. I thinkkkkk i saw one of those cheap american trucks bumpers we were discussing a while back, in the wild up here. It was on a ram 2500 though so not exact. Had...

    Hodges 2016 Bilstein Build

    I got my rear stuff on today, then rained out (i don't have a garage, i put that ***** on blocks out front my suburban townhouse just to ghetto the neighborhood up a bit). Hoping to get my front stuff on tomorrow. Once the suspensions in i will order 17s with 35s. Those icons and eibach pro...

    I have like 3 different 1/2" impacts haha. To be honest, i hadn't even considered doing them manually to be possible, so good work i guess. Another tip for those is to keep the threads nice and oiled up with like anything youve got around. Fresh motor oil, old motor oil, chainsaw bar oil, gear...

    I have the eibach pro lift springs for the rear. They advertise 1" lift and people are reporting more like 1.5".

    Drove through some thick smoke with them, from the forest fires. Nothing thick enough to judge what a blizzard or fog will be like, yet.

    Kyle's Overlandish Build (Westin Outlaw Bumper)

    I drove 2 or 3 hours down the highway with the amber floods on and nobody flashed me too. Im going with max height for hemi quad cab. Not gonna risk the 9th clip (max for diesel). I was thinking the weight of the bumper i might do the 9th but ill just use a little strut shim if i really need a...
