Hellwig 7883 installed..

[Graygoose]

Interesting, I also installed the 7883 kit but my links are different. I have much more thread exposed. I'm not lifted only running 1.5" Icon Rear coils. Not sure why the difference. Different kits for different lift amount I suspect, as they have several versions of links depending on lift amount.

My Maxtrac lift has a bracket that moved it down, let me see if I can find a pic. The upper bracket.

^^ Now that’s what I’m talking about.

well ordering the LED cubes today for draw hitch, need to get that done. And looks like my next project is Core4x4...

 

[Graygoose]

I assume I will need the bent panhard bar for diff cover.
Stock one barely rubs it now.

Yes get the bent bar since your relocation bracket is from the frame and drops the bar down. My relocation bracket is on the diff so it’s raised up therefore I got the straight bar.


Don’t forget code “hot damn” gets you 5% off but I think Nick can get them for you too.

thanks @JB1 !!

Have the 7009 bar coming, has anyone done comparisons using the firmest hole? I like my rear end real toight.

Those others look good, why doesn't hellwig produce rear lower control arms?

I had a hard time finding this 7883, Matt@Moes had issues, so found one supplier that had one box sitting in CA.

Ahh yeah that makes sense then. Looks nice

I still need to get under mine and adjust them a tad. I keep saying I will do it when I swap out the track bar I have still not ordered lol.

 

[Graygoose]

Yup, love they are self adjusting. And they are BEEFY compared to stockers.

Funny you posted this...KC had a sale awhile back on their little Cyclones, so I ordered a pair and plan to put 'em right there! They're only 500 lumens each, but that'll work for me as I don't spend much time driving backwards. It's not a quick install (I'll actually drill the mounting holes and use the existing ones for running the wires) either, but those KCs should hold up and work quite well.

Thanks JB1....after my next work trip, this is on the to do!

y'all be careful round that rabbit hole. That's the AEV switch pod. That little project sets you back about $800 to put the pod on, and the accessories to go with those switches ask me how I know--- go ahead!

Back to the drawing board----LOL

Thx...still like how you did it, probably ordering some Heise pods. (have a buddy at Metra )

I'm still not done putting mine in because I hate working on cold concrete, and then life happened for what vague attempt spring had at showing up in WI. Now I have birthdays to deal with.

It will be nice when done, then I can get on with other upgrades, like the core arms

 

[Pull Ya]

You'll like those arms. Just the difference in weight alone gives you an idea of how stout they are. They sure did the job on my truck and eliminated the wheel hop completely. And-----you can get them if different colors
