As always great work! I love what your doing with your truck. It looks great and is very functional. really like the idea of making your own emblems too. Little things like that help set your's away from other's.



FYI we are now a Core 4x4 dealer as well. Just signed up

What’s the reason for those rear upper/lower control brackets, no need for longer rear lowers/shorter uppers? Will they center the rear diff pinion using factory length upper/lower arms?

I have the arms set at the same length as stock, but yes you can increase or decrease the length to fine tune your pinion angle. The stock arms are a hollow tube that weigh maybe 4 lbs, whereas each one of the Core4x4 arms weigh about 10lbs so there’s no flex. The brackets were added to get the arms as close to parallel as I could.

Keep in mind these items were all an upgrade and not a necessity to fix any “problems”. I just drove my truck on a 1400 mile round trip and it rode fine.

Here’s a pic of the stock panhard bar next to the Core4x4 bar. The stock bar is a hollow tube but the Core4x4 is a larger diameter and solid.






The stock sway bar was also a hollow tube but the hellwig is solid steel.

Awesome upgrades, bad@$$ truck.

How much does it actually drop the control arms? Looking at running around 3.5-4” of rear lift. That looks bad ass

Fricken beautiful man, nice work. Your truck is a beast

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate that

@crazykid1994 I measured the brackets and it drops the arms exactly 4" (bolt center to bolt center)

Interesting...

And yeah your truck IS a beast, one of my favorites on here!

Awesome. That’ll work perfect for my needs then. Thank you
