Rwalk's 2012 Outdoorsman Bully's Performance Build Thread

Glad your truck is all done.

When is it going to all come together?

Hopefully if the weather cooperates I'll have everything installed mid April.

I'm planning on installing the body lift and rear spacer myself with the help of a few friends.

Well, after lots of waiting, tomorrow is the big day for the install.

I'll be doing:
3" body lift with gap guards
Rough Country 4.5" rear spacer
Cut rough country 4.5" lift coils to give me about 2" of rake and eliminate gas tank lean
Crank Bilsteins based on tire fitment
Rough country adjustable rear upper control arms
40x13.5x17 Yokohama geolander mt plus on 17x9 -12 offset method standards

Man, that SUV beside you is lower than your hood. Damn!!

 

[rwalk]

Got more pictures and some fender measurements

Front Driver 49.125"
Front Passenger 49.5"
Rear Driver 51.5"
Rear Passenger 52"








Trailer hitch after body lift:


Plenty of clearance in the rear:


Had to do some trimming of the front air dam and then some of the fender flare, inner fender, and minor trimming of the pinch seam (The tires clear all suspension components fine):

Gas tank lean much? lol

Truck looks awesome.

Yes just a little bit hahah.. We ended up not cutting coil to compensate for it because of how the RCX coils are wrapped, so I may try to use 2 different size spacers or just leave it

Thanks I'm very happy with how it came out and how it rides! I just wish pictures did it justice for how it looks in person. I'll have to get a picture of it parked next to a stock truck or some sort of guideline to really show how much bigger it is.

Usually people take pics beside a stock truck, or with themselves or girlfriend/wife and mention their height.
It's the only way to depict how big it is.

My wife is 5'3" and when my truck was exactly this height she was walking free and clear under the side mirrors. With inches to spare. Haha

So I get how big it is.
I got stated at EVERYWHERE I went. No kid!
Now it's sparingly.

How do the gears handle the 40's?
How bout the 4.7?

No issues with the gears or engine. I've got plenty of power and don't think I'd need any lower gearing for just driving around. I'm sure this will all change when I hook up to the trailer for the first time and haul my jeep, but we will see just how bad it is.

Based on how it drove unloaded with the 35s and 4.56's compared to the 40's, I don't feel any loss of power, so hopefully it won't be an issue loaded.

Whats your MPGs?
Is this your daily driver too?

 

[rwalk]

Whats your MPGs?

Based on the EVIC I'm right around 14 doing probably 75% around town 25% highway running a 93 octane tune, mileage hasn't seemed to change much after the new lift but I still need to get some more miles on it for a better reading. I've yet to hand calculate..
