Helper bags for the ride, and I agree with Blizz, keep the fenders flares.

my guy that did it is taking it back thursday to fix it thinks its sitting on the bump stomps.....im going to take the flares off see what it looks like i can always put them back on....

can anyone explain what the bump stops are for ? And what is the mod everyone is talking about for ?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Dont do that...look at my truck or JKs truck...they are both flareless drops on 3/5.... Yours adds character!!! DONT take them off, you'll regret it...it sets you apart man
can anyone explain what the bump stops are for ? And what is the mod everyone is talking about for ?
They prevent the axle from slamming against the frame if you bottom out on something...the bump stops are huge rubber cushion cones attatched to the frame pointing down so that they absorb the hit instead of hitting the frame itself (which would be metal against metal)
They are large though...so when we drop our trucks sooo low (3/5 drop)...the truck is sitting lower now resting the bump stops on the axle..causing it to act like a spring on dips and bumps in the road
usually theres like..4 inches or so clearance between the bottom of the bump stop and the axle
---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------
And the mod we are talking about is just removing the bumpstop and its mounting bracket and putting a polyurathane pad in its place (which is about 1/10 the height) giving it clearance again

Get some new shocoks Coopie, Bilsteins are on the long side for a 5" drop even with extensions so I would say some Monroes or Belltech Street Perf. 4" drop shocks.

yeah free travel mod is getting done thursday..... looking into shocks....going to look at them tonight........ its a good club to be apart of it i cant stop looking at it

$160 for alignment...suckaaaa!!!! ;)
your ride looks great man...i cant wait to get my 3/5 on also...i agree with blizzard about the flares, but maybe you could get them color matched along with your bumper.
BlizzardX23
10-06-2009, 10:12 PM
I think the gray is a good contrast...I've always liked the look of your truck..its always stood out
either way, its coming along great! :)

Nice! My parts (pretty much everything you listed minus the roll pan and tail lights and add a hood) were supposed to be painted today. I'm going to confirm in the morning but I should be able to get it back tomorrow! :head3:

I think they are good as is, one thing you do have to do urgently (i know you plan to already) is get rid of that ugly numper and grille shell.

Looks good man and it's going to look even better with the paint matched parts. Is it a 2WD?

i agree...but does look a lot better! hey so are u back from Iraq then? if so, welcome back !!!
Some 3/4" spacers would be sweet. I kinda like the flares especially if you had some smooth colormatched stock flares. Looks so much better slammed on those slides :cheers:

still in iraq for 18 more days!!!! im still kinda torn on keeping them or not going to take these off and then if i dont like it going to get some paintmatched smooth ones
