    Who lives in Texas

    Hey, im a socal born and bred guy so I’ve never even been to Texas, but will be moving for my wife’s job in two months. Is there any pre runner/Baja style off-roading out near the DFW area other than mudding?

    Shock Weepage is Normal

    That’s a pretty standard guideline for any shock....or at least in my experience with manufacturers. That’s not considered an active leak and would not be warrantyable. The oil is suppose to either collect into a drip or saturate the entire body of the shock to qualify with my manufacturer of...

    Led headlight bulb?

    I run led in my 2011, my lamps required re aiming but that may just be because I noticed a stronger cut line with the brighter bulb. I’m super happy with my purchase.

    Ailingment cams with long travel?

    I might give em a try as I can always weld in washers later if I don’t like em. I have no idea what the number would be. I’m sure the high number for oem arms is because only the torque setting of the bolt/nut prevents the arm from sliding in the factory set up. With a cam the bolt shouldn’t...

    Factory Control Arm

    Read again. I clearly state “if it’s done at the dealer” A bushing is not just a bushing nor is a ball joint just a ball joint. The type of metals, the process the tolerances are all key. But again as an un professional ass hole, I guess it’s all the same to the clam. Thanks for applause...

    Ailingment cams with long travel?

    “Raptor as hard” lol I don’t go super hard either. My front end is done and the Baja kits stuff wasn’t much more than sock replacement setup with a reinforced knuckle. As the kids say, you only yolo once right?

    Factory Control Arm

    Lots of wrong info here. No1 when your purchase and have a dealership install, or even many qualified repair shops, It comes with a workmanship and parts guarantee. The workmanship warranty covering any defects or poor execution of the labor resulting in other or a repeat repair. The parts...

    Ailingment cams with long travel?

    The Baja kit comes with weld washers, so that is what they intended. The SDHQ cam adjuster tabs look pretty chingon compared to a factory one on most vehicles. How hard are you running your truck? boarder1995x2

    Factory Control Arm

    For the price difference I’d grab the oem. Also warranty for it is much easier if it’s done at the dealer. You won’t pay labor or part for 1 year and around 10-12k depending on the dealer. If you order online your on the hook for removal costs, shipping, reinstalling and alignment. If your...

    Ailingment cams with long travel?

    *I’m aware of the spelling in the heading but can’t figure out how to fix* I’m gathering the parts for my LT setup so as soon as my shocks are completed I can start installing. I’ve been kicking around the idea of not doing weld washers on the lower arm and doing alignment cams and...

    Factory Control Arm

    The upper control arm is just a black control arm. The aftermarket may have slight variations, it may not. It’s kinda tuff to tell unless you have em in hand. Also aftermarket stuff tends to change rapidly from my experience, almost like the suppliers change a lot for the aftermarket companies...

    Deavers right and left?

    I doubt it, my deavers were only directional front and rear, i installed and it sits level. Is the method of measurement consistent? Did you double check your measurements?

    Just ordered Baja Kits LT kit.

    Biffler So basically as the old kit would locate the tower off both control arm pockets and essentially bolt in before being welded. The new setup requires the arms and spindle to be installed to locate the rear arm pocket and burn that in, then the new shock tower is located off that? And...

    GEN 1 Anybody have a dealer-rebuilt transmission?

    By the parts list it looks like they did a pretty much complete reman. New torque converter, clutches bands ect. Then it says that they had to do a second repair of removing the valve body and shift solenoids and replacing and refilling, clearing learned values, updated some sort of calibration...

    Just ordered Baja Kits LT kit.

    Flat rate dude, ain’t nobody got time for grammar and spelling, and “procedure”. Lol I guess king is backed up so itl be a while before I even get the parts, but I’ll keep a thread for it once I tear into it. I’m recovering from a foot surgery so I’m stuck at home and figured why not share...

    Just ordered Baja Kits LT kit.

    So I just pulled the trigger, now have 2 months to stew in remorse about what I’m going to do to my truck lol. I just put in the order on a Baja Kits race kit for my raptor. I went back and forth between stock length arms from svc and a mid travel kit from BMS, to checking out RPGs bolt...

    GEN 1 Anybody have a dealer-rebuilt transmission?

    My trans was rebuilt for a bad 1-2 clutch. I was driving a lot of rush hour LA traffic and it would snap hard on the 1-2 shift around 15mph. I got it back and it was leaking from the main pump seal on the front. They redid that and it’s been fine for about 10k Miles. If the tranny guy knows what...

    Rear end bounce / wobble at highway speed?

    My truck was bouncy and loose over bumps, and mid turn freeway speeds it would kinda “waggle” it’s ass like a happy dog. Did king 3.0s and deavers +2 and a +2 shackle and a rpg bump kit. Truck felt like different vehicle all together on road and off. My shocks and leafs were both smoked and...
