Damn it, where are you wheeling at, looks like bogger territory for sure

[crapyota]

i mainly wheel at walker valley its got a little of everything and the trails are tight and muddy. you can pretty much expect someone to have body damage and real good time. i ran reiter last week with no problem but seem i always get challenged at walker.heres a couple photo's from a few months ago.



so thats what i am building my rig to conquer a little variety. i like it all as long as it require's me to lock the hubs and use 4wd.

nice build fellow wa wheeler. You heading to the reiter cleanup this may 7th?

[crapyota]

i should be at reiter nice and early!! always try and support local trails.
updat on truck last night i added in 1 more main leaf to fronts. i have a total of 5 leafs in my front and it feels stiff. no pics camera was with my sis. gonna go sunday and try it out. the fronts were realy soft before especialy after the winch went on we will see how she does. friday i should be hookin power up to the winch so i will try and get some good pics of it in action soon. i am always getting winched  crazy trails they should make lanes on them so i stay out of the hard spots.

well if I get my motor mounts put in tomorrow or saturday, we can run some trails on sunday. I got my 5.29's in and welded up the front.

ok some ?'s
i took my rig out and have wheeled it good.
somethings i noticed.
rears up front flex awesome,but i think my shackle is coming up and hitting the bottom of frame can hear and feel it. now my? are bumpstops   gonna help this,or are marlin shackles? you can see in my build my shackle angle is good,but this thing just wants to flex.
and do the bumpstops from marlin just go onto u-bolt plate it looks like it wont line up with the frame when pushing up?
also i am getting a set of waggy springs i believe 5 leaf pack. now are these gonna give me lift in the rear? how much? am i gonna need to order some longer shackles? want to stay away from big lift blocks.
i have 3 1/2" lift blocks and my stock springs are starting to go negative the are realy flat. 
           thanks for the info.

To line up the bump stops, you've gotta make some angled spacers out of box tube and plate. I believe it's included in the Marlin lift kit. Yup it is...

Cycle your suspension to figure out the spacing and then fab some up accordingly. I'll be making some both front and rear for mine, maybe I'll make up a write up... Not that it hasn't been done before or anything.

The bump stops are Energy Suspension generic bumpstop product# 9.9137.
