HappyGilmore's newly lifted X

[HappyGilmore]

amp yes, subs no. the amp is secured quite well while the subs are removed. i had an excellent time. probably gonna get rid of the sound system overall. im over that phase. im content with some nice coaxles and a solid head unit now.

i hear that, i sold all my audio and funded my whole buildup AND a trip to Costa Rica....i dont miss the bumping and pounding much at all.

are your radius arms extended? or long travel?

is there a difference between long travel radius arms, and extended?

you extend your radius arms to acheive longer travel. so yes my arms are extended and yes i have a long travel system lol. there is no difference they are the same.

looks like you have a 4wd X so your long travel system will be more money, but RAs are the same i belive. some one correct me if im wrong.

R/A's are not the same for 2 and 4wd. 2wd beams are thicker at the arm mount than the 4wd beams from what I understand.

you got your radius arms from a guys on dezert rangers (gd company)?

 

[HappyGilmore]

yes sir. he built my radius arms, i beams and engine cage all custom to the truck with my truck in his driveway. installed it all too. he doesnt do 4x4 beams but he might do your radius arms.

Bent the **** out your fender jumpin' didn't ya? Did that on terraces at my buddy's house.

 

[HappyGilmore]

hahahha yes, yes i did. my fenders are all curled in and popped out and the fender is a good half inch above the hood line hahahahaha. glass this weekend i promise.

wow it looks like it barely lifted yours, what size shackles are you using. my rear end is really high and i want it lower but dont feel like re arching the springs so im hoping a good beating this weekend will settle them in a little

yeah my shackle is about the same size but the spring is longer. i also bought them used.

 

[BigDave!!!]

ohh yeah that would make sence they are probably already broken in too. mine have settled about an inch or 2 since i picked up the truck but its still a good 2-3 inches higher in the rear, i guess they will settle in more with time though
