[Jerry Gerner 2]

That's right bud, you're not getting off that easy. Lets' see them there pic's. I see your selling the stock parts. Whay size wheel/tire combo you running ?? Those pictures in your library, are they after the superlift, maybe the angle taken but I can't tell, especially with the low garage ceiling. Looks great though !!!!!

Very nice, I was looking at those rims in the tungsten grey but i like them in black too. I geuss if I get those they'll have to be the grey set so I don't copy you. Looks really good man. did you do any cutting/trimming on the cladding for the front tires? One thing I wasn't keen on with lift kits is the rear always sits lower then the front after, I like it to be level. Just me. Did you install the lift or have a shop do it? Front or rear locker, how much if you don't mind me asking.

:banana::driving::haveabeer::grin::supercool:

 

[Matt DeFina]

yea, i think i may have to jack up the rear a little more, the good news is i can still do a shackle lift and TT if need be. I don't mind if you copy wheels, go for it.



yep, the shop trimmed out the front a bit, and i get no rubbing at all. The rear elocker was about $450 and is gonna do great things in the OBX beach sand come september.

Looks great! Awesome spot for a scenic shot of Atlanta, too. I know you're grinning ear to ear each morning when you get in it. I've yet to see another lifted Trac anywhere around Atlanta. Or anywhere other than online, actually.



Great wheel/tire combo choice. Do they fit without much issue? I assume there is some rubbing. I bet somebody will ask you later about gas mileage, as if it ever was a deciding factor, lol. I hope to see some off road action shots and a little info on your impressions. At any rate, it looks awesome. Good job!



Any plans for what's next? I suggest the WP shackles to level out the rear end. They're cheap and really easy.



Makes me think bad thoughts about the things I want to do next. I really want to get a locker on the rear...and a whole lot of other things.

Answered some questions before I submitted.



Since you're nearby, who did your work? Was it 4Wheel Parts in Norcross?

 

[Jerry Gerner 2]

I was gonna suggest the WP shackles to level it out too. Don't do any TT though, too much stress on front end parts.

:driving::haveabeer::banana:

 

[Matt DeFina]

thanks Hugh! :grin:

yes i LOVE getting in it in the morning.. Actually feels more like a truck now that i have to step up a bit higher, and am at eye level w/ the F series boys on the road.



no issues on rubbing as 4 wheel parts shop trimmed the front plastic for me.



this is what happens once you no longer have car payments.. all sorts of fun options become possible. been thinking about swaping out the brush guard for some more armour up front with a winch..like this:

That's exactly what I want to do with the front end. I'm looking into fabricating one myself right now. Probably going to practice with making a cargo basket first, though. I also want a tube rear bumper. But my biggest wants are a solid front axle and 9" rear end. Having responsible priorities sucks.

 

[Johnny O]

Looks good!

 

[Craig Martin 2]

Love the light bar!!! Is that a stock cross rail? I love the look of the lo profile lights on it!! Damn I need to find one of them....do we share the cross rails with any other trucks? I could take a look in the scrap yard for one.

By the way your truck is EXACTLY like how I want to get mine to one of these days...now that the EX isn't sucking me dry anymore :banana:

 

[Chad Merry]

Keep an eye on your E-Locker. I was going to run that up front but got alot of negative feedback about the reliability of the units, and that they do not always unlock and lock when switched. And that the electrical solenoid often fails.

 

[chargedtrac]

CityBoyAtl, I like the look and the lift on your ST. Nice job. :supercool:

:supercool::supercool::supercool:

 

[Matt DeFina]

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. :grin:



Kegger, the cross bars were bought as aftermarket, but can't remember where.. sorry.



Chad, yea, i saw some of those reviews too, but i also saw issues that can happen with an air locker.. and since the Raptor is using elockers, i figure they must have improved over time.



I'll submit a report of the elocker after I abuse it in September :supercool:

 

[Chad Merry]

I think there are issues with all the lockers in my opinion. i wanted the Eaton so I would not have to install the compressor for my ARB. But so far the ARB has held up great up front, and i want to install another in the back, but the Powertrax has been great as well.



BTW your truck is nice.:supercool:
