GraemeWare Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Well now! That tells a very different story. I did not realize this was a two-step destruction. Things were already shabby and then went to worse after a bit of antsy acceleration methinks. Jared, Things looked great until the kid used the "I'll plant my foot on the gas and just spin the wheels until it breaks" method ....

Disco2Guy Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 The video stopped playing just after the bouncy-bouncy, but it was a good laugh. You'd think Lucas learned to drive from Chuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineryrover Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've kinda/sorta thought about doing coils, but I wondered about how much lift there would actually be once the truck was loaded. If it gives 2" on a stocker, that's probably an inch at best on my rig, and that's not going to cut it. I am not sure what tire size you are running, but I measured the distance from the top of the tire to the center of the wheel arch. The front is 6.5" and the rear is 7.0". I am running 265/60/18.

DHappel Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Lol was that a piece of driveline I heard hit Alysons D2?I think it was the spring. Apparently Katrina doesn't like people filming her and decided to throw things at Alyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeWare Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think it was the spring. Apparently Katrina doesn't like people filming her and decided to throw things at Alyson. Don, It was the top-hat from the x-spring as the axle moved forward and under the vehicle, and the main spring dislocated. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I am not sure what tire size you are running, but I measured the distance from the top of the tire to the center of the wheel arch. The front is 6.5" and the rear is 7.0". I am running 265/60/18. The best way to measure is from wheel center to a fixed point on the vehicle such as the wheel arch, that way it takes tire size out of the picture. FWIW, I'm currently running 275/65-18 which measures out at about 32". On my next tire purchase I may try a 265/70 which would be slightly narrower but closer to 33". It would mean I wouldn't be able to drive if I'm on the bump stops though, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was rock that Katrina's front tire spit out. We looked for parts and didn't see any where I was stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
