Recently went LT, got some questions

Hey everyone!

recently got some new stuff and running into some things that I’d like to take care of before it’s too late.
first, the oem “splash fender guards” keep ripping. I’ve bought three sets and they’re already breaking once again. Any recommendations for a permanent replacement before my bypass hoops get in the way of everything?
Also, my bed loves to twerk while I’m in a whoop section, so much that one of my fender washers on my bedsides actually de threaded and now lives near Barstow main, any stabilizers that I should know of?

also!! Need a paint shop near SoCal that’ll be able to paint my fiberglass and possibly fix up my “shitment” is what I like to call it on my passenger side fender.

Video examples are on my Instagram @gianstndra

 

Well well look who it is lol. Welcome brother. For splash fender guards you can order the ark splash guards and cut them to fit. They’ve got some examples of that. I don’t run any at all have no issues.

Rear setup. Your rear isn’t long travel though is it? Yes, it moves a bit but shouldn’t be bucking etc like yours is. I’ve seen your vids. If you are long travel shock tuning will help dial that in. SS built does a rear frame reinforcement that would also help with this. I’m planning on that next year.

Give Joseph a call at Bajarex he’ll know a good paint shop that wants to do fiberglass work.

 

How’s it goin man!! Thanks for all the advice. Yes my rear is still “mid travel” haha but I just ordered everything so I wanna make sure that I’m ready for it! I’ll look into that frame reinforcement. Would I be fine running no splash guards? I’d be fine not running them personally hah

 

Yea you’ll be fine with no splash guards. I don’t run them.

Yea the problem you’re having is the rear can’t keep up with the front. What setup are you doing in the rear? I just priced the reinforced rear it’s about $5k or so just an fyi.

 

I’m running just a king 2.5 OEM replacement with a deaver k37 package. I have about a pinky’s width of up travel… definitely doesn’t keep up with my new front setup.

Haha that’s a little steeper than I thought! Maybe sometime next year like you said lol

 

What long travel rear are you going with?

 

King 3.0x16 piggyback bypasses
Spring under kit and deaver I-96

 

Perfect: you doing a bedcage?

 

I’ve got that setup 3.0 16” triple bypass and that leaf pack. Works well. https://vimeo.com/754382709

 

You’ll probably need a 1.5”-2” wheel spacer in the back also just a heads up

 

Wooo!! That’s badass
