    I've been patiently waiting for the ADS rear bump stop kit. @n2deep also mentioned ADS and MCM are working on a new rear shock mount kit that would allow for a longer shock/more travel. I am still undecided, but I definitely want an ADS 3.0 bypass of some sort back there to match the front. Now the indecision comes from Camburg's current setup and it is all bolt on except for the lower shock mount. @zackbremer proves it is a worthy setup :cool:

    Yes it was still there

    i think the key with that camburg kit is also getting springs that give u the right ride height, otherwise cus of the shock angle the piston sits right before the short tube and bump zone...now that im higher in the rear i can actually tune the bypass like its meant to be, and ive seen a significant improvement in performance

    a 3.0 back there is what i should have done in hind sight..it fits and has more valve stacks ..its a no brainer king or ads 3.0 bypass do it

    also have them clock the bypass tubes to the front(facing ground and front tire), the standard position they get rubbed a lil

    The bumpstop kit from ADS should be ready soon gonna get test fitted soon on a truck:spy:.
    But if you are gonna go SUA the bumpstop kit will be different as the rear is gonna cycle a little different so will need different mount brackets. And my understanding on the shock relocation kit it will be later this year I seen the test shock, that 3.0 will look sick back there and work amazing like all ADS. And MCM is gonna have another leaf pack available for guys that carry extra weight back there and want SUA. I think a soft pack, heavy duty, and extra heavy duty. I'm not sure if MCM's relocation kit will work with the SOA. But I didn' ask so I'm just making an assumption.

    Just been getting a game plan together. Gotta buy a house to keep the wife happy and so we can finally be official in Chandler.

    UPDATE
    TRON just finished getting the fenders painted and touched up yesterday!:cool: From here I'll be getting the inner fenders bedlined, and then have plans to make some inner fender liners. Since the entire front end was blended and made new again, I'm definitely investing in a clear bra this time around!

    Moving on from aesthetics, I ordered a pair of stock spindles and will order TC Spindle Gussets, and Cam Tabs....still considering if I need the TC bed stiffeners. I've come back down to reality and will pass on 37s for abit longer. There's no sense in going up in size just for looks....and as much as I've gone over the idea of 37s, that's all I'd be doing:playball:

    2018 is already a damn busy year, and with having to buy a house it won't be easy to complete all my mod goals this year. With that said, I'll be keeping it simple and just replacing the rear shocks with ADS 2.5 triple bypasses. The Camburg or equivalent shock hoop, 3.0s, and bumps will have to wait. With that bringing together a solid suspension, my only big mod left to complete this year will be a rear high clearance bumper. Annnnd now you're all caught up!:oldglory:

    SDHQ Fiberglass Round 2 - Lamb Fab LLC, Gilbert, AZ

    Fiberglass is not for the faint heart. It's almost never the same and always requires time and patience getting it right, but damn when it is right.... :drool: The guys over at Lamb Fab LLC in Gilbert have outdone themselves with this project. The entire front end of TRON was blended as well as perfecting the body lines making these fenders look straight from the factory. I cant thank those guys enough for their attention to detail and highly recommend them to anyone in need of some paint/auto body work, sky is the limit! :cheers:

    That looks legit especially considering this is with stock lower arms! Do you have a front shot showcasing the stance width?
