Got a little antsy today. Pulled all the seats out and got the vinyl fitted.

Next, pull the dash and plum AC/heat vents and get that all working. Most of the body work is done I just need to convince the wife to let me paint it.

Did you reuse the padding on the vinyl? That stuff was nasty looking.

I just got everything fitted I am gonna redo the padding befor final install. There is a place by me that sells the padding with a foil backing to better insulate so I will probably use that. It went in supprizingly easy once i figured out how to worl it under the cage.

So my buddy brought over the scales to way our trucks. I through the interior all back together, spare etc. 3/4 tank of gas. Came in just under 5200lbs (5199 haha) not bad for full 2" cage.
I'm really happy with the bias, 51.3 % rear heavy and 50.7% pass heavy.

Wow we have similarly equipped trucks minus the cage. I would think I would be heavier. I did cut out all the internal sheet metal before caging. I wonder were I lost all the extra weight?

Still have the factory core support. I bet the wheels are factor.

I may be able to help you out soon on the aluminum panel stuff. I'm waiting on an invoice to roll through then I'm getting a stomp shear and a bead roll. It will be next month at the soonest. Just incase you don't find someone sooner. Robert

I second that. I have worked with Ronnie setting up some of his shocks on a friends race car. The way they are set up there is no low-speed damping. If you close the valves down to fix that it gets very harsh. Ronnie stated that low speed could be put in them, but he does not believe that they need it and gets very grumpy when you bring the subject up. Due to the lack of low speed, we ended up running a much stiffer spring rate than I normally would. It kind of works, but it still has drawbacks.

Didnt want to clog up the other guys thread...

With your 350/450 spring rate, at ride height, where are your dual rate stoppers set at? Basically how soon does it get into the 450 spring?

I'm thinking he's just gonna put a bronco emblem underneath it. Or at least I think it would be funny if he did.
