    Looks really good... that's just the springs (coils) w/factory shocks?

    Please post an update on the ride quality after a couple of weeks. How much lift gained front and rear? I prefer the Eibach springs to the Westcott spacer lift. I really like the way the stock Pro handles . Mine is 14 months old with 20,400 miles and I have not done anything to it. Thanks!

    You are the first I have seen or heard of installing the new version of Eibach springs on 22 PRO.

    How's the ride quality? Hard to tell, is it leveled now with just the new springs upgrade?

    Have you measured before and after, since Eibach said its another 1.4 in the front?

    Good to know, I have the springs sitting in my garage, was going to wait until I needed new tires b/c i thought it might look awkward but it looks good on the factory size as well... might have to get mine installed sooner rather than later.

    Got the Westcott Designs front lift and Dobinsons rear springs installed on a Pro Fox takeoffs from a local member. Ride is a bit firmer than the ORP suspension, but doesn't feel sloppy anymore as nosedive and body roll are much reduced.

    One thing I've noticed is that I feel like I'm putting in more throttle than what I've used to speed up and maintain speed. Wind resistance? Not sure.

    Yesterday I was the idiot. Got high centered on the frame crossbar and gas tank. Minor damage on the frame, small dents on the exhaust next to the crossmember, chipped some paint, and fuel tank skid got dented (wasn't expecting it to be so flimsy but it did it's job). Didn't have any traction boards which probably would've gotten me out. Had to get a tow to recover ($800 with tax). Learn from me.

    It happens, man! Is your rig lifted or completely stock? Did you by chance engage crawl control in reverse?

    Thanks! It's stock except for the Falken Wildpeaks in stock size. Yea, I tried everything but the rocks I put under kept getting flung out and all my efforts kept digging me deeper in the sand so I stopped. I had a kind lady try to help me get out but she wasn't too experienced with kinetic energy ropes and she didn't seem comfortable using it so I didn't push it. Moral is: I couldve gotten 2 sets of Maxtrax for that tow bill.

    Nope, the skids there didn't even get damaged. I did undercoat it a few months ago if you're wondering.

    I would've been more mad if it did damage running boards but I specifically requested my build to not have them so I can get sliders later on and not deal with selling the boards.

    That sucks, but you seem relatively unscathed. That exhaust section bothers me how it’s situated. Honestly, that is probably the most exposed part that could benefit from some sort of simple skid plate. Ive spent time contemplating making something simple, but it seems the best way is what is already out there (transfer skid plate mounted onto a new crossmember that is installed behind that exhaust section).

    Did you have any recovery equipment with you? Were you too stuck to stack rocks?

    Edit: you answered those questions already :)

    Removing the bottom rear seat is a must do for folks who travel with rear seats folded down regularly or sleep/camp in the truck & don’t want to build a platform.
    Provides a lot of extra storage…

    Getting ready to prep my nerf bars for raptor lining. Never saw her w/o them. I kinda like the clean look. But being short, I kinda like having the steps :D

    20220713_123144.jpg

    Got some sanding to do. There's a bit of rust to get off of these. Hope to get it all done and cured by next Monday.

    PS.. next task is to clean my damn garage :p

    I believe it is better than line-x. A buddy of mine used it on his fenders and also on his rock sliders. It's been solid and no chips after 2+ years. He does a lot more off roading than I ever will, but I do like the texture and added layer of protection. Plus it is UV fade resistant.

    I have a hard time believing that since it's sold on Amazon and line x has been the industry standard for an eternity.

    You can purchase it directly from U-pol, on Amazon, or at some auto stores. It is expensive, but the reviews are positive and I've seen its performance first hand. But to each his/her own.

    Finally got the matching Transfer Case Shifter Knob to my Regular Shifter. A Guy on Etsy made this one for me (same guy I bought the larger shift knob from), I believe he also has the shift pattern in White on Black, as well.
