what do you guys think? :bowtie:

[Downbound]

Looks pretty sweet. Get bigger tires :D

[2006BAMFRADO]

:rocking: :rocking: :rocking:

[ryguy]

looks good but why did you decide to change kits? just for a bigger lift?

[LowBlue02]

Isn't the "After" usually supposed to look better than the "Before?" :anitoof:

Well, it's definitely huge. And in Fresno, that's all that matters to most people. Congrats Zuby.

[zubyc]

yup...that and i wanted something no one else has around here

[zubyc]

i think it looks alot better since i'm clearing the tire by a good amount but i'd like some 42's now

[Alden]

dang it zuby.. now your almost a foot taller than me :nono:

i agree... you are clearing the tires by a lot.. 42's would look good.. or just take off the body lift and sell it :think:

Did you just have it done? I was at full throttle saturday and monday and I didn't see your truck being worked on.

What shocks did you go with, and how does it ride compared to the cognito? Do you plan on going with the fts uniball kit and fts heimed steering?

[zubyc]

Ah...i'm just gonna leave the body lift on. too much of a hassle to take it off

it was there....they didn't work on it till sunday.

I have heimed steering and will be getting the unibals in dec hopefully

[Blue02]

Can't really tell much with the night pictures but it is def bigger. I like it :rocking:

[Alden]

how does the steering feel? what shocks did you go with? How does it ride compared to the cognito? How much are you cranked?

Looks good man

[zubyc]

Looks good man
Lots of ?'s lol

the steering is great

es3000 shocks

rides better than the cognito because my leafs were sitff

I'm hardly cranked...basically stock angles

I'll have better pics tomorrow

[Alden]

yes.. lots of ?'s because i'm jealous

Last question, I promise, what are the specs on the rear setup? I can see the big blocks and the hangers.. but what's the deal on the leaf springs? Are they stock leafs or do the leafs have a little arch in them?

[zubyc]

13" leafs and 4" block

[brock]

paint the frame and get a fuel cell -=] ps looks bitchen

[EWogy]

Ouch, sorry Zuby, but I'm still bigger, HAHAHA. On 40'S my front fenders measure 60" and the rears are at 57" because I like the rake and don't want the rear as high. Better get to cranking and get some bigger tires. I am with the others, looked better before and I like Cognito over FT anyday, but whatever you want. Just don't go jumping that kit unless you are ready for probs.
Evan

Oh yeah, and drive it everyday, extra car daily drivers are for pussies!
GET SOME 44S!!!!!

[DirtyBlackHoe]

it looks decent man but having the shit painted white looks horrible to me. :doublepuk

[bcubed]

Looked better before to me, I'm not feeling the design of the new kit ... it's bigger though :nono:

[Scott]

i do like the painted kit and i love the way it looks. :rocking: :imo if it were mine (witch it aint) i would run bigger wheels and tires... :mrt: i know thats expensive but it would look awsome! i definatly like that kit way better!

[Dark Eternal]

Congrats - you now sit taller than me. Wanna have a wheeling competition now :crazy:


BTW get me those pics when you get a chance, I really want to look at the kit in detail. Also get some bigger tires and a 14 bolt :read:

[zubyc]

it looks decent man but having the shit painted white looks horrible to me. :doublepuk
really? your the only person who has told me that

I am waiting on nitto to come out with 42's for 22" wheel. That is what i'lll probably get and keep some 40's for winter and pismo.

[Blue02]

I dont like the white either. Still a big truck though

[OrangeCrush]

truck looks awesome!

[DirtyBlackHoe]

just makes it stick out like a sore thumb and looks horrible to me...dont know why just most painted kits do.
trucks huge though.

[axisT6]

I guess this is jealousy speaking but HOLY CRAP!!!!! Zuby, EWogy, how in the hell do yall afford those trucks?? Especially at your ages??? Nice trucks though. :insane: :think: :rocking:

[Andy]

:rockit: Shit is really hot bro.... it looks better now :imo :rocking:

[00Silverado]

just makes it stick out like a sore thumb and looks horrible to me...dont know why just most painted kits do.

I dont mind the powdercoated subframe, thing I dont like is your powdercoated blocks, the subframe, and of course the fact that your 40s are way too small now :D :bowtie:

[dreamrr]

You gotta post some day time pictures. I think it looks kick ass!

[00sierra]

I love it, I really like the white and everything about it. I would get some bigger tires though, 42s w/ 22s would be badass! Can't wait till the daytime pics :rocking: :rocking: :rocking:

[LowBlue02]

That's a big bitch. :rocking:

[4mcrue]

Looks good, that thing is so huge! Don't you guys have lift laws at all? That thing would go around the block here and you'd be screwed!!
Sweet.

[ryguy]

holy poop thats huge :rocking:

[Steve]

I'm going to say I liked it before better...at least until you get some bigger tires on there! :D

[zubyc]

just to keep you guys unhappy im gonna stay with 40s :rocking: :crazy:

[Z71Edge]

Niiiiice Zuby :D. I think the 42's would look bad ass with it...but thats just my 2 cents

[zubyc]

someone needs to make 44's for 20"+ wheels...that would look sweet as hell and i'd get them fo sho

[Josh]

Ouch, sorry Zuby, but I'm still bigger, HAHAHA. On 40'S my front fenders measure 60"


you have glass, he has regular fenders as far as i can tell. :anitoof:

looks good dude, but i like the old stance and kit alot too :rocking:

[zubyc]

i loved the cognito and that's why i still recommend it to everyone

yah he has glass and my front fenders are tweaked down about an inch or so :anitoof:

[westcoast]

Go with Michellens they have 42's 43's 46's 50's 52's 53's for a 20" wheel. :bowtie:

[zubyc]

but don't they weigh an ungodly amount?

[EWogy]

you have glass, he has regular fenders as far as i can tell. :anitoof:

looks good dude, but i like the old stance and kit alot too :rocking:

Yeah, but I adjusted and subtracted 3" for the glass, so sorry Zuby I's still be looking down at you, haha :nono: . The Michelins don't weigh a lot, they are pizza cutters and are only rated upto like 55mph on the street. They are also very very expensive and ugly as shit. Just get Trevors old 44s that I used at the Truck Jam, they are brand new and he will hook u up with them super cheap. I mean, dirt cheap. If youre interested, let me know.
Evan

[zubyc]

shoot a price my way

[Dark Eternal]

no teh michelins are heavy as fuck. Like 200 lbs each.

http://www.michelintruck.com/michelintruck/productguide/newprod/TireSpecs.jsp?tread=XZL

[zubyc]

:pow:
screw that...way too heavy for IFS and 10bolt

[LowBlue02]

You know we've all taken this truck thing way too far when you're considering a tire that has this as one of it's selling points:

"Radial design helps deliver a smooth, quiet ride that helps insulate troops and shock-sensitive equipment."

:roflmao:

[MotoHead]

Once again Zuby you are fuckin nuts!

MotoHead

[westcoast]

Well if your truck is just gonna be show then get those for that and run some 42's or 44's everyday.

[zubyc]

:roflmao:
:lol:

me=nuts...nooo wayyyy :crazy:

I'm still going to take my truck into the dunes and play around. That's why i want to keep 40s. Just need to find a good option for bigger tires for the street

[EWogy]

I just Talked to Trevor and he said $1500 for em and they are brand new, less than a 1000 miles on em. Theyre 44" TSLs on 16.5" Welds. They still have the little plastic pointy things on em when you get em new.
Evan

[zubyc]

thats with the wheels? also, what welds?

[Mauro]

Truck looks sweet dude....as for Trevors welds, I'm pretty sure they are 16.5X14 Weld Racing Outbacks....someone correct me if I'm wrong...but I still think you should trade me :D:D

[EWogy]

$1500 That is wheels with tires. They are Weld Outbacks or Sidewinders, I dunno. In perfect shape. Sitting in his garage right now. I took em off after the show and they've been there still clean and shiny.
Evan

[1BAD9T7]

Ummm.... WOW! That is huge! Any pictures of the lift up front? I am interested in how they did the whole front design.

Looks good man, along with the rest, I think a bigger tire would look better, but yes, the extra stress is something to consider, not that you are making life easy for that truck as is :D

Again, looks good!

[brock]

awww zuby.. dont go with 22's... too bling... your a desert guy, lol...

[Phil]

damn zuby, i think its time to get a SFA. But it looks good, I kinda like it with the current tire size.

[Rob4x4]

Truck is huge but Im not digging the white powder coat on that lift. Theres just too much or something. I dont know but your truck is still sweet.

[Silverado]

I see what people are saying about there being too much white. I think if you got some chrome reservoir shocks it would break it up a lot. :imo

[Scott]

i like it :imo :ninja:

[OrangeCrush]

Damn son, where you workin?!


^^^^^^^

[zubyc]

I see what people are saying about there being too much white. I think if you got some chrome reservoir shocks it would break it up a lot. :imo
well i'm planing on getting some fox shocks but that's later on when they decide they want to sponsor me :anitoof: Also, i'm going to powedercoat the UCA and LCA light blue along with the torsion bars.

I don't work :imo

Jake

[z71hoe]

Damn, that makes those 40s look tiny.

[Matthew]

it looks decent man but having the shit painted white looks horrible to me. :doublepuk

:word: Paint that stuff Blue to match the graphics or black, white on suspension parts is an eyesore :imo Once that is done it would look sweet.

[Ciapd]

Are you selling the cognito lift? If so e-mail me with a price I will take it off your hands immediately for the right price.

He has already sold it another gmfs member :D

[Blown02]

truck looks good

[blade]

yea i dont like the all white powdercoat, but it would look alot better if the whole truck was white, get rid of those flames if you do anything :imo ive just never liked the flames, definatly tall though

[EWogy]

You want the 44s? Its a smokin deal. You can even just used em for when you wanna roll really big to shows and stuff.
Evan

[00sierra]

He has already sold it another gmfs member :D


Yup, can't wait till it gets here :D :D :D

[Alden]

which 38's do you want to run? I'd leave the body lift on with the 10" cognito :imo ... you'll have less cranking.

[00Silverado]

Lose the bodylift, look at Adams truck, plenty of clearance! With a bodylift you can run 40's. Go for the 38's and no bl! :bowtie:

[zubyc]

keep the body lift and 38s kevin

here are some new pics

Damn, that truck does look good. I would love to leave the bodylift on, but it will be too high and won't pass inspection, it'll be pushing it as it is...damn lift laws!!

[jdrake19]

NOT being gay or anything, :D how tall are you zuby? My fat ass couldn't get in your truck. :anitoof:

this is odd to see you with a FT kit now. all those times you would say how ugly you thought the FT front was opposed to the rest, and now you are rolling one. ironic
