The Dodge build-up

[BroncoJo]

I'll get more pictures when I get a few loose ends tied up.

So far:

Front:
3 inch Thuren coils
3.0 fox shocks valved by KORE
KORE sway bar and track bar
Carli control arms, high mount steering stabilizer and diff gaurd
2010 Mopar steering up grade (T-type)
Hydraulic bump stops
limiting straps

nets just shy of 11 inches of travel

Rear:
Deaver leaf springs (~1 inch raise)
3.0 fox shocks valved by KORE
Lowered factory bumps 2 inches

not sure on travel yet but it's somewhere south of 11 inches

Left to do:
Clearance front fenders for 37's
modify and install inner fenders
find some bumps for the rear
Maybe work on some rear air bags

Then onto bumpers, skid plates etc

notice a difference in power from the intake and exhaust?

Actually yes, I'm really impressed with the S&B intake and 5 inch exhaust. Less turbo lag and more power, as calculated by the butt dyno.

Yes, it still smokes btw, you can't see if from the cab though. It looks like your transmission is blowing out smoke when you accelerate.

The sway bar is way stiff, which makes for excellence street manners and faster corners but sucks on the RTI ramp. I'm still thinking about getting Thuren's quick disconnect when they come out.

Few random photos:



Not quite flexed out but you get the point


For JB (actually a lot less smoke than before)

S&B intake




edit: Also I'm looking for 2 more limiting straps and air/hydro bumps if anybody knows of any

I've always run a turndown on the old dodge. I think it cuts down on the noise some, and if there were any smoke, it's sends it down and spreads it out, making it seem like less than when it is billowing out a side exit. Funny thing, old Edge stuff could since boost and not add fuel until there was enough air, doesn't seem new stuff can do that.

Also, on this website, it says they must be run body side up. Yours are mounted shaft side up. What that means I have no idea but maybe it has something to do with why one of them doesn't work.

I'm thinking the new smarty tunes are suppose to reduce smoke even more, but I'm very pleased with how my truck is running and how quickly the smoke cleans up, even at full throttle, I'm not sure if I will be updating anytime soon.

I've read that, but the way I have it set up is how carli recommends so I'll need to do more research. I'm pretty sure the weak one is just low on Nitrogen, which I'll be checking soon.

Well the sheet metal started coming off and the 37's fit

Cut off wheel to the bottom corner of the front fenders, I'll get have to get a picture later.

I took my truck over to Firestone today to get it aligned but they said it was too big and recommended Chop's, has anybody used Chop's before? is it a decent shop? Last time I replaced the steering I did the alignment myself and it worked really well, but figure I'll let someone else check it over this time.
