Kumho KL71's on a 3/1" Rough Country Kit..

**adkl1** · 09-26-2009, 01:30 PM

So i got everything done and on and im happy with the results. As far as the RC kit its a pretty soild set up, they leave a little to be desired but for the price i would give it 2 thumbs up. Lets just say its not a PRG kit.

Overview=

RC Spacers : They seem to be solid and no problems should come of them. Installing them is a different story though because they dont self set until you are ready to tighten them down. What i did to correct this i had some thin rubber { kinda like mudflap rubber just as not thick} and made a spacer sandwitch and drilled smaller than the bolt holes so they would stay put, that worked great plus i have no metal touching on the top or bottom of the spacer.

RC UCA'S: They also seem to be solid and i like the fact they can be greased. The install on them is not to bad,hardest part is getting the factory bolts loose but after that its no big deal. But i did get a little contact with the UCA on one little spot towrds the upper portion on the coil bucket so i ground down maybe a 1/8th of a inch and that seemed to take care of it. Also you will have to grind down some of the coil bucket lip just like with the other spacers ( i already had that done befor hand ).

Camber Bolts : I ordered them from yournissanparts.com and got them for $64 shipped and i installed them myself so i could save a hours worth of labor. Somehow i got them almost perfect because the alignment computer said so. Really the only thing tha was way off was the toe and it was off big time, it needed to be at (0.04) and it was at (1.54) Wow no wonder my tire were yelling at me the whole way there hahaha....

Bumpstops : I picked up a pair at autozone for $14 on my way home from the shop...

So the break down :

Kumho KL71's $1200.00 OTD with lifetime R&B...
RC 3" Kit with UCA's $269.00....
Alignment $59.00
Camber Bolts $64.00
Very busted up fingures $$$$

Also my truck is sitting at 41 1/8" front
40 1/8" rear with the 1" blocks..

I also did the Pinch Weld Mod so i have plenty of room..
As far as the tires go i can feel that there is 22/32nds of tread rolling but after 5mph it goes away so i love them and hoping to take them out and see what they can do !!!! And the ride seems to be nice, I am planning on getting 2" blocks to level it out so i will need new shocks anyways...

Looks sharp man! I like the stance.

Thanks Bro....

That looks awsome! I might have to go that route instead of the mini lift and 35's. That looks ALOT taller than a mini lift (which it is, but it just looks alot higher). Did you get any vibration in the rear from the blocks? I can't believe how cheap the RC lift is too. Did you just get it from RC or did you find it somewhere else for even less?

Looks good man. I figure since your T is an 08 thats why you had to grind down the CB. I'm going to be installing the RC kit with Bilstein 5100s set to 1" lift (4" total front lift) and a 1 1/2" block in the rear. I figure I should be dead even or have very slight forward rake. I hope I get your results. Your T looks really nice man. Not too high, not too low.

What was the part number for the bump stops? Thanks..!!

I got the kit from a ebay seller because they were located in UT and i figured they would get here faster but it turns out that the place i bought them from just ships them straight from RC in TN so i was kinda pissed. I would just buy them from RC if i had to do it again. Yeah i really like the way its sitting but i would like to burn those Rancho's they suck A$$. What pressure should i be running my tires at ?

contenderv07 · 09-26-2009, 04:19 PM

wow, nice work looks great. Now you have me rethinking saving for the PC 6 inch lift

TAFOYA'STITAN · 09-26-2009, 05:36 PM

try rear add a leafs

jc450r · 09-26-2009, 06:00 PM

Looks good

GAtitan67 · 09-26-2009, 06:56 PM

Them Kuhmo's look smaller than 35's. I got that same tire and haven't put them on yet, I was going with the PC 6". Makes me wonder.....

**adkl1** · 09-26-2009, 07:33 PM

They are 34.8" tall but only like 11" wide on our stock rims...

USN HM 350Z · 09-26-2009, 08:00 PM

OP, that looks great. Nice set up

I may do this same thing, an add a leafs in the rear. That should give me 8 inches.

They still look good, I was planning on running them on my stock rims for a little while.. If they would make the Pitbull Rockers radial in a 35X12.5R18 I'd pick them up in a heart beat and trade off my Khumos

**adkl1** · 09-26-2009, 08:37 PM

Pitbull Rockers are some crazy tires.... The Bumpstops are made by Energy Suspension part # 9.9101GC . My local AutoZone stocks them on there shelves.

How are those Kuhmos in the road noise dept.?
