Great looking truck do the rear shocks limit travel

Nice write-up and good build. Which tires are you running?

Thanks! I am really looking forward to getting the ARB bumper and winch on there.

Tires are Wildcountry XTX Sport 285-70-17s.

Yes. They will limit down travel slightly. Its not an issue on the road but will ne an issue on a trail. I am looking at Billstein 5165s but need to take some measurements first and need to get a handle on valving.

Wheelers also sells some 5100s that are used with a 4 inch lift (RCD) that are 80$ each. I just found it hard to buy the Allpro fox remote resi shocks at $280 each. Too expensive.

Here are some pics of the flex with the OME nitrochargrs:

I have the 5100 that have 10" of travel and very happy with them. I did have to set my bump stops they are just a little long, but no problems on my last trip.

Thats good news. I take it you have the Allpro Expo pack as well? I know you gave me positive feedback on my other "For Sale" post. I have no problem getting a longer bumpstop.

Another option I am looking into is extending the shaft on my Nitrochargers - I found a bolt extender over at Tacoma Screw (amazing bolt supply store that is located here in Seattle).

Are these the shocks you are talking about? (The B-110s at the bottom): http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/05uptacoadjbils.htm

I was also looking at the 5165s which sell for around 160$ each - which is half the price of the Fox setup Allpro is selling.

Thanks for the feedback!

I believe I have the b110 and I picked them up from Downsouth motor sports. I have the ubolt flip kit also and I picked up some EVS foam bump stops. I purchased a 4" long set and cut them down just before my shocks bottom out, they are mounted off the frame.

Are you able to use the factory TPMS units with the Mojave teflons?

Are you able to use the factory TPMS units with the Mojave teflons?

Good question. They are SUPPOSEDLY compatible. The local Les Schwab tire shop where I got the tires annd wheels told me yhey would work but that I had to go to the dealer to have them reset
So the stock tpms were mounted but I have not been to the dealer for the past 2.5 years since I got the wheels and tires. So the orange tire pressure light is still on on the dash. Oh well.

So the answer is yes they will work but you are better off having the tire and tpms units mounted at the dealer to make sure they are mounted correctly and calibrated to function correctly.

My suggestion is buy tires and wheels online and have the dealer yank tpms from stock wheels and mount in new wheels and then mount tires. May cost a little more but this is a gurantee it will work.....if you care about the tpms working. I don't have an outo traction system so if it does not work it does not affect my driveline...
just an annoying orange light. With the 33s you can tell quickly if you have a low tire plus I air down off road and darn ligjt would flash anyway.

Wow tire looks surprising close to revo's. Any report on them? Especially in ice/snow?
