Looks great!

Question - did you extend your 3rd brake light up so that it is visible above your spare tire?

I'm able to raise my brake light up when I do not use a relo bracket, but once I put the relo bracket on, there is not enough wire to allow the brake light to extend up. And I believe your RC relo bracket lifts higher than the SmittyBilt bracket I was using.

More pics. No rubbing yet. I have not had a tire off the ground so time will tell. This is with 2" bumpstop extensions front and rear. I also have Timbren progressive bumpstops in the rear to reduce sag when towing. I am sure this is why I am not rubbing in the rear.

I did raise the light. You have to pull the heat shrink off the back of the grommet so you can pull more wire through from inside the tailgate.

Awesome - any chance you have any photos of what this look like to help me visualize it? Do you still have the seal up against the tailgate?


The photos look great! Checking out the progressive bumps you mentioned, that sounds nice - does that help avoid harsh bottoming out?

Tire carrier:

The Timbren SES bumpstops are nothing more than a factory replacement that is a little longer and a little firmer. It still collapses but it will also support some weight. They help with sag and control when I tow.

Eli,

How are you liking your Falcon's? 2.1 if i recall. I want to firm up just a tad but don't want harsh. I'm also thinking of skipping the 2.1 and going to 3.1 but need to call them. I'd like the extra travel but not if it comes with harshness (if that makes sense).

 

[TJEli]

I am loving my Falcons. They are not harsh at all. Slightly firmer with much more control.

Perfect and just what I'm looking for - thanks for the quick reply.

What PSI are you running? It looks great!

Right now I am at 29. I may need to go a touch lower but I am waiting until I put a few miles on them.

How does it pull your boat? I’m wanting to do basically the same setup and I have a small duck boat and a UTV that I will be pulling almost every day during the season.

We haul our RZR around and it does amazingly well. Won't really find 7th or 8th very often, but hums right along in 6th with no issues.

 

[TennesseePA]

That’s good to see! Your RZR is smaller that my Ranger ,Crew but your trailer is bigger so it should be about the same weight. Thanks for the reply.

It pulls my 20' pontoon just fine. I have not pulled my fishing boat with the 37s yet. My boat weighs just under 5K lbs.
