Sorry, been away for a while. We ended up going with 1 1/2" stock steel, 4" long as a lift kit. We had the blocks drilled for pins and bolt holes for alignment. We bought new, bigger U-bolts from Eaton Springs and installed them. It worked great! Then we did another using 1 1/2" square tubing. It worked great also. Thank you for the reply and yes I did get it. Like I said, been off the forum for a while. Again, thanks!
Epic, I would like to know if you have any clearance issues with your 5er and the bed of your truck. You know I use the B&W like you, but my camping friend has a Reese with a Sidewinder and has very low clearance. By chance is your toyhauler lifted any? Tim has a '06 Harley F250 4x4 and a Raptor and has very poor clearance. If not, have you ever seen a toyhauler with a lift on it? If so, do you know where they got it? His springs already sit on the top of the axles. He needs to raise his hitch but know we are concerned about weight distribution between his axle and keeping it level. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Monty
Great video post on the door molding. Do you have any recommendations for how to upgraded the edge molding at the bottom of each door? I've noticed that I have a small space between the rubber and the frame when the door is closed and I keep getting dirt thrown up into the door well when driving off road.
When I installed mine, all I did was remove the grille and headlights. I justposted a video of how to remove the grille. Four bolts on each headlight assembly and you have everything taken apart that needs to be.
The wire routing is a little tricky. After getting everything plugged in right, I wrapped everything in split-plastic conduit and routed it behind the upper cross-member in front of the radiators. I was careful to wiretie everything inside it so no thing would come in contact with the hot radiators.
Just wondering if you did your HID install yourself. I just got my kit and started looking at the area behind the headlights. I see a couple of areas that look promising, but hack if I can figure out how to get access without pulling the wheel liner completely out. How did you get in there?
