Re: Noob's 2013 Power Wagon Build
I dont think it was covered (or maybe i missed it) but did you have to get longer control arms to recenter the axle as others have mentioned when using the 2" level kit vs 1" kits? I really want to level mine but have limited funds and don't want to have to purchase longer control arms right now. Sorry if i missed it

Re: Noob's 2013 Power Wagon Build
You don't need to with the stock tires. I haven't had any issues. If you do 35's or 37's you'll want to though.2011TXPowerWagon wrote:I dont think it was covered (or maybe i missed it) but did you have to get longer control arms to recenter the axle as others have mentioned when using the 2" level kit vs 1" kits?

Re: Noob's 2013 Power Wagon Build
Nice looking bumper. Are you gonna paint the clevis's black, white, or just leave em silver ? Mine are black but i have been debating whether to try red (truck color) or not.

Re: Noob's 2013 Power Wagon Build
I debated whether or not to paint them, but since I plan to use them for their intended purpose, I wasn't sure if painting them was a good idea. I think I'll leave them the way they are for now ... Maybe in the future I'll paint them, but I'm not sure yet. Thanks for the compliment ... The old girl's coming together quite nicely.TwinStick wrote:Nice looking bumper.

Re: Noob's 2013 Power Wagon Build
You seem to have a few extra donuts there. Perhaps an overzealous tire shop employee just tossed them out and wasn't counting? they look sweet.

Something about that just makes it look tough, just the right amount of white and black.
