ProComps, Fabtech, and Ranchos installed!

[CO Hummer]

Just got the New Tires, the new style Procomps MTs in 37". Also put on Rancho 9000s and Fabtech HD Tie Rods. Goodbye 'stock' status. :(

[CO Hummer]

I went with these over the BFG MTs because of the new sidewall pattern and siping on the center lugs.

I'm getting a little rubbing on the frame and sway bar. I don't think it's much to worry about.

LOOKS GREAT! Those tires have some depth to those lugs, damn.

How much room to hitting your garage now? What is the exact height of your garage?

I have about 1" of clearance. I have the antenna stuck through the two Gobi bars and the tip sticks out just above the high part of the rack. It actually touches the weather stripping that hangs from the top beam. If I have two inches of snow in my driveway I won't be able to get it.

I just measured the garage door. It's exactly 83" from the floor to the lowest hanging trim.

[AtlantaH]

how are they as far as road noise? i have the nitto mud grapplers and its getting close to time for some new tires. I want an aggressive look, but i can do without the noise!

:confused:

I have 82 3/4" to that rubber flap/ 83 1/4" to the frame. I only have 1.25" until hitting the frame now with the 35's and Gobi rack. hhhmmmmmm.

Oh, I forgot to mention that. The road noise is not bad at all. The are little louder that the BFT ATs, but I was blown away by how quite they are, given size of the lugs. I had read quite a bit about them prior to buying and the consistent remarks were that these tires are nice on pavement. It's true. I think the center siping has a lot to do with that, allows the tire give a bit.

[HummBebe]

I love the new look CO. And the Yellow shock boots are cool too! Where did you get them?

Congratulations on some great choices.

[CO Hummer]

I never even thought about putting yellow boots on. The kid that checked my car in just said "hey, what color boots do you want on there". I said "yellow", of course. :D Later he told me that they normally charge a few bucks for putting on boots other that the stock red ones, but he did it for free. 4wheelparts, Denver is a GREAT shop.

[KenP]

I heard your neighborhood intalled new signage in light of your new improvements.

After you get those yellow wheels be sure to center your rainbow sticker in your rear window.:twak: :giggling:

[DennisAJC]

Sweet mods CO. Looks meaner with those agressive tires. Almost time for a new set for me too. Those ProComps look awsome.

[ROX]

:beerchug: Looks Great! Gonna try it out on the Rubi?:dancingbanana:

[Sugardaddy]

Beautiful man.

[Longhorn]

I like those! The siping will help in the snow.

[DDWH]

CO, how do those roll at freeway speeds(65-95)?

[md_sailor]

Does anyone elses Front RS9000's have Rigid boots? the Boot on Mine is attached at the top and the bottom simply moves up and down over the shock body very similar to the stock one. I'm only asking because I just saw this new install and they have the soft rubber boot? Do I have the Wrong Shock or were they changed in the recent past?

All the new front shocks have the rigis boot. I think they cut CO HUMMERS off so they could install the yellow booties.

[md_sailor]

Thanks....:D

[CO Hummer]

They run like a champ up to 75mph. Haven't taken them above that yet. Noise is not a problem.

Yep, Custom booties. They ask me to autograph the old ones and they mounted them on the wall in their Hall of Fame section of the store.

Damn, i want to drive on your freeways :D

So we wheeled today and I FINALLY got a chance to give the new mods a test.

The tires are GREAT! I love 'em. They walked up everything today with very little spin.

I'm not sure how much credit to give the tires vs. new Rancho shocks vs. the new steering stabilzer. But I gotta say that I was blown away by how much better my rig rides offroad. unbelievable.

The steering stablizer in an ABSOLUTE must for anyone that wheels. You can really feel that thing dampen that previous whipping motion I used to have. I'd say my steering was 10x smoother that it was before, and that was when I had smaller tires (35s). No more death grip on the wheel required. :cool:

I'm finally sold that good shocks make a difference. When I drop off a rock or a ledge I no longer get those 3-4 neck whipping aftershocks. Smooth, plush, and minimal rebound. I will never wheel on stock shocks again, ever.

37's are where it's at. There was some rubbing in the front, but it was so minimal I couldn't tell while on the trail and we did a lot of two-point-turn switchbacks today.

I'm not counting wheel spin when you're sitting on your rock rails.

But then again, it's probably hard to tell when you sitting on your la-z-boi. Try again, web-wheeler. :OWNED: :D

BTW, can't wait for the in-house tech to arrive Monday. We're going to take care of this wobbly front end.:jump:
