Can’t wait to see the new suspension set up!! I’m surprised a long travel kit hasn’t been made before!! But this axel swap is going to awesome and definitely improve the off road experience!!

[@wk2hawk]

Original plan was a LT but that still required a solid axel in the rear and we couldn’t quite figure out all the electronics with just swapping one axel. SAS will be a game changer for real

[@MrIrieviking]

@@wk2hawk I’m going over scenarios in my head since mine will be paid off soon. I don’t want to just put on a bought 2.5” kit with no travel and also am thinking of swapping an LS or LT motor or Go Hemi. Did you go with axels out of a Ram?

@@MrIrieviking axels are off of a 2010 f250. Dana 60 front and sterling 10.5 rear.

Sick build! I love this thing. I had a 2011 WK2 for about 10 years. Such a great rig. Really cool seeing it taken to a whole other level.

[@wk2hawk]

Really appreciate it 🙌 follow along to see our solid axel conversion that we’re undertaking

I see you cut the stock flares off. Are you running any type of fender liner?

[@wk2hawk]

Originally I trimmed them back quite a bit but ultimately thanks to all of our trips and the larger tires there’s not a fender liner left on this thing. I plan on spraying them with some time of bed liner but we’ll see when this next phase is done what we come up with.

[@bryanmaldonado9942]

Are you running spacers on your wheels?

[@wk2hawk]

Nope it’s the -39 offset on the KMC’s

[@fahdabdulaziz5067]

Does it still have the air suspension?

[@wk2hawk]

It did but we’re in the process of a solid axel swap. Stay tuned to see the process
