I believe he gained no more than 1.5 from his previous set up. I need to get to the dealership and take some measurements so I have a more accurate understand of the resulting lift.
2020 that I picked up October 30th of 2019, 105,000 miles on it including racing in Baja MX. Had cam issues a few times and blew my rear in Baja (102,000 miles on that D44 4.56 ring gear...and smashing whoops at 60 mph. Been superchagred with Magnuson since 60k miles. Manual trans, and I love it!
I am running the fox IFP bumps, and an NOT using any bump spacer on the axle side.
For sway bar I went the thickest in the rear and softest in the front.
Good morning everyone! I am happy to announce that ordering of the springs is now open!

For those within 20 miles of 90802 you should see an option for "Will Call" and/or "FedEx" - If you would like to meet up or have me personally deliver...
Ah, then bank 1. Thanks for the clarification.
The replacement engine was a complete engine from dealership.
This time I saved the cam and 2 of the rockers/followers. When staring at the followers I can see how the spring loaded pin has become marked up where the high lift lobe rests on it...
Welp, I've officially consumed my 3rd intake cam along with cam followers. All 3 instances have been the passenger side, bank 2.
First was at 58k and covered under warranty.
Then I added the Magnuson Supercharger and my 2nd instance happened at 75k. I did a new motor and put the supercharger...
here's a recent clip of the truck doing 60 in Landers at the famous Giant Rock -
I have some other videos that cover parts of the race we completed back in April. Short story is we beat Raptors in the whoops, then blew the rear ring gear. So we won day 1, and finished the rest in the middle...
The shocks are currently Inco 718 which is an aerospace superalloy, very strong and very hard. It is also highly corrosive resistant, in fact you wouldn't need to do anything to the ID bore. I am looking at making them out of 17-4 PH1025 as that is significantly easier to hone the final ID and...
Shocks right now are looking to be 19.25in compresses and 32.25in extended - 13in stroke. I'm trying to get this to be 18.75in compressed and 31.75in extended - still 13in stroke, but make's it more compact which is great for the front end. (Rear doesn't really care).
There is some mixed...
I am considering offering them as a fully assembled shock or as an upgrade, but the upgrade only works if you are running Fox's -076 shocks in the rear (2.5 DSC). I'm roughly 6 months out from having that figured out as the next development print is currently being designed and wont start...
They will be true 3.0 sized (2.75in piston) and have at least 8 general bypass zones which will allow for easier tuning of the shim stack. I'm working on a new piston design that also allows for a smaller packaing while stil having 13-14in of shaft travel. The first set I tested paired perfectly...
Quick update, webiste has launched, BUT, there are bugs with the shipping API and it seems to be possibly connected to the CloudStrike issue. Feel free to take a look in the meantime - https://fundamentalmotorsports.com/
I still need to complete the blog/write up on the NORRA 1000 and where we...
leased my JT in October of 2019 (2020 model sport - non S) for $250/month with my trade in of $7k, purchased it out of the lease with a buyout price of 24k. Very happy i picked it up when I did
Good afternoon everyone, I had a follow up call with production this morning and right now I'm expecting to have 25 sets in my hands in Long Beach around August 8. This is longer than expected, and due to additional first batch quality checks the supplier is performing. They are also looking to...
Here's the meetup and camping area for Saturday the 6th. I'm not sure what time things will get going, but I suspect people up and active by 8am

If people are local to Long Beach and reasonable distance to Long Beach I plan to make local deliveries where possible or arrange for pick up.
Jeeps n Java happens on the 1st Saturday of each month. There is a SoCal Gladiators group on FB and Instagram where they post the locations and times as...
Website is nearing completion, I just need to provide some updated photos of how the truck sits and looks with the springs. GoDaddy has done a pretty nice job with the initial draft of the site, I have a call with them on Wednesday to go over my notes.
I have a call Monday with the spring...
