'24 Cactus Gray Build

[RDRahn]

Hey everyone, just wanted to share the "build" so far -- if you can call it that. Not much done yet but got a good starting point after reading up on everyones builds while I waited for my truck.

Got a '24 XL in Cactus Grey new from the dealer, got the spray in bedliner (cause Ontario, Canada weather), hard rollup bed cover, and the 4k tow package cause upgraded coolers + gear ratios why not.

Put about 1300km on it so far (800mi in freedom units)

Got the Silvers coilovers in the Lawrence Giles spec (standard version NOT the extreme low) with the swift spring upgrade. Would 100% recommend them as they were great to deal with and the customer service was on point with going over the order and answering any questions.

Front is maybe an 1.5" - 2.0" or so from as low as it can go, probably going to raise it a bit when I get some larger rims -- I'll get an exact measurement when I have a chance -- front shocks are set as stiff as they can go right now. At this current height on stock tires + rims it does rub the fender liners ever so slightly at full lock and under hard cornering. Camber plates were set at basically +-0° maybe a few millimetres past +-0° into the negative range. At this height and camber setup the fronts are a bit negative naturally with the drop, but do align nicely with the top of the fender so it won't turn my fenders into bacon under compression. bottom of the tire pokes out a bit but it's a respectful amount for the fitment.

Rear is as low as it can go on the standard silvers coilovers -- definitely needs to be fine tuned for preload as it knocks a bit more than I'd like, rear dampers are set at about half (12 clicks from fully either direction.) Nothing is rubbing or touching on the rear from what I've seen so far. Decent clearance from the tire and that stupid bulge on the drivers side rear fender liner thanks to Fords poor fuel tank routing. Getting rear camber back closer to +-0° should help with any clearance problems if any come up with the wider and larger rims.

Going to drive it for a week or so and re-check alignment and everything else

(my homies golf R that did the coilover install with me (I held the flashlight lol) -- gotta show him love) sorry for the edited photos can't have boring photos idk

Otherwise all stock for now until the wheels come in (Konig Countergrams in 19 x 8.5)

If anyone has any suggestions for rear under seat subs, and rear camber arms let me know! -- I know there was one guy on here who made some but I can't find any messaging info on his page.

In terms of plans we'll do some basics until people really push the stock transmission to see what it can safely hold. This is my daily so I kinda can't blow it up.

I'd like to get the side skirts / rockers color matched over the summer if I find a good paint shop, install my clear front marker lights, aFe exhaust, cross my fingers and hope some clear taillights get made from Klearz, and maybe cobb tune -- just gotta see how lenient my local dealers will be if I have any warranty issues. One thing at a time though since I haven't figured out the infinite money glitch yet...

Feedback is always welcomed
(gotta throw one more pic in just cause it looked good)
