Full Billet Suspension Build Coming!!!!!!!!

[BIGDJE]

I had a 2019 raptor that full off road build. I had over 100K into that truck plus the of the truck yes about 180K

I got my cyber beast last Friday, and already have plans to make it off-roading beast. I am working with the #1 offroad company in the world to make a full billet suspension. Uppers, lowers, spindle, tie rods, etc.... They will be scanning all the stock parts this week. Plan is a 3in lift and redesign some of the stock parts as they are not the best for off-roading. Will be working directly with fox shocks as well on this build. Plan is to run at min 38s as my raptor and hummer ran and 39s or 40s if possible. This will take some time but starting the thread and will post any updates along the way.

unplugged is the only company that I know of with plans on a suspension kit and they have no eta or when it will come out. I called them and they cant even tell me what are the 26 parts they are using. So I dont belive they really have anything coming out this year. They also have zero off road experience with tesla or any other car.

I am going with the experts that have won many baja races and work directly with ford on their raptors and broncos for professional off roading.

Stay Tuned!!!!

Will be following. I love crazy builds.

With those monster tires your CT is going to be an electron sucking machine

awesome, can't wait to see it!

not really I had 38s on my hummer ev did not really notice any diff then the stock 35s

Would love to see this…seen 37s on 18 rims, but suspension is maxed. What’s new?

Awesome! Can’t wait to see the updates! Anything beyond 37’s will require major frame and body modification. Even 37’s will rub and try to tear off the bumper.

We also have a two and 4 inch lift kit in development now, probably available within a month.

And our armor package is coming along nicely. Rear bumper is done, front and rear motor plates along with battery plates in final approval process. I don’t know why we did front bumper last…

And our widebody sport truck fenders will look great on an off-road truck.

Any plan for off-road fenders? Very excited to give you my money ?

We think they look OEM and will transfer from Sport truck to off road based on ride height and rims/tires.

Good luck! Will be following...

I don't think you will be disapointed.
This looks far easier than it should.

Waiting impatiently now. LoL

OP let’s hear any updates!? I’m currently in the process of building my own prerunner setup currently gonna run the mountain pass performance UCA’s and upgraded tierods but eagerly awaiting a company to make a true LT kit!

Similar experience. I run 37" Mickey's (MTZ) on my Bronco and had the same but BFG's on my SVT Raptor before selling it not long ago and didn't notice a difference really over stock 35" that came with both. At least not enough to care.

On my cybertruck I junked the factory A/T's at around 18-20k and put on 35" Mickeys (EXP's) w/1.5 spacers and the small suspension lift linkage things. I don't run around with the tire frisbee's on it either - point being I still don't notice enough in range loss to care. 370wh/m or 450wh/m or 550wh/m....same crap to me either way LOL. Just don't strand my ass in the sticks without any beer to drink is all I care about. I bought the truck because it is the first one I literally can not beat up. It is crazy how much I have put it through, including being kicked by 100 rednecks in boots at sale barn on last cattle sell lol. It just keeps going and going.

Really interested in the billet setup and the larger rubber you can squeeze under. I really want 37"s at least but I don't want to shave off that bolt arm sticking down to do it until I replace suspension or 50k warranty runs out in case I break something lol.

Yep, the Cybertruck really does make it easier to navigate the kind of terrain that traditional pickups struggle with, even ones modified for off-road use.

Two of the Cybertrucks secret weapons are the four-wheel steering and steer-by-wire. The synergy of these two features benefits wheel positioning on the terrain, because the rear wheels more closely follow the front wheels at slow speeds and the high-ratio steering makes it easier to snake a circuitous route without having to "hand-over-hand" it quickly.

In this example, the driver should have snaked to the viewer's left (towards the drone operator) about half-way of the hill. The idea is to pick the path that keeps the tires most level from side to side and reduces possible bottoming potential. Setting yourself at the right angle for the more difficult parts of the trail can really smooth the ride and reduce loss of traction while reducing the ground clearance needed to navigate that section of trail.

Picking optimal lines is an art that requires visualization of current and future tire positioning and also the ability to "see" the terrain in front of you, relative to level. You will know you picked the perfect line when it looks difficult but the truck traverses it cleanly and smoothly. The best line is seldom the one with the least steering input. Snaking while using the full trail to set you up with better angles pays big dividends in many challenging situations. This is somewhat true in legacy trucks too, but it requires more work and the dividends are not nearly as beneficial because the rear wheels don't follow the path of the front wheels as closely when doing pronounced snaking.

Another way to say this: trucks without all-wheel steering cannot "snake" as well on irregular terrain. The Cybertruck, with the precise and immediate control of the torque delivered, combined with the ease and effectiveness of "snaking" can put legacy trucks to shame on terrain like this. The lack of chassis flex does limit the amount of effective articulation, but the locking differentials minimize the impact of lifting wheels off the ground.

In my defense, it was my first time on the trail. Everyone was videoing me waiting for failure and I was also the drone pilot. ROFL

I would also argue the 360 camera view is a lifesaver in the cybertruck. Its front view is terrible any time it is pointing up.

The steer by wire/rear steer are also an initial challenge if you are used to traditional truck offroading. It also makes it deceivingly easy for a long heavy truck to make it up smaller trails.

The commentary on some of their videos is pretty entertaining.
