HOT! Sandblast TRX Build W/ Mazzulla Offroad Suspension and King Shocks

[Mazzulla Offroad]

Would there be any drawbacks to running Kings in the front only until the 3.5" internals come out?
Also, I'm leveled on 37s right now. However, I'd prefer a couple inches of lift over stock, since I have a lot of clearance issues on the trail.
Any input is greatly appreciated! Looking to pull the trigger on front Kings asap as I have a line on some in stock.

Great question. It isn't something that we have had requested of us yet. I can't imagine there would be any issues. That said, I don't know how the TRX calibrates rear shocks if the front is not getting any signal. It may default to a medium or stiff setting.

As for the lift, we setup the front Kings at around 1.5" above stock which makes it exactly level. You can continue to add ride height but want to be conscious of preload on the spring. What are you hitting on the trail?

Thanks for the quick response and the info. Good to know where to set the fronts.
Hopefully there wouldn't be any issue only running fronts until you guys have the rears available.

What's your current price and lead time on fronts only (#33700-391A I believe?)
Any luck getting answers from King regarding the rear 3.5" internals?

I've been rubbing my sliders, rear and front bumpers.

Had to share this build completed by SoCal SuperTrucks using Mazzulla Offroad Billet Upper Control Arms, Rear Trailing Arms, and King Shocks. Here are a few pics as well as a link to our instagram to see a video of the details on this beautiful truck.

Please reach out if you have any questions or want to get your truck set up to take on anything like this one!

Suspension looks great. I have a sandblast, why do you have to do this to me.

Just about to get wheels and tires, was going to do 20's with 35.4" tires, now im not so sure.

We're trying to keep all the sets together because of how challenging it has been to get shocks at all. I have a couple sets on order right now and should have an update on when the rear IBPs will be available as well as confirming the pricing will be the same. The shocks retail for $4,950. We have package options for the forum as well. I'll DM you to discuss what exact setup is best for you.

If you're rubbing on all the outside spots of the truck like that, ride height may not solve your issue as the truck will still articulate to the same end point which is probably where you end up rubbing. It will help if you're just rubbing on approach/departure but new bumpers will likely help the most for the front and rear. Bigger tires will help too as your articulated heigh will be higher and that will require additional cutting/fabrication to fit.

As for the bumpers, we have been asked by several forum members about whether or not we were developing any. We weren't planning on it originally but we are throwing together a few designs to see if it makes sense to move forward. Once we are farther into the development cycle, I'll likely post a poll for interest and/or group buy potentially.

Thank you! Congrats on the sandblast and I'm happy to contribute to the endless pursuit to make the TRX even more special!

We are big fans of running a smaller wheel with the big tire. You get better offroad performance and ride quality because of the additional sidewall. Highly recommend 18's with 37s.

Good to know. Ill keep an eye out for the DM, thanks!

Are you developing a lower control arm?

Are you developing a lower control arm?

We aren’t currently as we are in the middle of moving into our brand new shop we built. We can expect new development projects to pick up in the coming months.

If we were, would you be interested in a stock replacement with a bump or bypass?

Bypass on a stock arm.
Can tune a bump zone into the bypass!!

How many “back rubs” do I need to complete on the streets now…

Couple of other fabricators have made a bump pad and/or limit strap that mounts around the stock lower arm in raptors. Haven’t explored this option yet for the TRX but may be the quickest option
