Long Travel BS Thread

morning adam



wtf? V

 

morning buddy!!

 

AP standards have a total travel of ~12" and you can carry a load in the bed right? LT have a total travel of ~18" and any significant weight in the bed makes the rear end sit pretty low. I dont think anyone knows the spring rates of either set but that would tell me that LT leafs are much softer rate.

 

What about the 50t pack? It's designed for LT but can handle weight... IIRC.

 

True but your still blowing through 8-10" of travel on a 50t pack just to get to ride height. The SOA packs only have 10-12" total. Exact spring rates on a leaf spring are too complicated for me, Im just saying in general that would mean an SUA pack is "softer" than an SOA pack

 

or the f55s which are designed for a 1in lift

and pretty much no second gen ever haha.

 

Thanks guys. So not that it matters to me anymore since I already have the standards, but for going somewhat fast the standard leafs are better than the expos.

 

depends on valving of the shocks you run with the leaf pack. Zero Presence has All Pro Expos and apparently he's super fast.

 

im speechless on this one

 

how did i know you would say something about it.....

 

but he's speechless...

 

I kinda like em

 

I'll try to get some shots of them in Glamis. I havent seen them in person yet, and those pics look like camera phone pics. They do seem to fit the lines pretty well though, better than my Fiberwerx glass.

 

Its kinda hard to judge unpainted glass, I want to see a set color matched

 

they look like they match the tt bedsides well.... always good to have another option.

 

That's what I was thinking. If the TT Bedsides are your style you'll probably like these.

 

anyone know who makes these?

 

Looks like Richer Racing Shackles.

 

Kibble tech those are blakes
