Long Travel BS Thread

i think youll be happy with the dmz kit. i rode in krishs truck and was really impressed with it.

also im glad im not the only one wanting to run 37s either haha.

 

I do a lot of rock crawling. Originally I wanted to SAC a Dana 60 up front with a 14 bolt in the rear and run 40's or bigger and then I found the desert/dunes stuff and loved it too so I'm splitting down the middle between the two. haha

 

I want to run LT with 37's, in the rocks as well. Hopefully when the time comes around, I can afford it.

My CVs are going to hate me.

 

King of Hammers!

 

I want to get the Solo Motorsports front LT kit. Hopefully those CV's can hold up well to 37's in the rocks.

 

Go all in with RCVs...

 

hey sorry i'm still at work. its a 2wd, so it wouldn't work? bummmer... ill post pictures of my fox 2.0 i pulled off today when im off... time to ditch my current front "kit" needless to say

 

any of you guys run Hankook DynaPro ATM tires? I was thinking about picking up a set and moving away from my BFG mud terrains

 

Check out the Toyo AT II's....

 

Check out their mud terrains. Looovvvedd those tires. Will be picking up another set after my current tires wear out.

 

I'm with these guys, the Toyos are great tires, but BFG has never failed me either both on and off road. But the Toyos tend to balace.better and wear more even

 

Yup! Cheaper than BFG too. But spot on, we have had a few that have not required any weights. Which is crazy. Just show's how good the production process on them is.

 

X2 on those MT's. I had 3 sets back to back. Those tires were great in all conditions. I'm thinking about going back to em as well.

 

I know the price point on them is what's selling you...but I have never heard anything good about them offroad. If you are going for a AT tire go with the BFG, Toyo, or General AT2 (which I'm going with next).

 

X2 I loved my Hankook MTs

 

My Hankooks are holding up great in the AZ heat! Working out really well for me.

 

as promised... so should i:
a) buy a new piston, wear ring and shaft, put it back together and run it till i find a new front kit
b) save the money i would spend fixing it, take the valving from the broken one and run a flutter stack or some kind of combination valving and one shock at each front corner until i get a new kit (both shocks at each corner are valved different... one with quick springy rebound and a light compression, and the other with harder compression and slow rebound... the shaft that bent was on one of the stiffer ones)

Luckily the inside of the shock body isn't scratched and all the seals seem okay, but I'm really ready to ditch torsions and balljoints... what to do?

EDIT: nice, just found a pretty solid little dent in the shock body about 1/3 of the way up, fuck. looks like a shock a corner it is then. thanks though!

 

Is that a 2.0 or 2.5 shock? Id say ditch it and go coilover.

 

Its a 2.0. I agree, just having trouble finding a used tc kit or something comparable around that price

 

Ron, take a look at Mickey Thompson, MTZ's or even ATZ's I have the ATZ's priced right and work very very well, mileage rating over 50K
