Long Travel BS Thread

Are those 10s? Seems pricey.

 

How many 8" 3.0 3 tube bypasses you seen for sale less than $900?

 

X2

I paid alot more (maybe more than double i try to forget) for my 3.0 x 12 5 tubes.

 

Ricor are supposed to be pretty cool shocks. There is valving in the bypass.tubes.

On another not, I'm confused on that truck, it has 2nd gen spindles but is definitely not a 2nd gen frame. LOL

 

If it was 1st gen it would have the adapter in place of the balljoint

 

look at the directions of the headers and where the steering is placed. its not a second gen..

 

I know this, I am well aware of the differences between generations. Otherwise I wouldn't have commented on the difference in spindle

 

Not sure what you mean, looks the same as mine

 

X2 unless they just drilled the spindle out. But ya, that adapter is easy to spot.

 

didn't really pay attention. didn't see they were 3.0s. I just never heard of them before.

 

Not arguing but I do not get what you guys are talking about. That looks like the same type of slug adapter mine has

 

They look like 2nd gen spindles to me

The Uniball adapter is very different. The Gen II tapers into the spindle as the stock arm has the Ball joint in it. With the Gen I's, the Ball joint is pretty much in the spindle, hence that big puck looking adapter that seat's into the spindle.

 

I would say 1st gen

2nd gen


1st gen


Spindles in question

 

You can tell by the bump below the bend its a 1st gen spindle

 

im having some problems trying to put the bash plates and ubolts back on....the spring perches dont line up with the leaf pack...there is the center bolt on the leaf pack that needs to align with the spring perch and allow it to fit....i cant get them to align..ive tried liften the axle from every which way..nothing...any tips?

 

IIRC, you need to compress the shock or let the nitro out and recharge.

 

been trying to compress it but my jack isnt able to compress it enough im guessing. think letting the nitro out would just be easier?
