Long Travel BS Thread

You can only run a 14" smoothbody/bypass shock. There are better sua kits out there IMO. The Dmz kit is around the same price. A little more fab work needed but worth it IMO

 

I have the BAMF shock kit I was planning on using 12"...

 

With that shock tower and a 12" shock you will run into issues with the shock bottoming out, therefore taking away the advantage of SUA

 

Do you just not want to cut into the bed? You can use mid travel leaf springs with 12s.

 

well, im not sure what to do now lol, I have AP standards right now. should i keep those and do a shackle flip or somthing with 12" kings. "im neeeww I dont know what to do!"

 

I wasnt planning on it, also trying not to spend a whole lot but thats not possible as I found out shortly after joing this site.

 

Do you plan on going long travel in the front? It will cost around 5k with shocks, the kit, fenders, a bumper ect.

 

that I do. I know its expensive. but thats not going to be any time soon. plans was to go MT and leave it like that. what would be a good MT setup in the rear lol know im posting in wrong thread....cool

 

12" 2.0's and your all pro springs is mid travel, will have lots of droop

 

X2..

great kit but designed for crawling

 

well I do thank you gentle men for the help. sorry for being a school girl noob and jacking up the LT thread.

 

Thats what it's here for!

 

you right, Im sure Ill be LT one day. I do like that tundra man

 

2k Pages For The LT!!

 

I know there is suppose to be an angle when a shock is mounted ... Or does it matter? Mounting up those foa 14' 2.5 in the next few days I'm the rear of my truck

 

the more vertical the shock, the more effective it will be a dampening. But if you angle it you can get more travel out of a smaller shock.

So if you angle it forward a bit, you should be able to get around 15-16'' with those 14'' shocks.

if you had 16s..should be able to get around 17-18 at the right angle.

But you'll have to valve them a bit stiffer for them to be as effective at dampening.

 

Awesome thanks man!

 

The problem is, that the defined kit wont cycle more than 14" of travel.

 

ah see i didn't know what kit he was talking about..figured it was just a custom mini bed cage.

 

Gotcha yeah, thats why Krish and Lembowski and SpecialK all switched from it
