Long Travel BS Thread

I'm subd to the thread now thanks man if I end up going that route it's going to be similar to that to maximize performance out of the truck

 

Dont mean this in a asshole way, but don't be he a hurry to make a bad decision because of a good deal. Plan out what you want for sure and browse the offoad classifieds. I got my 2.5 16" three tubes for $700 and my 2.0 8" three tubes for $550. Way more shock then those smoothies. Plus they are too big. I started with a hoop under the bed with 12s and pulled thirteen inches of travel. A month later I cut it out and went through the bed with that bolt in cage like jberry posted.

This is FixedTRD's setup...

 

They were 12" bypass shocks on the white DCSB DMZ build. Unless there is another build I'm not familiar with.

I'm sure this is the one your thinking of? I think he sold it a couple years ago on DR

 

Yeah, Will's truck.

 

There's always another build you're not familiar with, there's to much crap to look at them all.

 

Mine isn't a low pro as those others posted but I still kept most of the bed, and I agree on waiting for shocks. Paid $600 for my king smoothies brand new but I could have picked up some bypasses for $900 a week later if I would have waited

 

Well thanks for that it's not as good of a deal as I thought if you guys picked yours up for 700 the ones I was looking at were going to be 300 and needed a rebuild

 

Need some help here.

I lose alignment all the time. Even after mild offroading, my steering wheel will be canted 10-20 degrees. It is as if the most minor of "pushing" the truck will cause a loss alignment.

My alignment cams haven't moved. They're marked. And have the TC gussets installed.

My heims and bushings are new. My steering rack is new. My tie rods are new. My wheel bearings are good. My steering shaft is tight, and the intermediate shaft has been replaced recently.



I'm chasing my tail on this. What could be causing this?

 

Bent studs?

 

Which truck has the 14's tucked in then?

 

Like wheel studs?

When I put the truck on jackstands and shake the wheels, I can't find any significant play.

 

I've seen more than one, this was the easiest example I could find right meow tho

Is $400 a good deal on New King 2.0 x 4" bumps with cans?

 

Gracias, I assumed that the lower shock mount would have to be super low like that.

 

What hardware are you guys using to mount your bedsides? I'm replacing all the hardware while I paint the bedsides. Or cheap places to get the fender hardware (can't think of the name
Right now)

 

I think those go for like 700 new if I've done my research correctly
