Long Travel BS Thread

So limit straps help keep the shocks from bottoming out or whatever you call it how would it cause me to droop lower?

 

Its not the droop or different sides, if you flip the picture and put them side by side look at then angle on the uniball cup. The correct side is facing forward but the arm is upside down, or as Ikickyourdog said he has the left and right side switched, they are definitely wrong

 

No no no the shock was on the wrong side that's what's throwin you guys off the shock was backwards with the resi going to rear of the truck instead of going towards the front those got swapped

 

That's my passenger side with the drive side shock on

 

No no no, look at the uniball cup, you have the upper arms on the wrong side. The shock doesnt really matter, the uniball cup angle is way off

 

You sir are correct

 

It's not a matter of the arms facing in the right direction, the arms have a vertical curve to them if you look at your unibal cup compared to mine you'll see that yours is pointing way down which will drastically limit your down travel. You need to swap sides and flip them over. It's hard to tell in my pic but it's strapped just before shock over extends and I still have plenty of space for the unibal not to hit to cup. If that makes any sense lol

 

You can see the uniball cup is tilted wrong. Also the arm on the left is welded much higher up the cup and curving downwards, the arm on the right is welded closer to the bottom of the cup and curving upwards

 

On another note I am currently gusseting my lower mounts and getting ready to install my solo kit

 

Yeah you guys are right, good catch!

 

You guys think this is ok for lower mount gussets?

Edit: they're bigger than they look in the pic

 

Big thanks to the guys at LSK! Working with them on my truck and we briefly spoke about a front bumper at some point. Well I listed my current bumper just for fun and it looks like I'm going to need a new bumper sooner than later. They are able to work me in within the next 2 weeks and build a new bumper.








And install their front kit!

 

So your saying my uca's are upside down and on the wrong side of the truck? Fuck would been nice if they were labeled or something a simple sticker could have fixed the problem

 

Yup. At least you didn't find out after fuckin something up

 

Haha yea I 2as going to take it where I bought the kit to have them take a look and weld my gussets but they say 500 bux just to weld them on the truck like wtf

 

Holy shit you can lead a horse to water but you shouldn't have to suck his asshole to get him to drink.

Just look at the difference in the uniball angle. Something is not right and that something is the UCAs are switched.

 

Exactly so I'll be welding those on this weekend somewhere and I will be swapping the uca's this weekend too now haha pain in the ass I swear so what I'm doing with the uca's is switching passenger side with driver side and flipping them 180 degrees

 

im not laughing at you slates, but at mx's comment. ive fucked up many a time.

 

No worries I'm kicking myself in the ass right now
