Long Travel BS Thread

i bet it's about 1-1.5" difference. Marcs bumps off the top of his leaf pack. Thenoeafs are almost as thick as the axle that will sit on top of the new SUA leafs.

And since he is relocating shocks then he can place them with the SOA setup so he gets just as much up travel or damn close.

If anything if it does bump it 1" short then he can lower the shock mount and get that much more down travel.

Or am I missing something??

 

Elaborate oh master

 

I think you're both missing it. He's talking forward/rearward mounting position; as in if the axle will still bump to the same location.

And the answer for me was no change from SOA to Defines SUA.

 

Defined also utilizes both OEM hangers, so naturally it would

 

The axles on my rig have new stock boots on them, my spare set has the sdhq boots. No issues yet I'd just go with a new set. Also paint the shafts after you build them because they will rust.

HIGHLY suggest having a set of axles built prior to install...that's the worst part of the whole thing. Don't forget new CV axle grease for the rebuild.

 

Makes sense. Reason I ask is I'm getting the frame straightened and boxed. Was thinking of getting hydros welded while its all apart but I can't quite afford LT yet :/

Yea I wasn't sure if DMZ front hangers are supposed to mount further forward or if the leaf packs are longer

 

In theory the bump pad should be in the same space foward/back wise, just possibly higher due to more uptravel.

 

This, and if you just make your bump cans longer then you can always cut them shorter when you do SUA

 

Save your money and do it when you sua

 

Ok cool, will do.

That's the plan, while I'm waiting for the coilovers to be built I'm going to mess around and build the axles. CV axle grease? Is this something found at my local autoparts store?

 

Just get two tubs of redline CV2 off Amazon.

 

Black high pressure moly grease.

 

Hey is that James's truck? ^^^

 

Hey guys I've been looking for a factory elocker for awhile now and haven't had any luck on the buy/sell/trade forum. Does anyone on here have a factory elocker either sitting around or that they are soon swapping out? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with finding one. Thanks

 

Haha no shit...This was the plan till I bent my frame now I'm trying to play catch up

 

Bad Stefen! What did you do that for??
