Long Travel BS Thread

Yes, and no you don't need to flutter the 12 stack(rebound)

 

Thank You! Appreciate the help

 

When I had a single c/o up front I ran a double stack 20 on comp and .008 on rebound, but I like to sky wheelie!

 

I did this for four sets of hubs on my old 2nd Gen. Our shop press had multiple steel plates that I stacked together to make a jig. I may have had the plates shoot out once or twice when they weren't lined up right and fly across the shop. Looking back, I ruined one bearing due to operator error (Me) and it would have been cheaper in the long run to just take the loose parts to a machine shop for the press work.

 

Anyone looking for:

F67 w/ extended shackles
32 gallon Jaz fuel cell
2.5x16 king double bypasses
ESB front kit, modified stock spindle and heim steering
Leaky tundra axle with arp studs, limited slip diff, unknown gears

Gonna be available starting mid-end October or the following few months. Pics and condition upon request

 

what kit you going with ? 4wd ?

 

Solo xlt 4x4 kit

 

I'll start your links next tuesday. Mint chip powdercoat cool with you ?

 

Already have lower links, thanks though.

 

I might be interested in the bypasses if i'm still looking by then

 

x2, any pics?

 

Does anyone have any comments on the Solo Motorsports +2" kit? Looking to buy it but I'm told I'll need a spacer for the lower arm. Just looking for advice if it's a good kit.

 

Dont think youll need a spacer, just extended 2" axles.

 

Spacer for what?

 

Speaking from very recent personal experience with that kit - if it is a 4x4 - yes he will need some 1/4" spacers to go between the OE BJ adapt and the bottom of the spindle. The Solo kit has the uniball in the LCA and the spindle sits low over the LCA and the clearance for the bottom of the CV to the LCA is not sufficient as it droops. You will also need to buy qty -4 10mm longer bolts since you are adding the spacers. Use OE style CV boot crimp on clamps as well, a regular hose clamp will hit the LCA as it droops.

Edit - in case my explanation sucks here is a photo, you can see I have 2 washers stacked in there right now. Solo sliced some solid spacer out of tubing for me and I have not had time to install them yet :

 

Other than the couple extra things needed, have you liked your setup?
Also, did you do the work or take it to solo?

 

what size are those lower spindle bolts anyway?

M16 / 1.5 pitch I believe...

 

Will get pics soon, I'm busy with work the next few days. They have one desert day trip, and street miles besides that. Calving is 12 comp 10 rebound if I remember right. One has some scratches on the top cap but nothing major.
