Dakota's Yota Build (Long Travel, Chevy 63s, and BS)

Reasons why I'm mad at life:

 

Can you cut the extension on your bump stops and weld them back up shorter so you can get more travel?

What do your leaf springs look like sitting on your bump stop?

 

Yeah I can. I can see the two lines on the shock. Upper is where it's at when flexing. The lower more defined line must be full compression. Looks like the superbumps compress bout 3/4".

So it looks like I could shorten it 1.25" and still be safe. That would be nice. Would give me approximately 3" before I hit bumpstop. Still though... that's not that much My bump plates are worn down to bare metal... that should give you an idea how much I hit them.

My leafs are almost flat at full stuff. I don't mind a little bit of negative arch on the 63s... they're such a flat leaf to begin with.

QUESTION: Would a 2" stroke air bump be a good idea?? If I'm gonna hit bumpstops so often it would probably be nice to enjoy it a little more.... Or do I not have enough uptravel to properly use air bumps? Where's my LT guys at?!

 

I know nothing

 

But you're here for morale support! That's what counts!

 

This is all i see reading this^

 

My bump stops are getting worn too...but for the wrong reasons

(saggy leafs)

 

Aww too much hoonign on stock leafs with da cap

 

Dakota you should just stop being a pussy and SAS that bitch

 

On 44s

 

Math problems...

 

I wouldn't trim too much on that bump spacer. They compress more than you think. Slide that little rubber washer up on your shock to the shock body, go for a good romp and try to bottom the rear out hard, maybe flex once good too. You'd be suprised how much those superbumps compress when smashed on. Heres the best pic I could find, and this is static weight of the truck too on a jack, imagine what that would compress to when the momentum weight of a hit comes down on it.



I dont have much up travel either. I'll take pictures of my setup tomorrow with no weight in the bed. I have the pelfrey kit with 2.0's air bumps. They have maid a big difference in what little uptravel I've got when i'm weighed down on trips.

 

Lol speaking of math problems I wanna know your final drive ratio

Oh wow! Dan at wheelers was telling me they compressed that far but I was shocked. Ok will go attempt to jump for science.

I am very interested in seeing your setup. What are you running for psi in the 2.0s?

 

Thursday.

 

105 psi. But 80-90 is probably better for a empty bed. I'll take some pics tonight

 

low.low:stupid.low

the crawl box is a 4.7 reduction. the stock t-case low is a 2.3 or 2.8 reduction.

In compound low in 6th gear it won't go faster than 15mph if that.

 

Yeah I was thinking 80

 

Hell yes
