Long Travel BS Thread

goodluck on the glassworks fenders iv ben hearing more and more horror stories lately about them

 

I'd go fiberwerx or mcneil

 

Everyone has a horror story about some glass but for me personally I wont ever get fiberwerx again. Glassworks seems to have good fit but go through DMZ to order or you'll wait forever to get them. I always say this but roadrunner was good too.

 

Yep, I've already contacted Tim and will be ordering them on Monday. I've heard all the horror stories as well, but so far Tim says he's got glass within a couple of weeks with no issues. Would you giys recommend the 6" glass fronts or the 4" for LT?

 

4 is perfect for 3.5 over

 

Awesome. Thanks!

 

Tim probably gets better service from Glassworks than the general public does due to the volume that he orders. Well worth it in my opinion to spend a few more bucks and not have to worry vs. go direct with Glassworks and be nine weeks down the road wondering where your fiberglass is.

 

Yep! Thats exactly why I'm ordering through him. Way to many horror stories of glassworks fucking over individuals

 

At that tire size I would consider 4.88s when you regear instead of 4.56. I debated back and forth, went with 4.88s, and I'm glad I did.

Do you have rock sliders and skid plates already?

 

From what I've read, 4.56 and 35s with the 6 speed is about perfect? I would like to keep a little top end as well...I do have sliders now, and an Allpro aluminium skid, BAMF is fabbing a trans skid to mate to the AP IFS skid and then probably a transfer case skid, but the IFS will get nixed when the truck gets built for a high clearance tube bumper with skids all the way back. To the trans skid.

 

Holy balls to the wall

 

4.56 will bring you back to stock ratios, 4.88 is giving you more low to mid range in exchange for some top end. When you're in 4 Low / Low, the 4.88s feel like a crawl box. Lots of control.

On the highway the RPMs aren't bad. I don't pay enough attention to quote numbers. 60-75 MPH is no issue.

But that's with my five speed auto.

4.56 is technically stronger. I called ECGS and they said they haven't had issues with the 4.88s, and with their warranty, I'm not concerned.

 

did the mid travel prerunner thing first. Now its supercharged 4x4 LT time

 

Yea I'm looking to stay about stock ratios with the 4.56. Supercharged gives me the fun power I want, so I don't need 4.88s to get the extra power. Having the lower end torque would be nice, but I spend more time at the higher end so I want to stay right around where Im at now. Fingers crossed for that 2012+ UCON someday soon.

 

I'm prolly goin 4:88's, 6-speed, more spank when you get on it and crawls lots better.... But mostly cause I get too many speeding tickets lol

 

Go lower then stock. If it was me I'd go even lower the 4:88. You really plan on going over 100mph? I think you'll regret 4:56

 

I think he should do 4.56s. Especially since he has the supercharger. 4.56 is supposedly a bit overgeared for 35s on the manual as it is...

 

Hmmmm doubtful I'll be pushing over 100 very often, but I do cruise at 75-80 pretty often and don't want to be pushing 3k rpms the whole time. Right now I'm right at about 2750-2800 or so at 80mph.

 

2nd paragraph.

 

Nice! Last I read they had the 2009-2011 done, but weren't coming out with 2012+ until early next year. Guess I better give them a call and see if they've got one for my 2015
