Mid Travel BS 2.0

Does the blue add travel or HP?

 

This is actually very easy to do. I replaced all my studs with ARP extended studs with the hub on the truck. I used my stock lug nuts and as long as you use something like a few washers to keep from pulling the lug nut into the stud hole then you won't fuck up the end of it and can use 1 lug nut to seat all the studs. I didn't even use an impact, just a socket wrench. Took me about 1 1/2 hours to do both front hubs. I can imagine an impact making it just faster

 

No dummy. It adds swag. Duh

 

ATF. Valvoline MaxLife Lol.

 

Yea, ATF sounds like a great way to keep my new seals functional for years to come.





No thanks

 

Wound up being pretty easy. First stud took 45mins or so figuring out how to get the caliper off and popping off the disc. Put everything back together only to realize that another stud was cross threaded so badly it was basically shot (thanks again Firestone), took everything apart again in 20 mins and swapped the 2nd one in no time. Just need that video I posted above to give me a bit of confidence.

 

Hell yeah. Good job man.

 

So I'm going to redo my rear shock relocation and measure it all out and do it right.

I'm plaining on taking the leafs apart down to the main leaf. So when that leaf start going negative I should bump there. Correct? And the shock should be almost all the way collapsed. Correct? Maybe leave an inch?

Then I need to let the axle droop and at this point the shocks need to be fully extended. Or almost fully extended.Correct?

 

I'd leave 1/2" at full stuff just to be safe, and strap it at 1/2" or so left. I blew my last shocks because I over extended them

 

Sweet thanks!

 

Get some other peoples opinion on here too though, more opinions the better!

 

It is o.k for your leafs to go into negative arch, most leaf packs are designed to handle it. You would lose a ton of up travel for crawling if you bumped it before they went negative.

When you strip your leaf pack down to cycle it it will actually be the top two leafs since those two are actually one long leaf due to the military wrapped end. It is important that you measure the overall thickness of the leaves you remove and cut a block of wood that exact same size and use the block of wood as a spacer between your axle and main leaf and bolt it all back together. This will ensure that your lower shock mount on the axle is at the exact correct distance while you are mocking it up and cycling it. If you don't do that you could end up off by a few inches. I did a whole write up a couple years ago with photos but it got nuked when the old mod travel travel went buh bye.

 

Well said sir!

Did you take a look and see if you had any of the King resi stickers left?

 

Which resi do you need stickers for?

 

The 2.5s up front

 

I might have some more they sent a variety with mine

 

It's probably the same pack I got from them. Those are all window decals. The actual resi ones are different. They don't bubble under heat.

 

Yes, but I am afraid they are going to be too big for your front resi's. I have a set of the nice brushed aluminum background w/ blue text resi stickers but...they are 8.5" long so they must have come with my rear piggybacks because those have a bigger resi's.

 

Yea, those may be too big for the front. Let me measure when I get home.

 

Thanks for the info!

Would you say leaving a 1/2 inch of shock travel at droop and bump sufficient? Or should I leave more.
