Long Travel BS Thread

Tongue weight is the important part. Familiarize yourself with it and it will help you answer your question. Anthony learned the hard way about how it can affect stability haha, especially with LT.

I know very little about towing but I do know tongue weight is usually between 10 and 15% of the GTW. Chances are you aren't pulling more than 3k lbs, and even that would put you at around 300-400 lbs of tongue weight. Probably less than the weight exerted on your springs from a fully loaded bed.

TL;DR: if you have a setup with a lower tongue weight than the weight of all that shit in your bed, it will sag less.

Hope that helps!

 

Solid advice right there

 

Some one should buy this and become my best friend:

Who made your rear bumper? I'm digging it.
And how did you attract the rear mud flaps to the glass?

Since personally installing my fiberglass bedsides, my actual bed (the tub) is about a 1/2 inch narrower. I learned this the hard way from installing a bed rail tire carrier my buddy gave me.

I had to use a crow bar to wedge the carrier into the bedrails.

Not stoked.

 

I made the bumper. The mud flaps are mounted to a support that runs from the glass to the frame

 

Did u replace the axles u got with my front kit or are they still the ones I ran?

The fuckers were Vato zone specials but worked great and only replaced the upper boots on each one only one time as they were just starting to weep grease.

 

Once I got my valving dialed the rear worked great! As for weight I had stock tank, tool box full o shit, two spares, bed cage with boxed n plated frame. My 50t were a one race take off from Bryan Blagg and will be on the new build... At some point...

Waiting on @DTFtacoma to call me back though

 

Still have our 50T pack that needs a little love, $300 as is!

 

Hey Cory, I still have the ones that came with your kit. One started to pop and click and the other one got a torn boot. Instead of doing the lifetime warranty thing with yours, I plan to build one good spare to carry out of your 2. The ones I put in are the Vato Zone Duralast Gold, only $89 bucks, lifetime warranty etc..the 930 boot I am using is $10 bucks. Also, with these there is nothing to mod inside the boot to get the droop, it is a simpler design..better?...who knows. So for $200, I have 2 new axles (reman) and spare to carry.

 

stoked when i went to start my rear brake adjuster which is the last thing i need before i can drive my truck again (besides the bedcage and shocks) and they sent me the wrong size adapter one of them is to big

 

I'm very interested if these are an F67 upgrade (for more weight) but 1) I'm not anywhere near Vegas, 2) then next time I will be in Vegas I'm continuing east and not coming back thru Vegas and 3) am too cheap to have shipped.

 

Sounds like your shit out of luck.

 

YUP!!
I guess I'm paying retail and picking up from Deaver in September

 

I just replaced the boots and ran it. No problems thus far

 

I do know a little bit about how to load trailer and such, and the tongue weight is the main reason I was thinking it would be easier on the suspension, less weight over the springs despite having a little more leverage being farther back. I appreciate the input!

 

Thx man.

 

Got my truck back 6/3



Cheated and bought new bedsides through Carlos at Camburg so I wouldn't have to wait 7 months in typical Glassworks fashion.


Also got a Switch Pros unit through Carlos as well.


Bought fuel line and fittings to be able to plumb the new cell nicely, and installed my fuel level sender. Cutting a hole in a nice new gas tank is a bit nerve wracking.
