Mid travel overland-wheeler build with 35's and BS w/ SAS in the works

I see whatcha doing @TacoFMS

 

Ok so the lead time on the prinsu is 3-4 weeks. In the mean time I should be getting the RTT next week or the week after. It's starting to finally look like an ExpoAsFuck build

 

Mine aren't that noisy but I did do the zip tie mod.

 

I may have seen that. Zip ties and tire tubes??

 

Yeah but I just used zip ties. I isolated each leaf on both ends with four of the big HD zip ties. I was chasing a squeak (that I still haven't caught) and it ended up not being the Dakar's...they're pretty quiet as of now.

 

So you literally just put zip ties at the ends of them kind of like where the isolators would go? I may do this

 

Yes...lifted the rear, used a screwdriver to pry apart te leafs, and zip tied. I'll grab you a pic...

 

Mine looks like I may actually be able to slide themail zip ties in without messing with it too much.

 

After looking at them, it seems the zip ties moved towards the center of the leaf pack a little but I'm still not hearing much noise. If I start to hear them, I'll move them back towards the ends.

I DD mine and have no issue beating on it

Ugh 3-4 weeks, guess I'll be getting some while I wait on mine as well

 

Excited for this mofo

 

@Sacrifice did you get a light bar cutout? If so what lightbar you going with?

 

Well actually...due to the fact that the internals are not as bulky as a normal shock and there is no spring to block out the ORI's can collapse a lot further. Guys are getting 11" of travel on stock length arms with ORI's. A 10" ORI will fit where a much shorter conventional CO will. The one big big problem with the ORI is that if it fails you don't have a spring to get you home, it will fully collapse and you will ride home on your bumps.

 

Yeah I believe I'm going to stick with what I got until it's LT time. But that's a ways away and of course I gotta get kings again when that time comes.

 

Ordered to go along with the prinsu

 

No I didn't. While I appreciate the actual use of the lightbar, I can't stand the fad with pavement princesses having them so I didn't want to even have the chance of being associated. Hahaha, just my opinion though.

 

My reasoning too...

 

Curious on how good these are. Wanted to get one for my truck at some point.

 

Andrew can be the guinea pig...

 

Can't Wait to see these look good mods help you up the trail
