Long Travel BS Thread

extra cab i would buy those though i they fit

 

No rub here on 35s

Actually it does barely touch the top

 

those arent trimmed at all?!

 

Only a little at the corners. Zero trimming up top.

 

oh chill! one less thing to worry about. need to start saving for that stuff

 

Or El Paso, Texas. Not everyone wants to ship when it comes to used parts.

 

FYI, I shipped a set of springs from Las Vegas to Sacramento using Golden State Overnight (GSO) and it was under $20. They put them on a pallet and everything for me. I had to open and account with them but that was easy. I will for sure use them again when needed.

 

GSO is only Nevada ca and Oregon I believe

 

Granted this is just the first pass so it's not super weld porny but is this what tube junctions are kinda supposed to look like? Derp

 

Don't mean to beat a dead horse but what is you guys' take on welding junctions? Weld each tube individually or as an assembly?

 

i start middle tube connection then switch off opposite sides on the outers. good heat dispersion and penetration is what matters imo

 

I've done it with welding the center tube first then the other ones, the pic I posted I did the left and right tubes all the way first then the center one... That way I think is easier to do

 

whats a stick of 1 3/4 run you guys in cali?

 

If you don't have friends 80$ a stick.... Friends 40$

 

I paid about 2.60/ft for 1.75" .120 wall back in April

edit: I don't have friends, lol

 

When I bought my truck it came with a defined spring under kit (leaf springs, shackles, all the other stuff), I sold it to a member on here and used fastenal to ship it from california to colorado for $50, it was the same price to ship to vermont. Thats for heavy leaf springs and stuff, they ship to any fastenal location around the U.S. Cheap, easy, and reliable. Now getting someone to ship is another story. When I was in texas the "used part market" was literally non existent.

 

In San Diego you're looking at about 3.30 foot. I get a better deal than that because of my account but it's not that much better.

 

I pay about $60 a stick. It would be cheaper if I actually picked it up, but I prefer to get it in full 18-23' sticks instead of having it cut for transport, so instead getting a discount I pay full price and take advantage of the free delivery

 

Rear web Done! Now for the b pillar stuff

 

That will never work, you're going to die.
