Long Travel BS Thread

Yea I've pitted there last year for a friend, it gets gnarly on day two. We are really gunna try for a win, truck is in prime condition soo fingers crossed

 

So I'm thinking of switching the current 300-18-600 king springs for some 300-18-550 eibach springs to get the ride height down a bit more.

Anyone have any input on this?
It sits right about .75" above the midway point in the travel right now

 

Shakedown run today then final nut n bolt check everything, she be ready to dominate

 

hydraulic press anyone!!!!!!!

 

I have one, but I'm out of the state currently. Ask jeff?

 

I have one, but im in Orange country not SD county

 

i have one, in the mira mesa area.

 

i dont mind driving to orange county is it a big one? i have four axle shafts that need the brakes pressed off

 

im interested in possibly using someones ill pay for your time want to get my tundra axle put togther

 

almost certain it's a 50 ton, havent used it for a bit.
BUT i dont have the adapters needed to press off the bearings

 

where can i buy those ore can you make them?

 

Might have to go to a shop

 

Very rough start on my front bumper. I'm using 2x1 rectangle that is 3mm thick which is the same size as my bed cage which is round 1.75 dom tube. There will be a lot more bracing. I'm also going to plate a good amount of it for added strength as I know the rectangular tube is not as strong as the round. Seems everyone has round so wanted to do something different. What do you guys think? Am I just wasting my time or do you think with enough plate and bracing I can create a unique, solid, cool bumper?

 

anyone know what direction the course for mint is going this year? getting parking passes for area 4 for sure and then the start finish but last year they went the other way on the dike jump and it kinda killed it.

 

My understanding from your post is that it's about halfway in it's travel point at ride height ?
Is the rear end stock?

 

Should be fine, I think it looks better than round tube anyways

 

does that truck have 25" of travel or something? haha

 

Im set up to press out the bearings on an 8" housing.

 

No "official" source but I'm 99% sure it's going to go the usual way, not what they did last year. S/F towards Jean, around the back side and down in to Primm again.

 

Thanks man. Lots of grinding......
