Long Travel BS Thread

its not too bad. my brother has an ext cab 7.3 with all of these set ups and the lowered and stretched 24x14s on that little 305 or what ever rode the best, and he towed it lowered and stanced like that all the way to hammers and moab haha

 

I would suggest going with an adjustable clevis for this, either way before CV bind.

My first time around on my truck I cycled and found where it barely didn't bind and went up like an 1" then burned the tabs on. Assembled it and no bind, used it once and the strap stretched and pulled a CV apart. Ended up twisting the straps until I had no bind. Eventually that ripped the straps (lasted about 6 months of weekend use) so when I replaced them I also got adjustable clevises and adjust them every so often.

Good read for shock tuning.

 

The guy who did mine had to cut my shafts as well when he was installing them. Each set is its own beast, I will gladly pass that job onto someone else.

Coot

 

I had him custom tune some shocks for me and hes been a stand up guy. going to have him do the same for the front shocks soon.

 

I thought it was one of the best shock tuning guides I've read that is very easy to follow.

 

Awesome, thanks.

 

You'll need to put axle stubs in your wheel bearings as well

 

No it's not...the 2wd have a locking ring

 

Figured I'd post it here too. Glass works has been bought out

 

Ohhh I see. Was wondering who they were and why they were posting pics of trucks with glassworks fenders lol

 

That's good. I thought they just changed their name. They needed helps with the sales side of stuff.

 

Huh. i wonder if they will be better about shipping and ordering..

 

hopefully, only reason im holding off on 7" rear glass is because i dont wanna get fisted on not getting my stuff

 

haha no doubt. My front glass is almost due for replacement..

 

i wanna get 7" for the rear but worried itll look goofy with the 4" in the front. i think your trucks needs some fiberwerx

 

Why? i mean...i have fiberwerx up front haha

Was gonna get the same for the rear..but..haven't gotten to redoing the rear yet.

7'' and 4''..eh. Just be staggered. Though might be a bit odd..

 

haha double cab needs some glass haha yea im not 100% sure. id love to get the mcniel 6" glass but thats just more money that i dont need to spend. id get front and rear glass but to ship it out to me is 700$ alone for freight...

 

Before i had glassworks, i tried out mcneil, first shipment took 6-8 months. when it arrived everything but the hood was completely smashed. called them and they sent us new front fenders but they were the wrong size and fit like absolute trash. never got our money back, called glassworks and it took a little longer than what they said it would but they fit 1000x times better. But i have heard both good and bad about glassworks, maybe their customer service will be better as advfiberglass now.

 

i like how the mcneil front 6" looks. id cut my bedsides no problem but i only have 1-2" till the gas door. and when i get into that itll just look like shit. ive seen 7" glass look the best on this truck, basically my goal for how id like mine to be but just linked.
