Long Travel BS Thread

Dang lol - did you do it that way when you linked it or before? Is that a link mount coming off of it in the right corner of the pic?

How far below the stock height is that?

 

All when I linked it, yes that is the upper mount in the corner. I am not sure exactly how far down but I think its about an inch

 

Were you running a stock carrier bearing at the stock height before that or did you already have the I.E. carrier bearing installed?

 

I was using the stock one with leafs

 

Right on. I might start with a 1/4" flat plate and then start boxing things in when I can do it myself. No vibes coming from the ds I'm assuming, what's your pinion angle set at - I'm going to be going sua with leaves.

 

I am not sure what the pinion angle was when I set up leafs, and not sure what it is now lol. I am thinking 8* up but I could be wrong. Ive been lucky and no vibes at any speed for either setup. When I did my leafs I measured the pinion first when it was all stock and just tried to match it

 

I really only see it on race trucks like this.

If you lose pressure you lose steering - that may be why it's not popular with vehicles that spend most of their time on public roads..

 

The Instagram handle of that owners truck is: sethbrzykcy

Seems like a well put together truck, that’s all I really know about it. Think it was for sale about a year ago minus the cage and had smaller tires if it’s the one I’m thinking of.

 

Not very safe on the highways and such. If you bust a line or put a hole in something you're done. Also im not 100% sure but i think they wander more??

 

that makes since.

 

Bulletproof so far. Taken more beatings than a two dollar tiajuana whore. Well worth it

 

The whore or the rack??

 

Anyone run a Swingout bumper on their LT Rig? How do you like it ? Shitty for go fast stuff or not bad?

 

@Evenflow does

 

I was planing on doing the same thing. I already took pinion measurment at the ride hight i'm going to set the truck at. I still need to get bump and droop measurements tho. Nice work on the crossmember. I'll add that to my list. Thanks for sharing.

 

Yep. High clearance and swingout. Fugger is heavy, but I built it before going LT. Works good in the go fast stuff.

 

Sweet, good enough for me

 

Depends on what you're going fast over...big whoops - no, wash board no problem but big shit and you are likely to crack welds on the tire carrier

 

I'm MT front, SUA rear. Hopefully the only whoops I'll be taking are baby ones. Don't think the front can handle much
