Long Travel BS Thread

Or get a solo kit with a fabbed spindle and bump off the uca...

 

Dirt designs also has a hefty spindle that would support a bump stop on the uca

 

Isn't this what everyone told you to do? This thread has gone to shit. Unsubbed

 

Huh?

Clear that up for me.

I’m trying to steer someone away from the problem I had? Maybe you don’t remember. If you use the dirt king hoop you can’t use the factory bumpstop.

Plus this forum was pretty much split on what to do bumpstop no bumpstop.

Sorry for trying to help. This forum is a joke. Unsubbed.

See how stupid you sound?

 

Does it come with light bars?

 

Well you already helped me a bunch so thank you for the info.

 

Oops. I meant Baja kits.

Question for the FAB guys. I'm looking into getting a Tube bender with dies. Reading around I see people use a 4.5 CLR and a 6.0 CLR Die. Looking at JD Squres they have a 5.5 CLR and a 6.5 CLR. Which one should I go with? Thoughts?

 

what are you going to be bending? Thats what you need to think about when deciding on the radius of the die. You might need both if you need a tight bend somewhere. Or you might not.

 

Cab cage, engine cage and bed cage. Trying to find info on the radius that can used for all.

 

Id think the smaller one would be handy for the cab cage. You could make the corners tighter to the cab. But that's only for the C pillar really. So probably not supper required. Id think the bigger die would be more useful but do some measuring and figure out how you want think to look.

 

Found this. Looks like the 5.5 would be fine. Reading around people say it doesn’t deform the tube that much. Especially DOM.

 

yeah deformation is also important. Looks good to go with a 5.5!

 

I have the 6.5 jd2 and it's definitely to big for a cab cage unless you want most of the cab in bends and not straight sections so I'm going to borrow my buddies 5.5 when I get time for that project.

 

Thanks bud

 

what length rear limit straps are most of you 2nd gen guys running ? with SUA and 16" bypasses. i picked up a used defined sua kit for the time being tell i can get the time and $ to drop the truck off at Tim at DMZ.

 

With my dmz kit I'm running 18" straps. But I'm sure anything from 16-20 would work depending on where you mount it

 

perfect, thank you. thats what i was thinking.

 

spotted the other day in front of autozone. Im pretty sure i have seen him on here before.
