Long Travel BS Thread

I didnt know about this stuff it looks like it would work great. Which style do you recommend for the battery cables? The standard flex wrap or the high heat one? Thanks for the info!

 

it does. Use it all the time.

Id just use the standard for the cables. If you wanted to sleeve them together with high heat that couldn't hurt. Especially if you plan on running them by any exhaust.

 

On bedcages has anyone used 1 1/2 Inch or does everyone use 1 3/4 ?

 

Convo about cab cages, but until someone else answers you might like to read it:

1.5” will be just fine for a sua setup. It’s just holding shocks while preventing the frame from twisting too much. Good geometry is the most important part. Most people go larger because it looks good when it comes to a play truck. I’ve even seen 2” with 1.75-1.5” secondary support bars.

 

You want your rear to outperform your front. If I were you, I'd go straight to SUA.

 

You can do the DMZ SUA with a shock hoop and not cut thru the bed like @Jerez.

 

Some LT left overs.

Custom Icon 4 Tube 3.0x16" Bypasses (25" Collapsed 41" Extended) 15" Oversized Resi, Brand new, never Run. Valved for the back of linked Mid size truck. Have sat on my garage shelf for 4 years so probably wouldn't hurt to open them up.

$1600 Firm

 

Camburg makes a 'bolt on' SUA kit as well. That's what I'll be installing on mine. I've got 2.5x14 shocks and the Archive Garage rear shock towers, so I don't have to cut holes in my bed.

 

Make dmz the top of your list. Me and I think a few others here wasted our time with the tc kit. Dmz kit only has potential for things...tc not so much.

 

Talk about a unicorn right there! I have only seen icon two tube bypasses up to this point!

 

I would hope one day to have some back up shocks just in case, but I prefer the blue.

 

SOLD!!!

 

Yup. He made it work with 12 in. Triple bypasses...cycles about 13.5-14 in last I saw...good enough for cruising (this is not a race truck...)

What he said. Tim’s suppose to eventually sell it as a weld on kit like his now bolt on bed cages

 

whos got a link to a jaz oval blank plate? i know goat has them but mine is only 16 bolt not 24

 

Jd does @Cr250jumper

 

That’s the 24 bolt. I have the same one.

 

mine might be an RCI cell, i could get one cut but better just to be done so i can cut it up lol

 

Well 2 weekends ago i pulled the trigger and decided to finish the rear end of my truck on my own since i couldnt pay someone lol. Had a blast out in Ocotillo this past weekend. Truck felt a little stiff in the rear may need some leafs removed and possibly some shock valving.

 

What tires are those?
