Long Travel BS Thread

They're proud of their shit because they've got a good name in a tough industry. Building high quality race proven designs that are made in the USA isn't cheap, especially when burger flipping losers want $15 an hour to go buy Tide pods. Based on the fact that you're running 20" deep dish rims and are asking about stacking lifts for more height so your 33's don't rub, long travel isn't for you. You won't get any lift from installing something functional on your truck.

I am going a different route with the truck and do something functional opposed from being a mall crawler I enjoy going to the beach and driving in the dunes and in a full-size truck with a larger lift and a v8 that’s fine but with this smaller truck it’s just not gonna work so I am doing away with the big rims and lift, that’s how I got the truck. Time to make it my own.

 

My last alignment was in 2012, still drives straight and steering wheel still dead center, still have OEM alignment cams and can still be adjusted if needed. Proper build/gusseting goes a long way, or maybe I just dont drive very fast

Im blown away that your truck is still in alignment! I take my truck out a couple times and I have to go back in to Firestone (thank god for the lifetime alignment). I just thought it was the way it was...I was looking into the TC cam tabs but your alignment is still straight on with OEM ones

Im wondering what else I need to lock mine in like yours...any suggestions?

 

He has cam gussets lol..

 

And camburg LCAs have joints in them too which helps relieve stress at the mounts on impacts. Not a LOT but still some which helps.

 

Completely wrapped the LCA tied in with my bumper. But also gusseted everything, UCA mounts, engine cage, engine mounts, tranny mount, frame plates and the biggest help being the complete roll cage. If your frame and mounts bend and tweak all over the place it doesnt really matter how solid the alignment cam tabs are

 

Got one side mocked up and just need to do the other side while I wait 2 months for the shocks to show up.

 

There is no need to use an air chisel etc, if you use the correct spot weld drill bit it takes ten seconds per spot and the tabs literally fall off...ping ping on the garage floor

 

Someone's drinking cheap beer and getting angry on the interweb at 2 am...again

 

Nope, that was 100% sober.

 

Yo
4x4 doods
Is there any reason I can't yank my driveshaft out and drive in 4wd?

 

as in FWD? or as in 2wd low?

either way..yes.

 

In an emergency situation, yes you can.

 

4x4 w/ no driveshaft? Sounds good to me (if this thing were 6x6)

 

Define emergency? Haha
I was gonna try and drive it like 30 miles to a friends house where we can rip the rear end apart

 

You can, it basically makes it like a front wheel drive car - I probably wouldn't dump the clutch / brake stand / go for top speed on the freeway lol

 

Dirt king?

 

Typically how many miles does it take for kings to settle?
