Long Travel BS Thread

Yes! Very few get this, a 600lb spring with 2" of preload has 1200lbs of preload to hold the weight, spring length does not matter on a constant rate spring. What happens is people are using a spring compressor to install a longer spring. That still counts as preload once installed

 

right but with 2'' of preload thats a lot of weight(force from the coil) up front for his truck, which explains why he is so nose high. IDK about you..but I like down travel as much as up travel.

Plus putting and 18'' coil on a 8'' coilover with that much pre load might make the coil block out. He does have flat bottoms now he said so he is probably fine though.

 

well if i lower my truck in the front less perload softer the ride and less up travel and keep like as is now more up travel stiffer ride ? Im i right ?

and really you don't want to go over 3"preload

 

I'm running a 10" and 12" 500. A bit too low of a spring rate for my truck. I should be running a 500 over 600 now.

 

I'm not going to say how long this took me lol

 

needs more dirt.
super clean truck.

 

Pseudo photo shoot today for the company that helped me with the wrap so they can use the truck to advertise. Only pic I took, but hopefully they send me the others once they go through them in a few days.



First time I've stuffed the tires in the fiberglass bedsides too

 

So where's the TW discount!? j/k

 

I see you Landon.

It's amazing what your truck can do while staying within government regulated speed limits

 

Yep there was a police station right next door but its all good, i was not breaking the law or anything...

LOL my thread about the railroad jump got banned within 10 minutes of posting it.

 

TW ain't about that shreddy life

 

looking for a driver side airbag 05-11 taco with steering controls on the cheap or just borrow.
need it to pass inspection in the next few weeks.

 

You could always take out the light bulb if it isn't obvious it's missing - actually even if it was don't smog techs only look at the dash?

 

What a bunch of pussys for banning Marcus. That fucking road jump is gnar. Pussies

 

Is that what got him the ban? I’m surprised that got him if that’s the case...I get it was likely not at legal speeds, but why should he get the boot of it doesn’t really pertain to the forum itself for that act?

 

Relocated my resi and some tuning done. They are feeling better on the road now. Thanks 303shocks @TMFF
