Long Travel BS Thread

Anyone happen to know where all the crumple zones are on our trucks?
Weak zones as well?

Just trying to do some research.

 

I know for the front it’s on the frame before the fenderwell, but after the bumper location.

 

Random question but does anyone have the pro eagle jack with it mounted in the bed? I was curious for ideas to help keep it secure in the bed.

Yep

 

Cool that is pretty much where I was expecting to bolt it down at.

 

Mounted jack handle across the rear bumper with the Solo Motorsports jack handle mount. The jack handle needed to be turned down to inside fit the jack handle mount. At the time they did not have a version that fit.

 

Damn is it just me or is that a pretty damn good deal for the jack and mount? Contemplating getting it with the wheels though.

 

I got the HF version - I'm going to see about getting an extension welded on so it doesn't fall off when at a less-than-preferable angle.

I’m contemplating the three ton version over the two ton. I feel since I have skids and armor I should go for the three to not push it right?

 

You could weigh your truck and see how much it weighs when fully loaded and have a better idea of what it would be lifting... There's no way I'll have more than 4000lbs over one axle. My whole regular cab weighs less than that fully loaded for a week long camping trip.

 

Lol
The 3rd gens from the factory weigh 4900 stock

 

cuz no reg cab

 

At 4900lbs You won’t have over 4000 on a single axle either.

 

Someone trade me there 5.29 front diff for my 4.88 k thanks bye

 

You guys have any idea what this noise could be. It starts around 30-35 mph and continues up to 70 or so. It almost has an electrical sound to it. The noise is not coming out of the speakers. The tone differs with speed but it isn’t consistent. Most of all it is SUPER annoying lol Changed a bunch of stuff on the truck in the last couple months so kinda hard to track it down. (Solid motor mounts, moved batteries to bed, 3 link, new front kit, new steering rack) Any ideas would be helpful, thanks guys. https://youtu.be/xJWPR2olQuU

 

You could jack your truck up and spin the wheels to see if you can get it to do it if it's only wheel speed dependent.

 

Anyone interested in a solo Motorsports oem 2nd gen rack?

 

Fox does top cap and bottom mount resi's on their bypasses. I've seen quite a few sets for sale on race dezert and on friends trucks in town that were converted to bottom mount.
