Long Travel BS Thread

I've got an old set sitting around but the ball joints are fucked up on the passenger side, maybe drivers side too, I can't remember. If you want them you can take them. I'm in fontana

 

Which side did you bend?

 

Driver

 

Cool I'll take them. I need the driver side for now.... looking for a good deal on aftermarket ones.

 

In the future calmini also has stock parts if you're in a bind, not sure how their prices stack up but just in case. If you were a first gen Id let you have the stock lowers in my garage

 

@tetten is probably closer to you, but I’m pretty sure I have a set in mediocre condition floating around the shop. Pm’d you about aftermarket arms as well.

 

I’ve used them when Ive been in binds. They are usually are about double what going rate is on here. Not bad if it’s something you really need.

 

I know - just giving you a hard time about the not getting scratched thing - had memories from years ago during my junior college days lol. I get the corrosion stuff - my dads '10 Tundra already got a factory replacement bed and now a new frame meanwhile my 08 looks new underneath out here.

F that I'd paint my stuff every year and fluid film the chassis every winter if I still lived in the north east. If you get a few years without having to redo the coating it would save a lot of work repainting or steelit-ing them several times. I've been thinking about steelit-ing whatever I get for the rear if they're tore back when I get them. Looks nice. So what are you doing in the front?

 

Quick question gents. What size tube should I run for upper links? I was thinking 2" .250 wall DOM. Is that over kill? Should I just use 1.75" .250 wall DOM. Thanks.

 

Looks like it's time to go LT up front

 

Indeed.

 

I graphed out my travel numbers. These are ruff numbers for sure. But they are looking like 13" of up travel and 9" of down travel. What's better to have, more up travel or more down travel? This is with a 14" coilover and measuring veritcial up and down center of axle from my ride height.

 

You have to have more travel than that because with my 12's I'm bumped and strapped at 20" ?

 

I’ll post my graph once I finish it. I’m redoing it because of all the chicken scrach. I might be wrong with the measurements on the coilover. 14” Fox 24.50” collapsed and 38.43” extended. I still have to check fox’s website and double check the numbers.

 

2.5x10 coil and triple bypass
Both race with large fin and the coil will have comp adjuster

 

What kit agian?

 

Pretty sure he is doing the full blown Solo XLT set up

 

Ah nice
