Long Travel BS Thread

Awesome

 

hopefully it all works out! hoping to order some burg links around 4th of july then i could start cycling the rear to see how itll work out. still need to see if my buyer for the front end is still interested cause that would literally pay for TTs race kit lol

 

So what your saying is fox shox. Fo. Da. Win. Let me know when you wanna roll to the cinders

 

Have you done bloody basin to sheeps bridge yet? It's pretty flat but there's some cool shit to see and you end on the water at the Verde River. I'd be down to meet out there one day, I've got a little bit of free time between now and the 28th.

 

this guy with fox....

 

I did pretty much same and haven’t had any problems either

 

x2 on welding cab to the cage. I just gotta find that damn squeak under my dash. 4cyl engines are the worst.

 

I fail to see how that post down plays king in any way...

 

Fox bypass tubes overlap duh #blackshockslivesmatter

 

You mean like this? sorry for the bad pic lol

 

#blackshocklivesmatter

 

No those are not overlapping. See how this bypass the 2nd compression tube doesnt start until the 1st bypass tube ends



But this one both bypass tubes overlap so both are in use at the same time



You can order Kings to overlap but Fox come overlapping as the normal setup. The rebound and compression will always overlap but they mean having two or more of either compression or rebound overlap each other

 

Both of those king pictures are staggered pattern not overlap. The overlap lets you run more compression for a better bump zone and it have be so stiff at ride height. It really really helps on the links of a dcsb truck because of the shitty motion ratio. Hell it helps on normal links too. Looks at all the TTs and you will notice almost all of them run overlapping tubes. Also another issue I have found is on the king 3.0 prerunner series they don't put a big enough port for the resi so that makes for some harshness too. I'm a king guy too so don't take it as a king bashing. Just trying to help people learn from my mistakes so they can make there truck work better from the start

 

I have only gotten to explore a few local trails around town but I'm game for that! I would like to go up to the cinders too

 

Ohhhhh I see now. Because why put in the proper valving when you can just have wayyy more fluid bypassing the piston? #double20stackalldaylong

 

Not exactly. The overlap gives you better progression. Both still need the proper valving. Example you can make both ride the same thru small whoops quality wise but the overlap will be able to take a bigger hit because it will have more valving in the bump zone.

 

That's 100% not true.....one reason to have overlapping tubes even if your calving is correct is the small chatter bumps at ride height.....you can have a super plush soft mid range then it ramp to a mean bumpzone for the whoops.... and you can't really do that with valving. The tubes allow for position sensitivity. Not just hard or soft. That's really the valvings job. And adjusting the shims is where you can change how hard or soft it is in relation to the shock shaft speed.

 

Exactly!

 

Yeah I know, Just messing around and throwing some bs at fox. Sorry you typed all that out lol. But hey I'm sure it will help someone out

 

It does help. Still new to the function of shocks and understanding valving. So I appreciate the info.
