Long Travel BS Thread

did you ask? haha

 

good luck to him. 14' enclosed trailor is worth way maore then some used 12" Trips

 

Yeah I messaged him about it. Says they have a fresh rebuild on them but they look pretty beat just from the pictures lol. Wouldn't mind a set of bypasses but not paying full price for used stuff lol

 

get a qoute from DSM they have pretty dam good prices that they cant advertise Just PM them. there in the vendors list.

 

I don't NEED bypasses but I think with a little tune ability and a slightly bigger shock, it'll make my crawler slightly more enjoyable going more than 10 mph lol. Plan is to outboard the rear shocks with my 63s once I finish the new 9 in. Will make sure it has room for a 2.5 bypass though. Should be easy with a 68"wms though.

 

Anyone know about rebuilding king bump stops? Called today and they said you need special bump stop oil but I can’t find anything on that when I search for it

 

With that said, when guys outboard the rear and angle them forward, how many degrees are you angling them? Ive heard any where from 10-15*. Or is straight up and down best?

 

Sooo I asked for a cash price. This is what he said. Am I missing something besides the kibbetech part lol I'd never pay the 1200 or 1800. Maybe 800 at most

 

Dsm isn’t doing shock service anymore just setting up their brand new shocks they sell from what I understand

 

woah woah woah he said he paid for them???? hahahha i bought those beat for 800$ 3 years ago used off a sand car
one bypass tube doesnt have internals, one shocks seal is blown and the uniballs are trashed. the coating on the bodies had come off so i scotch brite them and gave them a clear coat. everyhing else is really nice on them lol then ended up straight trading him for 14" coilovers with pure race resies and springs lol

dude call him out on that be like i know the previous owner because your posted his pictures of them on his truck lol 800$ all day

 

I sent him another text calling him out. Pretty sure hes running with his tail tucked since I foiled his scam. Was shooting for the stars with that ad. Waiting for a response but I doubt hell respond.

 

I seriouly hate it when people try and take avantage of others. I get they are trying to make a buck, but be fair....... whatever peace.

 

Let me know what he says lol when I dealt with him he seemed ok. Paid for 2 day air to ship his stuff to me and paid for my stuff to ship to him so I didn’t spend a dime lol well worth it cause I got what I wanted. I’m not sure he knew what he was doing on his end with his truck lol here’s some pictures when I took them off to send them to him. They cleaned up well, New uniballs and a coating and they would be pretty nice set up. 800$ is pretty fair

 

Did the shoe come with? That might sweeten the deal a bit.

 

My last response was probably pretty harsh but idgaf. Scammers get what they get.

 

Lol reminds me of the deal I got super excited about in Texas. Dude had brand new 10” triples and wanted 2k and said they were pure race.. I told him 800$ and he said each and I was like yea no lol deals come and go though there will always be more lol I would have never noticed that they were my shocks if he didn’t use the pictures of them on my truck I closed that tab and was like wait... and sure enough lol

 

Hes all butt hurt over it which is fine. Was thinking he was going to say 1000 for them and figured I could get him down a little but wasnt expecting 1800 and 1200 lol. Not looking to spend even that kind of money though but when the right deal comes up I'll jump on it. Good looking out

 

A couple weeks to get the rack from Solo, sometimes they have one on the shelf, sometimes its 3 weeks lead time.

The actual install was two easy days in my shop, working by myself on jack stands.

 

It's not bolt in, but it's not a really hard fab job either. I've got a couple posts on it in my build, bottom line is you have to move the bungs the rack bolts into, and you have to notch the frame to clear the boots.

 

Has anyone with a second gen found a way to keep or replace their parking brake after lting the rear?
