Long Travel BS Thread

That shackle should be almost contacting the hanger at bump. I’m wondering if you set your rear hangers too far forwards or the front mounts for the lead too far back.

 

fixed it

This may be a dumb question but did you depressurize your shocks? If they're still pressurized, that could be contributing to the lifting before full compression.

 

fixed what?

 

that kit lol

 

Yes they are not pressured and not even connected yet.

 

I spaced them according to dmz measurements. I hope that isn’t the issue... yikes

 

Well then..something is off.

Better start measuring stuff again..

 

Try taking the drive shaft off first. That’s easy and could possibly be causing some bind.

 

His driveshaft would be an issue at full droop, not at bump iffy was an issue

 

Yeah that is a good point. Never mind!

 

Either way I took it off, wasn’t the problem. Fuck

 

Yeah if your shocks aren’t charged then you have an issue.

 

Are your shackles hitting anything? I can’t tell from the pics.

Not your issue but on mine they were hitting the bed and causing the same issue.

 

Called Tim he told me to throw some weight on the bed!
Boom!

 

Bump location looks much better. As far as lifting the truck up, mine did the same. Not quite as soon as yours did, but I had a 200lb rear bumper at the time. I accommodated it to minimal weight over the bed and fixed by throwing my spare on like you did.

 

Look okay?!

 

If you aren't bottoming the shock out on full droop id move your lower mounts up a bit. Hell Id move the bumps up an inch at least.

 

Get everything you can out of this thing. You can always shorten limit straps/make adjustments, or on the other side raise the strike plate later. Once you fully weld the cans it will be tough to move them and cost you a new set possibly.

 

^This. There's still a lot of usable room on that shaft. If others haven't chimed in already, I think I've seen people bump with under an inch of shaft left in uptravel and as @Hawk373 said you can always raise the strike plates.

I get to do this same routine soon because brown santa just arrived with my 2.5x14 triples, so stoked.
