Long Travel BS Thread

Nah it’s like feb 7-10 at least that’s when I’m going out there

 

Had to design and build an entire 4-link rear. Got delayed. Only one of me

 

Still cutting it close for still fabbing up control arms.

 

You gonna make it in time?

 

Yolo

I’ll let you know at 8 am on Feb. 6th

 

I’ll be waiting for a link to the live in car race feed

yeah except 37s + turbo + Long travel+ weakass stock front diff and rear diff = no drivetrain

lol

 

Anyone have any bad things to say about bora spacers? I’m thinking of getting the 2” for the rear

 

Oh.....you forgot 4.88 gearing that would definitely help too. Lolz

 

You'd want 5.29s for 37s I'd think. But still. Boom goes the drive train

 

4.88s with a manual and 37’s are still a little high for me

 

I would have thought that gearing would have been ideal for 37's although I got 4.56 for my 35's.

 

with the turbo i almost wish i didnt regear. 37s would help my cause. Its too torquey now and highway manners sre hideous. My speedo is wonky but i should gps and see where im at rpm and speed wise. With 35s, the turbo, and 4.88 with lockers its ridiculous. Guessing 65 is cruise speed at 3000rpm ish. Its bad

 

Jesus! I got 4.56's in my second gen and Im at about 2300 rpms with 35's. Not surprised though, my first gen auto with 35's and 4.88s had similar highway rpms. That experience alone is why I only went to 4.56 with my second gen auto.

 

Sheesh I love 35s and 5.29s. wouldn't ever dream of 4.88s with 35s. The torque is awesome. The supercharger makes it all the more fun.

Doubt it's that bad. That's more what my rpms are like with 5.29s. 3300 at 70mph. Friends with 4.88s and 33s aren't that high either.

Idk WTF you mean too torquey haha no such thing. Not like your doing wheelies lol I love the torque. Any hill any time just pulls all day.

Plus off-road in 4lo is killer

 

I’m going 4.88s with 33s, will be going 34s when these wear out.

 

Different motor and manual trans

 

I'm going 295/70/17 next 305s are a tat to big without rubbing. They work but at full stuff and lock no turn all.

 

that and not having money or time to regear is why I decided on 295
