Long Travel BS Thread

Increased preload. You didn’t change springs did you?

 

Nope still 500/650 dual rate

 

At least that what I got the kings with. They're 10inch and the kit is an ESB 5.5inch over

 

Anyone heard of this company? Everything seems fine I just am scared to buy them cause they’re so cheap?

 

I've got a set of 2" boras

 

How much?

 

I'm running the same.

$145 for the pair.

 

My b I thought he had his for sale haha

 

$90 - they've got a broken stud and the owner of BORA said they could sell a replacement for $10ish when I asked awhile back. Pm me if you're interested and I'll take them off my truck - they're 1/4-1/2" wider than I need otherwise I'd keep them.

 

Welp, checked the preload, definitely have too much, also noting that the springs had to be compressed first before being able to screw on the preload adjuster. My shocks are sitting at 24 inches at ride height when fully extended length is 28, so definitely need to lower it a few inches and redo the alignment. Also loosen and retighten the lower control arms at the new ride height so the bushings don't bind

 

@Anthony250 helped me set up my springs - maybe if you post pics he can help you also!

 

If he's willing, sure. I'll adjust the preload, retorque and regrease the lower arms and see what happens lol

 

Aftermarket arms have split bushings and inner sleeve, no need to retighten at ride height. The inner sleeve just sits and moves where it needs to.

 

Well nevermind that part then lol

 

whats a good brand for a tuck cover ?

 

i got boras too

 

I bought one from "Leader Accesories" on Amazon for my tundra and it seems pretty legit so far. ~$45


Who's the surfer on the 5 south this afternoon? Super clean charcoal second gen that honked at me

 

Thought yall might appreciate this! When your stuck in the northeast with a 2wd and long travel. I almost kept up with the 4x4 guys

 

Laid some more pipe today (tube). B-pillar and hopefully some roof pieces tomorrow.

 

Everything went well at solo, I’m clearing their name from some past frustration cause they were super fast. Bedsides and gas tube also went perfectly thanks to some of you on here and I’m happy to say my truck is awaiting to be painted avalanche grey (the color on the raptor below) thanks for all your help guys!
