Long Travel BS Thread

That thing is clean.

 

Anyone wanna buy my truck now that it’s got a flip pac, so overland you’ll fit right in with 30 of your best buddies at the mall

 

Love the mall!

 

It finally happened. Cant wait for this corona stuff to be over so I can play in the dirt!

How much of a difference would it make on the street bumping up from 500 to 600lb coils?

 

that’s a very broad question with all of the variables involved. Overall I’d say significant enough to really question that decision. Why?

 

I have 500's now that are in need of cleaning up, and there are some 600's for sale that I could swap to.. Just curious really

 

You bottom out much in the dirt? How much preload do you have on the 500s?

 

If you're happy with your ride height and quality I wouldn't increase spring rate personally.

 

.9" of preload, sits level. Never really had issues bottoming out, but its been a while since Ive pushed it on dirt

 

how much are they asking for the coils?

 

$100

 

What length? I have 18" 600 lb springs for cheap $30 FOA Viper springs.

 

Anyone on here have issues with your coil-overs or bypasses smacking the mounts when turning super tight?

driving straight then I go to turn hard right into a parking lot and I can hear (what I believe because you can see the wear marks) the top and bottoms of both my coils and bypasses up front smacking the mounts on the frame or control arms.

I have remote reservoirs on both and keeping the hoses tighter where they mount keep it from happening so much but not into having those slowing down the twisting.

just curious if anyone had this issue and any solution. Thx

 

Have pictures?

 

Currently pouring rain but will
Update shortly

 

What mounts are you talking about? Coil bucket or custom top shock mounts?

 

So i did the Chevy 63” leaf swap a while back for better performance but now I’m looking to go SUA and it perform better. What would you guys suggest for a leaf pack that’s 63” eye to eye?

 

Custom top shock mounts

 

Give deaver a call and see if any of theirs will work. If not they can always make you a custom pack to best suit your needs
