Long Travel BS Thread

You can't have your cake and eat it too. I'm sure a distributor will have those in stock without the lead time. Kartek, Downsouth, etc. You're probably not going to get the homie hookup though. It's one or the other.

 

I'm running them on my rear tabs after I had to Sawzall the bolts. I did a self alignment. Thinking of taking it to a tape measure shop

 

I have the TC ones on my truck. Haven't taken the truck to alignment yet..good question though. LOL

 

You could only change alignment from removing uca (if your uppers are heimed) or lca bolts so doubtful unless you get lucky with a shop that will take that time to do so - to get spec'd alignment you'd either get lucky or have to use heimed uppers. IDK how shops would manage with the amount of time it will take vs simple factory cam setups. It would be nice though

 

So could you use the stock cams and get a good alignment then come home and swap in the cam tab deletes to lock it in? I guess I could actually call poly performance lol

Just looking for practical solutions on keeping a damn alignment for longer than a month, its a real bitch.

I dont want to go heimed uppers, I mostly DD so I dont have the need for it.

 

Only if one of the plates is close enough to call it good. You might be able to make your own though

 

Or do what I did, get an alignment that you’re happy with using the stock cams. Come home and weld the cams in place.

 

I made my own tabs and have heimed uppers, install everything>alignment>adjust uppers, repeat until happy.

 

I'm getting new 17s with 35s, what backspacing and wheel width are you running with your LTs?
Currently have 16s on 35s but they hit the spindle lip where they tie rod bolts.

Edit: forgot to mention I got the LSK kit with fabricated spindles.

 

Badass. Just get 17’s with 4.5-3.5 backspacing. Just had to get all new wheels to replace the 6 new wheels I already had due to stuff happening too. Always something haha.

 

No shit, I've had 16s forever, got the kit never realizing I'd need bigger wheels. (Website doesn't specify nor I ever asked)....Spent all day yesterday cycling suspension, finalizing brakes and minor details. When I go to put the wheels on.... FML. Lmfao

 

Scs Ray 10’s. 17x9 with 3.5” backspacing. Plenty of clearance for anything you need.

 

Checking...

Edit: are they made of military grade aluminum? For that price maybe I'll consider some methods.

Good old $160 Pro Comps FTW.

 

I have 17 ray 10’s for

Will be selling these for $400 picked up - $450 to you (I think you're in OC?)

@Rakso plus another black factory finish one for $500/$550

SCS Ray 10 17" 4.30 backspacing painted w/ Rusto oil based (were from scratch / blemished SCS thread)

Price might go up outside of this offer in other threads idk we'll see. They're just holding up my truck - no miles on them. Still have unpainted hardware. Hub bore was too small (aftermarket axle) only reason I'm selling.

 

Ooh interesting color

 

Thanks - I got them in different colors for a big discount so had to paint to match - they were going to go with my brown / bronze color scheme I planned on for my truck but now I don’t even know if it’ll ever be completely one color haha

2nd gen steering pump upgrade.

I guess 16s fit.

 

I'd be interested if he doesn't want them, I might powder coat them for my truck and sell my stealth 6's

 

If you like your settings as-is, you match the cams as best as you can to the provided tabs. Provided that your bushings are in good condition, nothing is bent or out of place, my assumption is that specific settings will allow similar results for the same model vehicle. I went with recommended settings and it was spot on. Firestone did mine and I just told them to adjust toe which is the only thing left. No issues.

 

I made my own tabs. Got a good alignment, measured the bolt locations, and made plates out of 1/4" steel.

Held for years, until I bent the ears on the frame.
