Long Travel BS Thread

Mine took about 8 days....but then i also did the rear with archive upper mounts and installed a locker and rebuilt the rear brakes and boxed the rear frame out at the same time...

 

Yeah outboard up top as well. Its a Currie 9" rear axle to match the +3.5 LT up front. Didn't have time to pull leafs this weekend... ugh

 

It never left.

It's the current LT kit I offer.

 

Okay so I’m new to all this and have some questions, so my truck came with a two inch level kit, I want to up grade my suspension I’m not sure what I need or where to start, anyone have any suggestions?

Wouldn't want to pigeon hole you into saying you should go this way or that way - have a few hours to kill I'd say read all you are able to before making a decision.

 

Thank you I’ll take a look.

 

Cool to hear. I used to recommend your kit a few years ago, but I thought the shop had shut down.

 

LT life

 

Recently received my new headlights for a similar reason. Ps I think you skipped leg day

 

Link to seller?

 

I went with these.

A little more than a stock replacement but they look good and should be a decent lighting upgrade from stock for daily driving.

 

Trying to fix a

$13 M12X1.25 mm Self-Locking Nylon Insert Hex Lock Nuts, Pack of 6

M12X1.25 bolt (caliper/spindle bolt) and spindle thread. Anybody has a tap & die set with that size? Cheapo Freight and Amazon specials don't come with that size.

 

McMaster Carr will have any length you need and probably give you a pack of 10 for less than 2 or 3 at any other place. Could upgrade all to grade 8 / 10 for metric zinc coated while you do it

 

Are you talking about the bolts?
I got the bolts. I need to fix the thread on the spindle as well.

Found the die and flute separate.

 

Ah, I ended up buying a gearwrench tap and die set however even though it has a good selection of sizes, that is a tough to find size in a set.

 

Gonna have to buy a small set and buy those separate I guess.

 

Sure, McMaster has everything. Hope you like waiting for 2 months lol

 

I got my stuff the next day when I ordered last week

Also living 3 miles from the will-call is a perk, but no will call with the distancing deal these days.

 

Damn. I cancelled my order recently because they couldn’t ship it out for months
