Long Travel BS Thread

wait...the bypasses or the chicks at the mall ?

 

yes

 

On the subject of silence, has anybody tried Kings IBP shocks? I have them in 16" on the back and like them, but I do wish I had gotten regular bypasses to be able to adjust rebound. These basically just have a progressive bump zone in the last several inches of stroke, which is nice too, without the noise.

 

Until you have a roll cage tied into an engine cage and/ or bed cage, bypass clicking is way over exaggerated. That said, when you do have all of that, man can it get noisy. Riding around in @DMCtacoma truck last month made mine sound like we were riding around in a road car. I also only have 6 bypass tubes and he has 16

 

I tell you what, my ADS bypasses are loud in the back and that's without cage. I'm pretty sure I have the loudest valves available, but I don't mind it so much in the back (racetruck noises). Like above, if I had a full roll cage, that'd be insane.

 

if you have buyers remorse...

 

If you got money for bypasses you got money for some sort of an intercom system and/or adequate sound deadening too
if any of you don't like your bypass noise that much i'll gladly take em from ya

 

Quite frankly I don’t have enough bypass noise. If I didn’t just buy a trailer then I’d be more willing to make a deal on my rear bypasses to make way for some 3.0” 5 tubes.

 

It's alright man i'm just trying to mess with you guys, easy to get jealous of yall in the west. Don't really need bypasses anyway i just got a set of fox 2.5-14s with the dsc adjusters, not quite long travel yet but it will be good for me for a while hopefully. Not many places with big whoops and that stuff out here

 

I'm going with their 2.25 kit, looking forward to it. Probably going to do the LCA tab kit eventually, but not yet. Mine are still in surprisingly good shape.

Do you know what the specifics on the shocks are? It looks like they have a shorter rod end than the usual 2.5x8 "LT" style shocks.

 

looks like a standard length

 

word.

I know the TC ones are a little different than usual.

 

This guy thought he could wait too...



Pretty sure its just a standard rod end, the lower coild seat overlaps the rod end a bit so it makes it look short

 

@tacotunner06 think I found you

We use the standard rod ends

 

Yeah I think my truck takes home the win for the loudest bypass noises inside the cab

 

Come ride in our 6100 truck... the King 4.5” 6 tube bypass shocks will make your ears bleed

 

I just turn up the music. On the freeway it's completely drowned out.
