Long Travel BS Thread

So far so good here, but haven't done any crazy flexing yet.

 

Please trim those self tappers. I can feel my knuckles bleeding just looking at this lol.

 

What are you cycling? The lower shock mount on the axel or the trailing arm?

 

I didn't see that at first, then got full body shivers.

 

He’s on the axle with crawler style linkage...wayyyy more ground clearance for a do-it-all rig for sure

 

Thinking that's the direction I want to go with my rig in the next stages. I play in the rocks too much to have massive trailing arms or do an SUA, but like to run Baja or Ocotillo at moderate speeds.

 

Absolutely more of an overall beneficial set up for sure. The one thing that kept me with traditional links is that I did not want to penetrate my bed with the CO's.

 

My new +4 kit being fab'd by @81Trekker at JD Fab :

 

Oh, I'm well beyond the point worrying about penetration. I'm all in at this point.

 

Since I have a camper shell and the primary offroad usage for my truck is surf missions ( some snow missions actually too ) I need that stupid small bed space sealed and clean for all my stuffs when traveling. We have been tent camping with an annex style set up with mattress in the bed/shell for years but now that we have a kiddo my girl finally sees the point of an RTT so I think a hard shell RTT will be in my future too...

...don't forget to use protection young man

 

Makes absolute sense. It is nice to have a somewhat clean storage place for gear, etc. My bed cubbies fell out so I have no dust barrier between the wheel well and the bed but I also don't use it as a sleeping platform. Everything is application.

Oh, I never forget my seatbelt!!! We are still talking about truck right?

 

More than I'll ever use, and way more than the 14" up front.

Originally wanted to do trailing arms, but this is way more straight forward.

Have rivets to go in, but still thinking about a removable option, just been lazy lol

 

dumb question, but does anyone have their stock LCA's laying around that they could take a measurement and a picture of

 

I have a set sitting at the place where my truck's at.

 

I need a picture of the rear LCA cam bolt hole with a measurement

The company I'm (and @CalTacoma09) dealing with says that there is a removable sleeve and that it's 3/4" ID

 

By this weekend I'll have an opportunity to give you any measurement from stock lowers you need.

 

Doh, found a couple more cracks. Driver rear Lca pick up. The one closest to rack goes all the way up. Where's that Mig at..

 

Found a couple more where rear x member welds to frame.

 

Are these big enough?


Now who has a lead on a set of 2.5x12 triple bypasses.

 

Depends on what you’re trying to compensate for...
