Long Travel BS Thread

Nice

 

Well I’m out too I guess. Decided to measure and everything has settled for my rear now at about 9.5” of up. Still not bad out of leafs though with no frame notch.

 

Yeah for 62” springs that’s good - Anthony250 has 8.5 ish that keeps him level with lift spindles which I’m hoping will allow me to get more around 7-8 once I have time / money to upgrading to HD’s or an aal.

 

Yeah I run a taller ride height for ground clearance since I play in the rocks from time to time

 

That's what I want to do with the JD spring under kit, run a taller ride height for clearance with the inverted shackle, I'll probably bump a little lower since I'm not going through the bed with the shocks. Edit: just depends how high I can re-mount the them.

 

With our shock mounts the shocks stay under the bed and the axle bumps on the frame

 

Does that mean there’s no cutting of the bed?

 

Little bit of cutting it looks like

 

Short bed looks nice - @Supra4x4 is king bed tho. Wonder how much of a dea breaker that might be.

 

the crossbar is optional from what Harry has said in the past.

 

Somebody did it on a long bed. Its in the JDfab thread somewhere.

 

Can anyone comment if these are custom made or someone sells them? Have been going at it with the cutting and mixing of fiberglass and plastic but would much rather buy a proper cap for there- am also going the tube winged front bumper look

 

running4tacos makes stock width ones, I know. Not sure if they'd make any wider, but those are plastic not fiberglass. It might be an easier way to make that section though.

Dang really I could have sworn these are extended fenders https://www.instagram.com/trdpro_pugz/

Looks like I'll keep doing what I was doing, the angles look good but its so finicky

 

100% fiberglass. Seen the truck in person.

 

I have the kit, I just haven't been able to get it installed yet...

 

I wanna see it. I just sent Harry a PM about booking a time to drop my truck in the shop to have the conversion done.

 

Does anyone local to the Penninsula (bay area) able to help me rebuild some Stock to +2 LT axles or know a shop with a quick turnaround? Down to do it but have not before so a second set would be nice since its looks to be a big PIA. Besides welding the clevis and axles the rest I'm good on. Leaning towards having someone just do it so I can get to installing but also want to have a run at it. Figure if I am going to change the motor mounts (picked up some solid offroad) now is the time to dig in.

 

I've got photos and whatnot of the parts on my build thread a couple pages back.
EDIT: I must be tired, I never posted them...
