Long Travel BS Thread

You know it.

 

A recall a little bird telling me no flutter and wide open on the free bleeds. We probably won't be going hard enough to turn em up.

 

Depends on the famous adage - what size and is he charging any more than a new set of adjustable smoothies would be?

 

Definitely more than smoothies haha.

 

Who is it? Prices are ridiculous. I paid around $4k for front and rear bypasses, long travel dual rate coilovers, and front and rear bump stops all in new condition except rear bypasses and included the price of rebuild parts on them. I couldn’t do that now without having someone hook me up somehow. I mean $2100 right here:

I’m definitely anxious. The wait is going to be pretty brutal though. But it’s good that I ordered when I did. Was told by someone today king is now 50 weeks out.

 

‘Twas me for my ADS triples. Haven’t formally listed them yet since they’re still on the truck and I hate to get rid of them but they’re too big for my archive towers. And yep, that’s about what I’ve seen 14-18” 2.5s going for lately. Even 12” bypasses are upwards of $1400 for used I’ve been seeing.

 

What length are they?

 

They’re 2.5x14.

 

Are the JD kits running 14's? I think so right?

Idk - for a full 18-19 of travel bypasses will improve performance - on SOA or up front with a 2.0 smoothie out back not worth it, but a nice SUA I guess it's another $6-700?

 

Yep, JD kit runs a 14". They fit even better with a welded rod end, which these ADS triples have. I wanted to go with their full kit, but parts and labor with leafs and without shocks is 6k, which I don't have. My wallet aches enough from this 2+ kit I'm waiting on shocks for.

 

Sheit, y’all gotta bring back some 1st gen builds - all parts from TC are less than a grand, then springs, bumps and shocks and you can do it for $4k or so.

Some guys on here might recognize this

I sold those shocks to that guy for $1700 about 6 weeks ago. He even using my photo.

 

Is there a market for 14" 2.0 Fox? I picked some up for a song and dance to use as parts but if I can turn a profit then I'll rebuild them and post them.

 

Retail on those is under $2k with the recent price increase. I'm all for a capitalist market but there comes a point that I don't agree with.

 

What ya'll say a fair asking price is for ADS 2.5x14 triples? I forget the exact price I paid but it was between $18-1900 back in 2018. I'd prefer to get close to what I paid, so I'd rather ask high and get haggled down to fair market than lower ya know what I mean. ADS has gone through a price increase too, order off their website, they start a 2.5x14 triple at $1,249 per shock ($2,498 pair). Definitely not trying to make close to that for my used shocks, but I'd be happy to save someone time and money off buying new

 

$5

 

All in good fun

 

It comes down to condition and how bad they need them. I know your ADS are in good shape but I'm making a generalized statement. You also have to take into consideration the demand in the market. People may be willing to pay a bit more to avoid the wait. I personally haven't experienced this but I understand how it could happen.

I find that 30% off current pricing, ready to go, is a decent value that people are willing to deal with. If they need work (service, etc) then you obviously need to account for those costs in the listing price. So in your situation right around $1750.

 

Yeah I’m thinking about $1800 is fair not including shipping. They’re in pretty good shape, plenty of life before a rebuild is necessary. My market challenge is everyone is looking for king and fox so just gotta find someone who wants ADS
