Long Travel BS Thread

I run a bed and anything that dumps before or under it reverbs terribly... I still run rocks a fair amount so I don't think I could kick it out under the frame to the side.

 

Yeah there’s no way I could dump to the side. Would be nice though. I have the fuel cell plumbed so I’ll find out soon what I’m in for haha

 

You will not enjoy the noise. I just went from a Magnaflow 4" round dumped just before the axle and hated it. I went to a Magnaflow 5" x 8" in the same position and am SO much happier. You can still here it but its tolerable.

The 2.25" slides right into the existing pipe if you cut right after the flange and weld them together.

I will snag one of those. Good looking out!

 

If you can, run it above and side exit right after the capped part of the original frame on both sides. you'll have to check clearances with your upper links.

 

Mount the shocks further forward on the axle, Maybe have ta tie the mount into the lower link mount a bit. Then add a plate towards the back of the stock spring perch and bump stop there

 

lol didn't see what post you quoted when you asked about which truck it was:

Yeah most race trucks run their exhaust right where our doors would open lol

 

On the return to center topic, going to fresh uniballs after my destroyed ones and driving the truck on the road today, it definitely resists returning to center a noticeable amount. Never noticed when the kit was new. And not really a big deal for me. I just remembered this comment from earlier in the week and it caught my attention today

 

Most of y’all will lol at this, but this is probably my favorite piece of the whole build. I bent and notched it perfectly the first time which was very satisfying given the learning curve with tube. Tying the sliders into the cage really felt like it unified the whole thing.

 

Well I certainly hope you understand that the resale value of that truck is just gone now...

 

Nice work!

 

Hell yeah now just replace the rest of the legs of the sliders

That thing is looking really good bud! A hell of leap since I saw it just a couple weeks ago.

 

Knew I shouldn’t have ditched the six cd changer

 

Feel like I’m on the home stretch. If I did everything right with the fuel cell it’ll go for a test drive this weekend.

 

Hell yeah still have a few more weekends to do a test run before KY

 

And find a trailer haha might be pushing it with all that. Are you set on a date?

 

March 18th just rent a Uhaul.

 

Sheeet. That’s pushing it. Maybe if nothing explodes. I’d like to get comfortable hauling it before jumping straight to Kentucky.

 

Only way to do that is to do it.

 

Shoooooot, hauling is easy. Be mindful of your surroundings, don’t go very fast, leave extra braking distance and swing wider on turns.
