Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

And like I said- pull the spacer out of the shock and run the high misalignment spacers if you want 14” ... I just can’t promise your CV’s will live forever

 

Right, it travels normally without the shock installed. That tells me that the shock or shock install is what is limiting travel to under the listed range.

Edit to clarify: I am simply taking the 14" listed range and seeing that 12-12.75" is not achieving that full range of motion so that tells me that something is not performing properly. That is all.

I 100% agree with your statement. I was just trying to offer some outside thoughts into troubleshooting the issue.

Maybe some pictures of the install?

 

Right I was waiting to see that happen knew it was only a matter of time

 

It goes metal to metal on the upper before I run out of shock on uptravel. But from metal to metal to 100% full shock extension its 12.75 with the spacer. Without the spacer I am still unable to achieve 14" because the outer heim binds on the tie rod. I get I can change the misalignment, but at full droop to near bind I only have maybe an 1/8 between the heim and steering arm on the spindle. Any more is asking to break a tie rod or something.

 

You simply clearance the end of the steering arm to clear the heim.

 

Good point. I guess I had just assumed that as is, it would cycle 14" no issue. Not pulling the limiter in the shock and getting different misalignments.

And FWIW, I'm not knocking anything. It's all nice stuff and it's still an awesome gain over factory. I'm simply just trying to get the numbers expected. I spent a shit load of money, so why wouldn't I try to get everything out of it?

 

well played my friend… well played.

 

@81Trekker does the bypass shock have the 1/2 inch limiter in it also??

 

25" is what i got in my 2.25 kit i will measure my ss line when i do the change over

 

It might be petty, but I’ve seen him bully others on here and I’m calling him out on his shit. No hard feelings, not trying to drag his name through the mud either. Just one bullshitter calling out another.

 

yall some funny ppl lol

 

Bruh, call me out all you want. It's going to take a lot more to get under my skin. 90% of people probably don't even cycle their stuff to check numbers so that's likely why it's not brought up much. I know I did everything I could and that's why I'm here.

 

That’s the same boat I was in when you made that comment. I had exhausted all my ability and came here for guidance. You had never laid hands on a kit and told me I should have had a shop do it because I was too incompetent. Not a nice way to operate.

 

Yet you seem to get butthurt pretty easily over shit. Real shops and techs know how to critically think through problems and don't get on a forum when there's a problem they call the person and walk through what's going on. They'll also send photos back and fourth to verify everything is right.

But what do I know I've just been doing this shit since I was 16......

You're friends with us soooooo.......

 

I tried calling 3x last week with no answer. I do see Harry tried to call today, however it'll be a bit before I can give him a shout back. With that said, I've had a few PM's on here from others running the kits that encountered the exact same situation I'm in. They just said oh well and sent it. This build has a pretty deep meaning to it and I want to make it as right as possible. And I don't think that's wrong of me.

 

Dat is true. I also dont take everything personally lol. Not that either of yall do lol but i know how TW is lol. We bull shit and know how to weed through it as a joke.

 

We have been out of town since Thursday so sorry we didn’t answer the shop phone. You also have my personal cell phone number and I have told you to please call it anytime you have questions. I’m not trying to call you out I’m just saying I have been 100% available this entire time and could have answered all of your questions in two minutes over the phone. I do the best I can to always make myself available so people don’t spend days going round and round trying to figure something out. I’m grateful that we have the forums to help answer questions but sometimes it’s best to go straight to the source.

I also don’t think it’s fair to say 90% of the people on here don’t cycle their stuff... if you’re invested in this thread and are purchasing our stuff you’re more likely the other 10%
