10" travel 5150

Well here we go again. hahaha i am selling my Billie 5150's with the upper stem to eye converter. They only have about 1000 miles on them. I am just switching to a 12" travel. Asking 220 for both of them and the adapters.

 

now i'm more interested in these than the 5125

 

Hahahaha!

 

why are you going to the 12" travel?

 

Because with these, the shock bottoms out before the bump hits.

 

gotcha i dont think it will work for me

 

You said light to no off road right?

 

not me? i do go offroading

 

Hmm, thought it was. lol. well the 12" would probably be better for you.

 

yeah i think so too, i better just save for the 5160's

 

Ya i was thinking about running those too.

 

yeah they look sweet, well glws!

 

How much lift and what springs are you running?

Want to know if these will be well suited for a 3 leaf add a leaf 1.5" lift.

 

I have 3" in the rear. The allpro pack. Ya they should work no problem.

 

Just so I'm on the right page the shock is fully compressed before your bump stop hits?

Um a 12" is longer and would make the problem worse lol

 

Correct, but it is because of the converter. It is about 2" long. So i am switching to the same shock in a 12" but converting the top mount on the shock itself to a stem.

 

how much travel do stock TRD OR shocks have?

 

Um that won't work lol

if the 10" with and eye is 2" too long that equals a 12" shock (in over all size not travel numbers)

a 12" with a stem is going to be the same exact length as what you have now. What you need a 10" stem.

 

Ok well either way i need to run a different shock.

 

yes, I'm just trying to help you from buying another shock that makes the problem worse.
