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

I'm well aware is an understatement.

 

VS full bump on the ADS. We just had to get the spring cup 1” higher.

 

Looks like the radflos were setup for dual rate. So that's probably why they use such a long body. Pretty much useless for us and our lack of space for packaging a longer bodied shock with the stock towers.

 

They were just wrong over all for our setup. They’re like 26” long. Body was super long. Only had an actual like 6.5” of travel available. Resi hoses short etc.
Honestly really pissed me off

 

This is why I wrapped my tank in a leather welding jacket when I did the Shock towers.

 

Also, fixed my gas cap woes while my wife was waiting in PreOp Thursday. Trimmed off the plastic flange and now it seats nice and good and no more CEL.

 

Rate this uptravel, -69 to 1 not intended to talk about anyone specifically, just interesting to see this setup.

 

was that done by a youtuber?

 

That fuck will argue all day about it with you. He has a special tape measure. People have already called him out on the marlin crawler page...he disappeared quickly after it didnt go well

My eyesight may be skewed, or maybe it's the angle of the camera, but it doesn't look like the secondary spring will even be engaged by the time he hits the bump stop.

That the red 3rd gen with the wrap?

 

yup... https://www.youtube.com/c/DirtLifestyle

 

Uptravel doesn’t matter, only likes and shares. Gotta create more vapid content as quickly as possible before someone else does.

 

May or may have heard those words

 

In defense of Nate. I made a comment on one of his videos about using the term "Engineered" and he did not respond but I don't believe he uses that term any more describing what he does. He is not afraid of having an idea and creating what he visions, he will also admit that when it does not work he will and has made the changes. To this particular build. He was way behind in his timeline due to difficulties getting the parts he wanted. He was just trying to get it together to make it to KOH. He probably had obligations to Marlin to be there. Perhaps he could have left the rear alone and address it after KOH. You also need to give him credit to move on from a very well paying commercial plumbing career and making a living doing what he enjoys. Especially when married with kids. I am sure the work load is significantly more now than just keeping his plumbing gig and buying or paying for some one else to do the work.

 

That's no excuse not to bow out and admit when you're wrong. Had he just said "Sorry this was a temporary stop-gap to get me to KOH on the timeline I was given" instead of arguing that it was good he wouldn't have gotten drug in the thread.

 

Yea he really buggered that rear up. He should have left it or may do a quick Chevy 63 swap if he wanted flex in the rear.
Who knows. Other than see what he does.

 

There should also be no expectation of him to respond to every comment or defend himself for anything he does.

 

Never said he had to, but he could've cut himself a slice of humble pie.

 

I would bet he feels he is just not going to go down that road. Easily becomes a pandoras box.
