Long Travel BS Thread

I’m gathering part numbers and such to replace all the uniballs & heims for my LT Kit — camburg was super helpful in ensuring I had the right FK part numbers.

It’s about $745 total on their site vs $555 on summit racing.
Camburg comes with all new snap rings for each uniball — summit does not as far as I can tell.

do y’all recommend putting in new snap rings when I replace them? Or should the original ones be fine if they aren’t damaged obviously

 

Yes same factory color and doing modified OE Toyota graphics to fit my fenders

 

I have reused the same snap ring IF they are not damaged and seat correctly. It's a gamble though because if you do end up with a damaged one you'll have to order.

 

Just found snap rings only on Camburg. Think ill order the snap rings and some bolts I need from them and the rest from summit.

 

This thing is so rad! Hope to catch ya out there at KOH!

Ty for the response !
I’ll check out your link later today.

 

Question for the group, specifically anyone who has done the JD inner fenders. Ever since I put in the inner fenders I've been having this reoccurring issue.

If the engine bay gets wet (drive through a big puddle, take the truck to a car wash, etc) the windshield wipers kick on full blast and I can't get them to turn off. Eventually they stop themselves but it takes awhile. I'm assuming I pinched a wire or exposed a circuit somewhere during the install but not sure where to start. Any input is appreciated!

 

This is freaking epic!

 

Badass

 

Been too busy installing the dual cases to switch the front coils until yesterday.



But the answer to the dilemma I was having with the 650# 16 inch coils having a gap to the preload collar at full droop was DEFINATELY 550# 18 inch coils.



I'm at bearly any preload and ride height appears to be where I want it. But I need to mount all the skid plates and take another look.

Now to build the transfer case skid and hopefully get the front adjusted a bit more before we leave for Hammers on Wednesday.

 

Happy to see the 550s are going to work out. Have fun at KOH!

 

I’m finally very happy with my truck! HD70 with an added leaf then #5 removed. Handled everything I threw at it and the ride was very good.

 

Hey anyone know of someone with some front cv outers or anything at the lake bed at hammers? Need to turn my truck into 2wd and need a set of outers for the bearings. @Airdog @81Trekker

 

Maybe hit up RCV booth?

 

they only have their axles. Just need a set of oe axles so I can cut them apart and make my truck 2wd for the week.

 

What was the purpose behind doing an added lead and then removing #5? You may have answered this before but I don't recall.

 

Ended up driving to yucca valley and picked up some axles from oreillys. Dude gave me a hammers discount and they where like half off….

 

blow up your front diff ?

 

I have a set of prerunner front bearing assemblies from my conversion sitting around in perfect shape if you needed them.
