Long Travel BS Thread

Oh also pro tip. If you run Dirk Kings bypass hoops (or probably any hoops) make sure your upper control arm bolt is facing the same way it does from the factory (coming in front to back).

I removed mine when I did upper control arms and had to cut off the bolt and flip it because I couldn’t get it out. Well with the hoop one of the tubes is in the way and I couldn’t remove the bolt. Had to cut it again and install the factory direction.

 

You're 100% sure all three were open? King pre-drills the holes but they use set screws to block them off. I'd make sure before putting back together. Also, what size bleed holes? Did you measure them?

 

Truck looks so good. You're not running bypasses, correct?

 

Yep. All open. Funny because I was going to post this pic but the other one looked better. I left them all open. I’m pretty sure they were bigger than my rear bypass bleed hole but I spaced measuring. Was in a hurry to get it back together before I was totally soaked by rain.

 

yep. The bypasses are still sitting on the shelf. I’ve had them 3 years and still haven’t made it on the truck. I don’t wanna start shock tuning over, but it could get so much better.

 

Better in some aspects. Might not be the best for your application though and the truck works really well as is.

 

I sanded the flanges down in one spot very lightly. I can still get them in back to front. Drivers side is a bit of a PITA with the fuel lines there. It still works.

Hot damn I think dodge is onto something with these TRX trucks. Thoroughly shocked me how well it did in the rough stuff. And majorly jealous of the hp.

 

yea 700hp vs probably the 250 your pushing at best

 

I’m hopeful thinking that I’m closer to 300 at the tires. Someone with a similar tune and 33’s but stock gearing dyno’d at 335 ish. I was surprised by how bad he didn’t beat my by in the drag race haha.

 

TRX is like $87k right?

 

Not a chance with 37’s 4x4, and 10.5 rear end… especially not if it’s an auto

 

Are those TRX's supposed to be 700hp to the tires? or at the crank?

 

everything is always at the crank.

 

Figures. Wonder what it is at the wheels. Those TRX's have big rear ends too and aren't light so I would imagine a good percentage drop.

 

I’ve seen a 100% stock one on a load bearing dyno put down 567hp

 

Msrp but they’re going for closer to $120k out the door. At least that’s about what he said he paid.

You be quiet with your hopes and dreams crushing logic.

He had a smaller pulley and custom tune. Sucked you back in the seat pretty good even on dirt. Bumpers skids and winch he was probably 1500lbs heavier than me. I was just happy he didn’t absolutely walk away in the drag race

 

maybe 87k with a 50k markup.

 

Msrp means nothing anymore. I was calling todays “challenge” the 6 figure built not bought challenge.






And slap a cage, harnesses, and “mid travel” kit on that TRX and you have a freaking trophy truck lol.

 

you jumped the start. Don’t lie.
