Long Travel BS Thread

Well finally got my haltech wrapped up and finished my dual filters. Now just gotta drop it off on Monday for tuning!

 

The PS pump will be the better choice between the two options. You’ll get more performance out of it than glass.

I really enjoy mine. Makes driving with 35s way easier. My only complaint is the low power output at idle, which I’m still working through. It’s not an issue with the pump itself but a byproduct of the installation.

 

Can’t you just tune idle up to 1000rpm or so?

 

Sure, find someone to tune the computer and no prob. The guy that tuned mine doesn’t want to touch the idle because he thinks the root cause is something else.

 

What filters are you running?

 

donaldson pcd’s. By there numbers they flow 25 ish percent more than a ump filter. The filter media is significantly larger in a very small area compared to the ump.

 

My coilovers finally showed up, I went and picked them up. They are 2.5" shocks and did not have top hats or brackets. Additionally, they are spr3-16-650 L22. What are your the thoughts on this? they say on the site that they are supposed to be 600lb springs. and I assume not supposed to be a 3.0 spring. I ordered on Sept 27, they ordered these Nov 29.

3 inch inner diameter of the coil, 650lb rate, 16 long. Here's an example of mine that I ordered on BF and got here couple days ago.

 

I was going off their website specs saying 600lb spring... Wish I got these from someone else. King told me they copy TC specs.

 

You can see mine are tc spec and are definitely different. SPR 3-16-600 L23

 

I clamped all four on mine to get rid of the light.

I second that, the Howe pump is 100% worth the cost.

 

Dirt King makes coil bucket adapter brackets for 2nd/3rd gens. 3” spring is for 2.5 body.

 

His should have come with it.
"King Shocks spec coilovers for WC LT Kit. This kit comes with a swt of spec King coilovers, 600lb springs, reservoir brackets, and WC top plate."

 

they spec'd 600 lb springs on their website but I got 650, I believe they'll be to stiff. They also said top hats were included.

 

they changed the spring specs on their website today and are sending me the brackets today... hope the 650s aren't too stiff. I'm done dealing with them.

 

I've got 650's on my +4 kit and they hold my ride height perfectly with almost no preload.

 

Good to know. Don’t need any preload on mine, I know I have to wrench down on the collar a little bit because the springs are loose in there now.

 

I run 650 on my current setup and its not too stiff. 700 was too much. The new kings I got are 600 but came with 1 inch preload. I shed a little weight so I hope its just right haha

 

they came with 5/8" preload and the spring is loose im gonna give them a tiny bit more and see what happens
