Long Travel BS Thread

Got some pics on hand?

 

2g and 3g cabs are the same right?
Was doing some looking at the te designs cage. But it only fits 2nd gen

 

ya, let me go snap a few, I just cleaned out my server for old pictures

 

here ya go, more than likely moving the tool box out a bit to fit a 17 gallon aux fuel tank, and then moving the co2 tank from the cab to where the vp fuel can is and tie in all bed mount points.

 

Pretty sure the dirtking bed cage also bolts in the same way. And I’m sure others do as well. No real issue with it. Upgrade to grade 8 and do heavy wall DOM tube sleeves between the bed and bed cage for extra rigidity.

 

Hell yeah thanks, 16 inch shocks?

 

yes, 2.5 x16 triples

 

Before I ripped my truck apart for 4 link
My bedcage was set up on those 4 bolts
We had to add a spacer to make it more stiff under the bed between the frame but otherwise it held up perfectly

 

I think my application/abuse level would probably be sufficient for a setup like this

 

2.5's?
Interesting your tubes are on the inside.

 

I built a bed cage with shocks mounted to it and ran it for years. It used the bed bolts closest to the cab, but I welded tube to the frame with a flange under the bed, and the bed cage landed to that and pinched the bed just for extra clearance inside the bed. Never had a problem.

 

oooh ya forgot about your bedcage....Still have it?

 

We need Inconel 718 heat treated up to 44 RC or some such nonsense.

 

Shock Question: Finned resi or no finned resi?

Anyone convert a standard piggy back to a finned resi?

 

I'll be Arleta, CA next week for work.
Any Toyota/LT/race/etc shops relatively near there I should go visit?

 

Gotta pick up a 1.5 die for my bender now

 

The volume of oil in a resi at any given time isn't huge. Even King says it's just a aesthetic thing... so do you like how they look?

 

I prefer SM-100 NiTiNOL

 

No not really , funny you see them on a lot of trophy trucks though.
