Long Travel BS Thread

Little awkward to store or transport though. I've been getting the large lube boxes with the spigots and filling whatever I need to.

 

The convenience and ease of use trumps everything imo. Especially when you consider these bags will fit places that require a hose on a bottle. Also, less plastic for the greenies.

 

Thinking of getting one of these, my drill transfer pump died

I've been using the same HF one forever, one day it'll give out, it acts like it wants to when I pump 85-140, but so far it's still holding up

 

Called king today about purchasing trim tubes, got told to kick rocks due to “liability issues”. So if anybody might have a connection it would be very much appreciated. Otherwise I’m going to have my buddy start machining for me.

And just bend the tube for the long part yourself.

 

You’re the man. I never even thought to check Kartek! Thank you!!

 

Holy hell those clicker knob adjusters are expensive…could be 1k in parts just to add one tube to both shocks…lol

 

Yeah they are! I’m just going to do the gold valve free bleeds. Should help it drop back out of the bump zone quicker too.

The valving for a super plush ride with SUA is actually fairly heavy. At least on my truck. So now the bump zone is too much in both directions. Maybe I’m smoking crack and it won’t work. But you don’t learn not trying.

 

Pretty sure freebleeds have no directional sensitivity if installed in a rebound tube.

I have no first hand exp with freebleeds tho

 

That is correct. Really no sensitivity in either rebound or compression.

 

Why don't more companies offer SUA kits?

Is is that the people who are actually looking for real travel are skipping leafs and linking?

 

Really want to get your truck out with mine sometimes because every time we talk we have drastically different opinions lol. I’m still rocking 15/8 valving with a heavy truck and the longest shackles I’ve seen and think it works great.

 

Dunno what to say. But I’m way heavier on both sides of the piston and have my free bleed tube about half closed. I will say, I have a lot of sharp edged terrain and it requires lots of compression and rebound.

@Lucas2297 has experienced it at 70mph if he wants to chime in on how it drives.

 

It’s a relatively small market and there’s already a handful of offerings out there. What don't you like about the current offerings?

 

haven't tried this with oil that thick but can't see why it wouldn't work with some clear vinyl tube, just more slowly i guess

Just always curious why TC hasn't offered one. I guess they make enough off the front kits they don't need to.

 

If anyone is interested in my JDFab kit.

I think lots of it boils down to selling a product that does irreversible stuff to your vehicle. That fancy “liability” word again.

Also, from what I’ve heard. TC even has Govt contracts. Likely upfitting special ops vehicles.

 

And I have a slide rack with +4 tierods for sale to match!
