Long Travel BS Thread

Pleeeeeeeeeease

 

here’s my BTF setup:

 

what are you trying to achieve?

I have a set of Tundra shackles that I put new bushing in I’ll sell you for cheap.

I think they’re 3.7” length? Longer than stock but not as long as the Archive SUA

 

Do you happen to recall what they charged you?

 

Like a 1/2” drop in ride height

 

PM sent

 

I want to say like $700 for everything, I dropped the truck off Lateand picked it up the next morning

 

What length shackles do you have?

 

Remember a longer shackle is going to push the spring forward as it moves. Not really ideal to lower the truck that way. Better option would be a shackle flip setup. Or just leave it be because it LOOKS fine.

 

pretty sure its the 3.6" PM coming

 

True but I figured since this truck isn’t seeing big numbers anyways that it’s not the end of the world. And it’s not a huge amount either.

 

whats a ball park cost for a shop to install a DMZ SUA?

 

I was quoted $1200 for a shop but their response was "we never done anything like this but we'll give it a shot". Needless to say i didn't use that shop.

Ended up paying 2k for extended rear brake lines, frame box, and removal of stock bed mounts at a different shop.

 

I'm assuming it comes with a bolt in bed cage, which means cutting off the front leaf mounts, rear hangers, and the shock mounts on the frame and axle, installing new hangers, cutting holes in the bed, installing the bed cage, breaking apart the leaf pack, setting pinion angle and shock mount location, cycling for shocks and bumps, welding perches and shock mounts in, and then paint, reassembly of leaf pack and install, and replacing rear brake lines and bleeding brakes. That's assuming no hydrobumps, I'd probably quote around 18 hours or so, just as a reference.

 

Tim told me they don't even do installs anymore, but he would charge 40hrs of labor to install that kit.

 

I spoke to Tim as well. He said that’s including bed cage frame box ETC

 

@906taco did you buy a raptor?

 

My bedcage has about 16 hours in it, frame boxing and install/cycling cleaning/painting I've got around 16-20. First one I've ever done or probably will do so I'm sure it could be done quicker

 

I would drive that one!
