Long Travel BS Thread

Yea, I was suprised at how wide mine came out too. Shit goes past my glass fenders!

Already got a ticket for not having sufficient mudflaps....

 

I believe 35s will fit with my stock rear i just can't take it offroad till i get at least an aal. I found a deal on wranger duratracs for 220 a tire for 315/75r16

 

If your that worried about your truck you really shouldn't have gotten Long travel Be prepared to get some sweet pin stripping those bushes in the desert a vicious.

your acceleration is going to feel like shit with 35s, honestly, you're fine with 33s, unless you have enough bank to drop on gears. Everyone I know that has gone to 35s have felt the need to regear.

 

What kit do you have?

 

haha im going to rear gear in a few months. 33s look tiny on the engage kit though. i gues i can run 33s till they wear out then upgrade to 35s

 

in that case, get 35s!!! lol

 

haha Maybe i will. My spindles will be done tomorrow. And hopefully i can finish up the front.

I have to
Bleed the breaks
mount the resi's
Cycle the suspension
Limint straps welded
Wheels and tires mounted.

Anyone know of any Add a leafs for sale to get me by?

 

I ran 33's in the back with no lift or add leaf at all and no rubbing. I have an add a leaf now but only to help level when I did the front. Its not needed and will be taken out as soon as possible

 

Thank you for posting that.



Their design and fab skills are incredible.

 

That truck is a work of art. Those tires in the picture are 37's.

 

damn, I just read that whole thread. That's a crazy build and from scratch!

 

no doubt that build is great, and they did a fantastic job

but, IDK... the 37's just look too damn big. they make the truck look like those goofy avatar pics people had a while back of their shrunken truck and huge tires... not a fan, but damn i love the huge track width

 

I agree, however, I think it would be used more for crawling type trails versus high speed dune action. Either way great build.

 

yeah, but that's if they can get the axle situation figured out. anything over 3.5" per side makes things difficult beacuse it all has to be custom

engage has been trying to figure that shit out for 2+ years... and they still aren't done... and it's an out-sourced job

right now that dude is stuck w/ a 2WD truck

 

Yeah that's true I completely forgot about his axles. Yeah the perfect example of engage's situation is Aaron (blackhawke)

 

what's the word these days...? will you ever be 4WD again?

i say F-it... get race spindles

 

i've just been jamming broom sticks in there
