Long Travel BS Thread

through who?!?

 

ok so im going to go with this kit... http://giantmotorsports.com/content/view/40/50/ .... and im not going to do SUA because of the clearance when i go wheeling.


Jnegri, why not go with the deaver 62s? or will they be fine if i dont go SUA


man i could get this kit right now... i dont want to spend my money on a dam DD car...

 

bro... that kit IS a SUA kit... thats the only way to get a true long travel leaf sprung suspension. you WANT up travel... you have to get SUA

with what you are planning to do to and with your truck... you will be wasting time and money is you go with a leaf over axle set up

 

fuck now i have to think.. i dont think it will be that much of a clearance issue when wheeling right?

thanks for correcting me i didnt have time to look at the kit.

thank god for tacomaworld, i wouldnt know what i would do

 

unless you are planning to run KOH, you are not going to have clearance issues...

SUA is a tried a true. it works

 

ok sounds good thank you matt

 

Ive heard a lot that the Deavers just sag faster than All Pro's 50T. They are both good pruducts though

 

okay thanks JD ill look more into it

A bump for Defined. You are in the same boat I am, just different models. I think I will end up going SUA for what I want to do as well, even though I enjoy the rocks and slow speeds over the dunes.

 

here's good SUA vid for you Eric

saw this, thought it was a good deal!

coil overs, bypasses, and LT kit for 3k

 

If you end up getting 17 or 18"s out of your springs you would have to angle the shocks slightly for 16" shocks to swing the axle 18"s. I would think 18's to be safe but I think NelsonMatt has 16" rear shocks right? What are you strapped at in the rear for travel Matt?

 

if your shock angle is correct you can push a set of 14" Travel Shocks to give you 18" of rear travel, but its damb close, with 16" Travel Shocks you can easily get 18" and more, all depends on your geometry and if you plan on running your leaf pack in the green or push it to the red during travel....Geometry is the hint and proper shock consumption during travel....EngageOffRoad....909-238-6788

 

Engage... open a shop in Colorado.

 

i'm running 16" shocks and have my rear end strapped at 17".

it pulls just over 18"

 

bummer dude, somebody stole your bed...

up travel is your friend... you want as much as you can get

 

Awesome seeing all those new parts. Have fun with the project.Those racerunners look badass.

 

dude... i know it was a joke lol

get as much up travel out of those leafs that you can before you hit the bumps... IDK how much that will be
