Long Travel BS Thread

Thats what the guy advertised..they fit the measurements..and he said he removed 2 of the leafs..

 

Maybe its the photo. They just dont look very "arched"

 

Thats what I thought too..

He said he mounted them on his ranger..then took them off to beam it..

So I'm sure they have settled..

I'll see if I can find a part number..

 

I think All Pro puts the part number on the top side of the leafs. The part that would face the bottom of the bed. But i think its also painted on so it could have easily worn off

 

According to the AP website the Part # is 4550T-AP.

And (if they label them the same way as the expos) it should be on the top leaf in white writing

 

well most people go with the japan made DOM, if i go with the USA HREW its actually stronger than most DOM, unless you spend 11 bucks a foot and be a beast and go with the USA DOM.

i realize i dont want to cheap out on a cage, but im not going to spend 11 bucks a foot you know what i mean?

so i think im going to go with DOM. (the DOM that almost everyone uses)

 

If I did it I would stick with USA Dom. My life is worth more than 11 bucks a foot.

 

price out 4130 chrome moly, you will find that for not much more money you will get a much stronger material than DOM

 

Do any of you LT guys happen to know if something like the engage bed saver cage is do-able without adding fiberglass bedsides?

 

Sure can..might have to make a few tweeks but it can be done..

You should stop by my house sometime and do some fab with me..

 

Engage recommends glass, if not u'll have to roll ur bedsides. do it right, get fiberglass

 

Yea for sure man, im sorta in the same boat as you, gathering parts here and there lol...

 

Call or text me anytime..661-805-6719..we can kick it in my garage/shop and drink some beers..and make some cool stuff..

sick video

 

yes sick vid but whats that rattling noise?

 

its supposed to do that....
haha anytime you do lt shit will sound like its falling apart



okay guys im going to listen to you guys. 11 bucks a foot. 1 3/4 .125 USA DOM for the cage and for the engine cage were going to do 1 3/4 .090 DOM

going to the shop on the first.. bye bye truck for a while

 

that is the sound of bypass shocks on all four corners. Inside of each bypass tube is a ball bearing which works as a directional valve, and every time the shock changes direction the oil slams the ball into the cup resulting in a clack.
