Long Travel BS Thread

but the reason people do that is because the front out performs the rear when stock, but since i have alot of weight hanging off the back of my truck my truck almost rides at full droop.... make sence?

 

Do you mean it rides at almost full bump?

 

Who said it couldnt be done

 

And what couldnt be done...installing a coilover on stock suspension

 

have you been able to drive the truck with the full cage completed and let everything settle? make sure the truck settles first. then make the call on which you want to do first.

 

Could someone educate me on placement/length of rear shackles in relation to travel (up/down) and lift height?

 

I think he installed A coilover that would work with a lt kit on stock suspension? thats my guess

 

Yeah it's a 8 in coil on stock UCA and lca

 

ay how many pounds of torque should my uca uniball bolt be at? I can't remember and I want to retorque everything

 

i mean the front rides almost full droop because the back has alot of weight hanging off it. the rear isnt really that close to full bump.

and i didnt really think about that, the cage will be adding alot of weight in front of the rear axel, along with my fuel cell etc so that will change how the front rides...

thanks ill find that out on halloween

 

Anyone going to the PokerRun in Barstow? Nov.5-6 http://www.barstowpokerrun.com/index menu.html

 

Sounds like fun I was out there this weekend its a fun place to ride/offroad if a bunch of TW people are going I will come out

 

People have said it wouldn't work, it's a 8" coilover for long travel, it's not a bolt in.

 

so sexy

 

It will "fit". I believe what most people said is it wont cycle correctly and you will lose bump travel because the shock collapsed length is so big

 

I think if you use a shorter top plate you will be fine compressed but you will need to strap it

 

Ah ha, I see what you are saying now

 

yeah so idk... and i cant finish my bed cage untill i get the rear lted... idk il wait till after the cage is completely done cause alot of weight will go in front of the axel

 

there's your answer right there. rear first, that way all your cage work can be done and over with.

plus, the "harder" of the suspension work will be done too. alot more custom work is needed to LT the rear. the front is easy, the majority of it is bolt on

 

okay thanks, ill go that route.
