Long Travel BS Thread

Or maybe the Deaver J66 pack with some 12 or 14" shocks like Fixedtrd has mounted.

 

X2 i remember seeing a thread on TTORA about that.

Edit:

 

It looks like to get LT springs Im either going to have to go into the bed or its going to be crazy expensive to do all the extra mounting work.. So for now Ill prob just have to stick with a progressive leaf pack... Oh and apparently it would make the rear way too high.. which makes sense.

 

omg yes! why didnt i think of this? that would be sooo much cheaper than welding on new spring mounts!

 

I would have to agree. Leafs are for trees

 

x2 on that. reason y i'm going linked hahaha

 

I swapped in chevy 63's, needed new front hangers and new shackles and hangars, but they are SOA, low ride height and flexy as all get out bc they are soooooooo long.

Paired with 14" 7100's...need some 16" if anyone has got 'em

 

Pics?

 

I will be doing a seperate thread for the swap soon. I still need to take a few more pictures but as soon as it was done I went wheeling and havent stop driving it for two weeks now :d

Brackets welded up:



Old shiat gone:



Axle relocation "plates" for stock perches:



Frame outrigger tacked:



Then I have no more pics until complete:



I moved the front hanger 4.75" forward from old location (moved axle 1/2" forward from stock), and used 6" shackles. I need to find my other pictures now...

 

Looks good

Will interesting to read a write up on them, I don't know if there are other threads on it, but yours is the first 2nd Gen I've seen with 63's

 

It is. It just made more sense staying SOA for what I use my truck for...

 

Few of you fellers in here:

For those of you who are thinking about picking up a light bar you better jump on it now before he runs out....

This is the same guy Krish and Ray picked up from

Great product!

 

WOW love the new light bar, your truck is so badass.

 

That looks awesome matt! i cant wait to get my truck back tomorrow
edit: you got the 32" as well right? it fits perfectly with the size of our grills

 

What brand is it?

 

its unbranded but based off of rigids, Ray has a RI bar and he couldnt tell the difference when he compared them.

 

thanks Will, one would look good with your bumper jus sayin

yea dude those guys are laggginnnn haha yup its the 32 lines up nicely

 

I am planning on picking one up .

 

awesome, our trucks are gonna look very similar, my new bumper is pretty close to yours
its really bugging me now, i was gonna pick it up friday, not done so i said whatever just keep it till monday and get it done right...monday night..not gonna be done.
i was driving past the shop a little while ago so i stopped by and he wasnt even back from laughlin yet. supposedly he will be back tomorrow morning so im expecting it to be done in the evening. the structural part is done. as far as i could tell they needed to mount the skid plate and the light tabs. its already painted, which didn't make sense to me oh well, its now been two weeks, it was supposed to be done in one...
