Long Travel BS Thread

sounds like a soild plan!

are you guys going to be buying exclusively all new parts or are you going to buy used parts if you come across any good deals? that would save some cash and possibly expand the build plan..

 

Thank you, I think Aaron really came up with some good ideas.. I will be stalking the classifieds for deals, I have no issue with buying used as long as its a good deal and in pretty good condition.. Most the prices above are in-between what I would pay used / new.. None of this is rock solid yet, but chances are looking good.

 

Hey guys does anybody know who ran the defined rear LT kit with OEM replacement shocks? it was a SWB truck. he posted up in here a while back about it but i just cant find it

^thanks matt, why did he do that? just the increased up travel? what other benefits did it give him?

 

more travel than stock SOA and ability to build in stages. i'm pretty sure now he's running a 14" FOA shock

 

looks awesome man, i think i need to pick one of those bad boys up

 

So after making an excel sheet to compare... I can get the entire rear set up aaron thought of (shackle flip, leaf pack, 10/12" shocks, shock hoop, bumps) for LESS than what JUST the defined kit would cost me with no upgraded shocks..

Hahah that's great.

 

Thanks! Ya it would fit your new bumper well, who fabbed it up frontline?

 

So those of you who have gone sua, are you happy with the setup or if you could do it again would you stay soa and do it differently? If so how?

 

up travel better size leaf pack

 

greater amounts of travel

Stand by while I find the proper photos for description ...

 

it doesnt.... there is more distance between axle and strike place for bump stop

 

because its not like your using the stock leaf pack and just re locating it, its a pack with a really big arch....

 

truth

 

Here's the best description of the 2...

SUA...


Notice how the wheel stays on the ground...too experience the same thing on a 5-Lug you'd need to install the TC 5-Lug rear LT leafs then you'd see a difference!
