Unless you stole them for Jen's truck they should still be there

Sign up campers and offroaders!

 

pump more nitro in your driver's side shocks, and crank them up a bit!

 

Want to explain why?

 

I just think the way a bump stop is mounted (welded to the frame) versus a bypass (mounted to have movement and swivel) is more capable of taking a hard bottom out.

I think, even if a bypass were valved and tuned for the last compression to by a bump stop, there is still a risk of the shock bottoming out and blowing.

IMO, if I am investing $$$ on a triple bypass, I am installing bump stops up front.

 

If you valve the bypass properly and have a small rubber bump stop for the final stopping point the it isn't a problem, plenty of TT's have it set-up like that. Most people don't do that cause it's easier to just throw an bumpstop on it and not worry about the valving

 

thats true, or you just dont want to risk not setting it up correctly and blow the shocks. A little insurance goes a long way. I'll try cooler things when I own a TT race shop.

I have bumps up front because I didnt have the pockets to go triples right off the bat. Im not gonna ditch my bumps either cuz I like them and they've saved me before.

 

lol convert his ride to Left Hand Drive just cuz of the lean

 

I say use a top plate spacer to even it out, it wont affect preload

 

That was dope. bangarang is sick.

 

Definitely a good compilation of jake's pics. Took me a bit to settle on a song but that fits well.

 

lol the word "bangarang" reminds me of Hook.

 

Thanks didnt think of that

 

RUFIO!!!
