Long Travel BS Thread

Although there is a 4x4 fabbed spindle in the works

 

right on

 

food for thought on bump steer:

 

I just finally got home to be able to see the pics. Its hard to see in photos like that but Solo says their spindle allows LT suspension to get 1" more droop. They had to change something to allow that. I was thinking they are doing it by moving the upper uniball up higher than the stock ones, which keeps it from binding under droop. If you look at the uniball itself it is dead straight in the Solo spindle and a little in the "droop" position in the second pic. But maybe they adjusted it to be "better" than the stock spindle geometry wise? Would be interesting to hear form Solo on that

 

the extra 1" is down travel, and you only get that if you run the lower uni ball conversion

 

ahhh well that shoots my whole theory lol

 

Hah I love it, everybody is hooked on how much travel they can get.

 

Its the bump steer I am wondering about, not as much about travel. I wouldnt want to sacrifice travel for geometry

 

duh dude. that's all it's about. travel #'s and bitches

 

here is a cl find

damn, that is a cool little truck. would be so fun to build a little standard cab

Raptor? Om nom nom

 

Aftermarket UCA, modified stock LCA to run a 8" bypasses?

 

2" allpro wheel spacers for my rear wheel. Got these babies in from ups tonight.

 

yeah, but look close to how they did the UCA. they used the rear stock UCA mount for the bypass and added a new mount behind that for the wider UCA to make room for the bypass... pretty clever

 

hmmm well that sucks wonder what happened.
