Long Travel BS Thread

I doubt you'll pull apart your shocks, nor jumping the truck, you probably wouldn't be able to get going fast enough to do much damage. Unless you dropped off of something crazy or did something crazy enough to really push the whole rear end down with extreme force. In that case, learn how to drive or spend more money building a god damn race truck. However, I made the comment about not running straps with the setup we were talking about (Defined SUA with your Fox's in stock location) that way you can use what you have available with that shock, vs restricting it even more with a strap, than its already being resticted by the shock. Full size shocks, yes you better have a strap on lol with any intent to have fun with the truck

Run the shit out of it! I did. My 5100's arent leaking, nor blown, nor pulled apart and I ran whoops as fast and safest that I could from Glamis to Gordons and back, and played around all weekend. Ya they got hot, but I wasn't worried about keeping the integrity of them. Know what I mean Vern!

Eric you ran in my truck with no straps, we still had fun.

 

I ran my OME set up with my front LT for over a year and my OME shocks were blown, mangled and destroyed by the time I got rear LT. One of them is seized in the fully compressed position because the body is bent into the shaft

 

And there's your worst case scenario Matthew. Youll have to rebuild your foxes like you said. Or upgrade

 

Crazy how fast this is all going. I went ahead on ordered the rear glassworks today also. My front should be all installed in 2 weeks and the defined kit and rear fiberglass within 2 or 3 weeks after that. Can't come fast enough.

 

Tell me about it, I'm going on almost a week without my truck while its getting painted

 

Haha Arnold is still alive.

 

Not sure where to put this its not LT but is a sweet old yota with an exocage

Not at all.
I paid 750 which included:
Prep & Paint fenders
Prep & Paint grill and emblem
Blend the hood
Prep & Paint bedsides
Fitting trim pieces under headlights
Mounting bedsides
Bedliner kevlar coating undersides of fenders & bedsides
Full truck buff

I feel like I'm forgetting something but I think that's it.

 

where are you getting it done?

 

A friend of mine who's trying to get his name out a little more called Phoenix Collision Custom Paint & Body I believe. I can give you his number if you want.

 

Is he willing to let me watch him and learn?

 

Lol I'm not really in the position to answer that, ya know.

Are you looking for a job?

The name of the place is Phoenix Collision & Custom Paint. WWW.phoenixccp.com

 

nope. Have a good job. But I do have brand new HVLP guns in a case that I want to learn to use so when I spray my truck it looks ok. lol I have a friend that can paint may just ask him to help me set the guns up
