Long Travel BS Thread

Dont know an exact angle cause every truck will be a little different. But the best way to find the correct angle is to pull the leaf pack apart to the main leaf and cycle the suspension to full bump and full droop. While at full bump or droop swing the shock in an arc. Where the too arcs cross thats a good place to put the upper shock mount. Every leaf pack will be slightly different and every shock brand and length will cycle a little different.

Cool deal, Pictures can be deceiving sometimes.

 

let me know what u come up with ive been curious myself

 

No worries. I made mistakes in the past and still make mistakes. But if you learn from your mistakes thats all that matters. here is a rough drawing I made a few years ago kinda what I mean.

 

for sure man if you end up wanting to sell them let me know

 

why not a hydro setup like the crawler Solid axle guys do? I personally don't know much about their steering rams but Idk why that wouldn't work unless they don't react fast enough then a steering quickener would need to be added

 

Hit up "Socalmoto" on DR or TTORA, he might have a solution worked out!

 

lined the inner fenders today, i think they turned out cool



and a pic of them installed

 

I don't know a damn thing about steering set ups so I'm super newb in this area. I'll look into that

 

same. I figure it may be a start in the right area. and if the ram can handle 44s and big rocks the desert and 33s should be nothing for them

 

so excited to get it all together!!

 

So pretty . Congrats Jen can't wait for your build.

 

Thanks!!! It wont be LT but it will be close!

 

Solo has the same setup just longer shocks so it's semi LT ?

 

Yeah semi LT I guess.. were gonna do shock hoops and only cut into the bed a little bit to allow gusseting and a removable cross member for extra support when rhomping

 

Rhomping!!! Its gonna be a legit setup.

That's a bummer to see, that truck has come a long way. I towed it out to glamis for its first run ever. Shock valving was so far off it almost made us pee blood going down sand highway

 

Still waiting for kit
