Long Travel BS Thread

Thats all I am saying though, shopping and working saves a ton

 

oh yeah it sure does! if you can make shit more power to you! when i move out and actually get a house in like a year and a half im going to get one with no HOA and build a shop in the backyard

 

I am waiting on new ball joints and I am going to borrow Garretts spindles for the next project. Lower uniball for a stock spindle

 

Anyone know who has air bump stops with a 3" leaf pack in the rear? I would like to see pics on how it fits/positioning and if any issues with clearance. i just got some Fox 2.0x4" bumps and dropped truck at shop.

But I ordered these frame mount plates from poly performance today to save on fab work so might have to take it back in on thursday (Day before pismo!). Guy at shop was worried about tire clearance/bed when tucked in since the bump is so long, he's measuring it out now tho...so It'd be nice to have some pics to reference

 

Mount the bump's on the inside of the frame if it's a problem.

 

Cut through the bed if you have to to have the bump set at the proper height.

So I just got some news today. Ive been asked to chase for my uncles neighbor in the baja 500. He races class 1 buggies so it should be interesting. He is the one who created the offroad expo and sold it to toyota originally before lucas took it over.

 

NICE! Time for rear long travel

 

i spent 1700 on all the leafs, bash plates, u bolts, hangers, shackles. etc.....along with a drive shaft mod which cost 410 which wasn't all that bad actually. SEARCH for the good deals! its worth it.

 

Cool, yeah looks like I'm taking it in on thu. Hopefully it's done in a day...

I went with 4" travel bumps. Im worried I went too long for my all pro leafs. I'd think I'd be riding on them with loads or even in handling (<1" till on bump?) I believe they can be shortened whenever tho.

 

I would do 4" travel with the allpro's and yes they can be changed any time

 

Gonna do this setup that should hold me off from LT for a while, with SAW 10" resi's, not sure on shackles, some poly bumps, with my Deaver Prerunner pack. Chatting with Adrian from Icon about it.

I am so going to try something stealth like that.

 

Its gonna be good, not good as LT but should do fine.All you need is Deavers stock replacement pack , 10" shocks such as Bilstein 7100 Short Bodies, Possible longer shackles, U bolt flip kit maybe, Longer break line, some metal , and some tubing.

I have this rear setup, will this be fine with a lower longer shock hoop likr the pic and a SUA?

Yep that setup will work way better than most think, very similar to what I did to my brothers truck

 

Sweet thats the plan for now, I want a stealth better than mid travel spring under axle setup with my current shocks attached to a support bar that would be able to keep up with my front end.

I like the use of my entire bed area i have left and this seems like it could be what I am looking for.

Now I just need to get a leaf pack and all parts involved with getting it done, what would your labor be since I am local to get it like your brothers?

 

Yeah i think so , just check the stroke on that shock, and i think SUA will make you sit lower. What leafs are you running Micah?
