Long Travel BS Thread

It's hush hush cuz the alignment tech hooks it up. PM FixedTRD (Will) and ask him, I cant say

 

Work has been killer, wanted to test these badboys out this weekend so DMZ Tim & crew hooked it up and installed the TC spindles and Heimed UCA's for me.

I was gonna install them myself but Im glad I had him do it, he spent a good amount of time taking the heimed UCA's on and off and adjusting them, trying to align camber. Adjusted my toe, and gave me a general alignment using his old school alignment tools.

Took it to Firestone, using my 'lifetime', and got the traditional shit from the mechanic when they saw I had an LT kit. I told them that my fabricator adjusted the heimed UCA's and straightened toe as much as he could. They just need to mess with the caster. When I picked it up the tech said " you cant be any happier with those numbers". I dont know anything about the degrees and measurements but he said that he got everything pretty close to OE specs.

Drove the truck today and it has never driven this straight. The steering doesnt have slop like it use to. When you turn the wheel, it turns! no slight delay. And on the freeway its so responsive I can steer using my knees LOL

Sorry for the long post, but usually the more you make your truck a dezert truck you never see these "stock" luxuries again. The squeeks get louder, the MPG gets worse etc.

The arms sit in the middle of the travel now. Cant wait to see how it will run this Saturday now that droop/bump #'s are more even.

 

Pmded

 

While i was at the shop I grabbed some progress pictures of Lalo's tundra.

 

damn. That thing is going to be nuts

 

I just hope he finishes it before (or instead of) he sells it

 

He's got a Camburg kit just like you Rj

 

Camburg FTMFW!

Is he doing an engine cage and all that shit?

 

It appears he already has one

 

Didnt even think to take a closer look.. haha

 

yea, the truck is caged front to rear. I couldnt find better pics of the front of the truck. Ill try looking for some

 

replied to everyone who PMed me about my 16" doubles

 

Haha, yeah i know, i can see in the pictures. I was just trying to get RJ to take a closer look and see the engine cage.

 

Those uppers are sexy Mark. Tuck is looking great as usual.


I can't believe Lalo's truck is still there!! It's been like 4 years I swear.

 

fixed.

 

Mark, why you gotta go posting shit up like that? as if i didn't want heimed uppers enough already.

steering going down the toilet has ALWAYS been my biggest dislike about LT'ing my truck... it bugs the crap out of me...lol

 

he changed it to this

"He's got a Camburg RACE kit unlike you Rj "

 

Yeah, i got that.. But whats the point
