Long Travel BS Thread

didnt see it haha...figured it toss it out there while we were talking about non-sense rear setups

 

that think dominated for years!

 

how the hell does a cantilever set up work?

 

mike

 

i know i know im just not a fan

as you mentioned before this is more of a crawler setup...as long as the misalignments dont bind i see no issue(looks like they will bind pretty quick though)

 

here's some pics to a canti taco... it's a 6 lug, but i can't imagine the stock shit back there being too different on a 5 lug

 

still think that setup is pointless ha all it did is make the shocks way harder to tune

 

^^^ this....im a fan of the k.i.s.s. rule

 

Hit up engage if u want a cantilever kit. Rear should be the same as 6 lug for most part.

 

Btf also builds a cantilever setup

 

I'm sure it's been posted before

 

love that truck

 

yah on my truck, i needed exactly 36" of bed length for my camera cases, so i asked Hassim to shift my dual standing spares about 6 to 8 inches back and i now have 36.5" of bed length... after i get some bedliner on my crappy bed, i will get some bird's eye view pics...

the bed would have been pretty much complete, but i need the chase rack in order to shoot pictures from at the races with the new 75' from course rule for photographers, etc...

so the bed does have some 4 inch spaces cut out for the chase rack mounts into the frame...

i also went with a tundra rear axle to match the track width of the front kit, and with that, we were able to go outboard cantilever which also gave more room for the suspension arms, etc...

with my current health and financial situation, i had to keep the design simple but it has worked for me so far, although with the weight of the bed, dual spares, and chase rack, i had to rebuild the rear bypasses to 20 over 12...

im hoping to get around to some pics next week... just barely got my bedsides on yesterday...

 

Does anyone have a link to how, mechanically, a bypass shock works? Rather curious...

 

Fox has a nice way in their rebuild manual. You can look it up. its a PDF file. Too lazy and about to go to bed to look it up for you. Maybe tomorrow at work if you still haven't found it

 

Internal or external? Normal external bypasses are actually pretty simple

external, well both
