Chris's Long Travel Supercharged do some of everything build

take any pics or videos?

 

I dont have any pics or video this time. I will be heading out again in a few weeks with a group so there will be some then.

 

Oh and I think the best part of the truck is that its semi sleeper. You wouldn't believe how many people see me tearing around and come over wondering how the truck did that. Then they start looking around the truck and see the bedcage and all the shocks.

 

again there you go doing what i wanted to do lol. im looking at a mild rear cage with bypassed foxes and some bump stops. im looking right now and soon gonna be shopping. are you still considering going sua?

 

I am very happy with the rear suspension. I will only go SUA if my current springs dont survive and need to be replaced.
Suspension wise I think my next move will be in the front. I need to do alittle more adjusting in the front to see where it ends up. If I want more I may just fab some airbumps in up there, or those bypasses if they are ever available. Also limit straps all the way around.

 

Saw a quad with a gopro running behind me at one point and found the video. Start at about 10:20 look to the left. not the greatest but better than nothing.

daves kit above is the easiest way, its just a summit bpv with all the metric line and fittings. You can put it together cheaper but with the daves you know you are ready to go.

We just moved it off the frame to give my braided line more room for droop. Ill try to get a picture today.

 

Ok cool thanks man

 

Ok so went to the dunes today and it was very different. I need to work on tunning more but the truck still did well all and all. There were mostly quads and bike so the whoops were real close together and shorter than normal and the back was to stiff with to much rebound. Didn't feel like tunning today so just beat on it and got some air, landed real soft. This time there is some pics and video.

Here are a few to get started.

 

love your setup! wish i wasn't a broke high school kid and i had money to do that. cant wait to see more.

 

i feel your pain, i’m at a standstill tell summer.

not great but some footage I threw together.

 

looks like you would definitely benefit from going sua looks good though. front end seems a bit soft no?

 

Ya I though the truck did better first time out. Which is funny because it wasnt as rough but all the whoops were smaller and closer together. I did have the front softer but wasnt bad, just probably could have used another click.

Right now I would say the real problem is weight transfer to the rear. I plan on cutting down on the rebound and dropping some pressure out of the airbumps but may need to get the ride height lower. Well I guess it probably doesnt matter, the truck probably will only see sand another time or two this year. Time to get it ready to hit some offroad parks.

 

I didn't change anything on my truck because we were doing a shakedown run on a buddies jeep. Here's what he looked like through the whoops.

 

Ok so alittle update.

I wanted to be able to carry two spares when the time calls for it. I originally was going to put a second spinner on top of the cage but decided to just make an adapter to double stack them in the back. Blocks alittle more visibility than I like but my spares are still my old 33x12.50's.




I also have an airbump strike the hits the ubolt every once in a while so I got a fix for the problem. might have to add alittle metal off the side but I can cut down the ubolts out of the way.

 

So I have been chasing some front driveline gremlins so I decided to force it to show it self. I figured out its something in here:



so if I am going to open it up I might as well regear why I'm at it, just havent decided if I want 4.88 or 4.56.

 

id go 4.88
