Long Travel BS Thread

looks like they used some kind of spacer under the lower uniball adapter....to fit in the double shear mounts

^^^^DAMN I did not know those are soooo pricey.

 

yea when i bought my used 3.0x12" King Triples, the guy wanted 1700 for them

Needless to say, I talked him down a shitload

 

Yeah they are pricey. I have awhile before the shocks are needed. I'm definitely going to shop around for a killer deal.

 

The price on NEW 3.0 over NEW 2.5 is a lot. When I got mine from SDHQ I got a price on 3.0 and its a big difference. You gotta pay to play with the big boys. Would suck having to buy shock oil for 3.0 for tripples.

 

Screww that. Ill just go buy a dirtbike in that price and have as much fun on whoops......and collar bones are cheaper to fix than control arms

 

...But you wont look racecar

 

This is true, valid point sir

 

A broken bone means no work for me. Atleast in a fucked up truck I can go to work and pay to fix it lol

 

I try to look more remote control car then racecar. am I doing it wrong?


EDIT: LT 1st gens are tiny compared to most trucks. Then my truck is low and I throw my 2m/HAM antenna on for shits and gigs sometimes.

I would recommend not to run a 3.0 c/o, springs are much more $ and harder to find. A 2.5 c/o and 3.0 bypass is plenty

 

Good to know thanks. How often do people who race/beat on their truck have to replace coils? Like How many races months or years? Or just when broken?

 

My buddy's 2nd gen With 5100s sits higher than my lt Tacoma. I find that it's a bit sad. I need more bro lean.

 

most of the time just when they break, which isn't often. Every once in a while some cheap ones will sag, but not often

 

Desert trucks, giant boulders and the Pacific Ocean, don't mix.

 

Umm sounds like a great mix! looks like a driver problem....

 

I recognize that bedcage that guy does really nice work
