Long Travel BS Thread

Just trying to get fucking sand cars out of the way

 

ya i would love to hit a rally and look at all your trucks and get some help on mine if there are any in utah i am down. i will get more pics of the rear end maybe i am just missing.the bumps or something maybe u guys can figure it out

 

Don't always listen to the forums man.
I wouldn't leave it to the Internet.

 

sounds like this is your first LT truck...

read all of the stickies in the LT section. then re-read them to get the basics down and start to understand some of the terminology and what goes into owning and running a go fast truck.

there's a lot of help on the forums... there's also a lot of retards who think they know what they are talking about too. so take it's good to have a general understanding of things

i can't say i know of any shops in UT that could help you out with some hands on stuff, but i'm sure if you attended the lucas oil race in UT you could find somebody willing to give you a hand.

here are a few more pics the front has bumps for sure but the rear does not

 

Do you know if your previous owner "tuned" your bypasses to act as a bump?

 

It looks like it had bumps maybe? I think I see strike pads on the axle.

 

ya it is my first lt truck i have been reading a lot the last week and i have a lot to go lol ya i.am gonna head out to the lucas even i think its next weekend and i will find someone to check out the truck thanks for the help guys

 

Bumpidy

 

Kinda looks like it. But

 

Lolol. This coming from the guy that isn't gunna run bumps for a Lil hahaha jk.


But this. Very much so.

 

i know the rear frame is all boxed out but i dont know about the rest i will look into it. i am gonna buy some bumps tomorrow for sure because i am sure my shocks are not cheap to buy thanks again everyone

 

looks like the frame is plated to me

 

Boxed > plated

doesn't matter if the 2nd comp tube is dialed in to mimic a hydro bump or not... it will not prevent metal on metal contact which is pretty much the whole point of a bump stop

 

just trying to see if there was any kid of precaution or of this truck has been running no bumps the whole time.
