Long Travel BS Thread

not a whole lot to these "kits" haha a plate and u bolts so if its not a good kit then they must have really f%cked up hahaha

 

Yeah but getting a new bump stop is part of the fun too.

 

ya true, but that aint part of the kit. i think the most work is relocating ur shock mounts and the bump stops. cause swapping the ubolts and plates are a walk in the park

 

i just bought a nice kit from ruff stuff today. anyone else use this kit?

 

My buddy is using that one so far so good. Everything is really beefy and well designed. Quite a few people buy that kit becuase its got everything needed in it.

 

Jiz in pants ^^

 

what fiberglass company is that? Not sure if I've seen that style before

 

Looks like glassworks 6"

 

Krish, which Camburg kit are you getting?

 

hell yeah! So you are still running the coilbucket with it for now? Since you said you are using an 8" shock. You will have some fun with that kit!

 

Will have some pics by the end of the week.

 

SUA rear cant keep up with front? Sounds like a valving issue

 

I would highly recommend a reverse shackle flip for the rear. (does defined make one? get one from them if they do). You already have all that work on the rear and if you are spending money on shackles, you might as well do it the better way. Ive ridden in many Gen 2's that have the flipped kit and it is way smoother than the normal stock shackle direction. Just my opinion though

 

Buy this

I think valving is the issue if you think the defined rear can't keep up. Valving is a huge factor to a great overall setup. I had my rear ten inch travel fox's rebuilt and revalved by DSM. Difference in perfornance was so significant that it can't not be explained lol

 

Wait....you got a camburg kit new for less than 2300?

 

Can you still use the same spindle your running with the lt kit? Or do you have to upgrade to an lt spindle?

 

You can use the same spindle

 

The long travel kit that was on the taco I just bought has BJ lowers, anything special about swapping to uniballs other than chop off balljoint, well in Uniball cup and drill out the spindle?
