Long Travel BS Thread

So did it help removing some leafs and revalving?

 

Don't know yet, just got it back Monday.

 

That's awesome!

 

Ah, im looking into getting the towers as well. We shall see

 

Oh ok, nothing to do with the towers the leafs are where we hit the wall. New leafs and shackles next summer during downtime.

 

Oh no I get it but I have the Defined kit and I have been up on the wall regarding installing it. Been watching a lot of videos and trying to read feedback before I decide to install. I have less weight in the rear than almost all you guys do and i dont want a stiff ride.

 

Yeah when Eddie had the leafs he also had a ton of tube work in the bed and the extra weight helped a ton. Me I just have the towers and a spare.

 

I am a little bummed. I dont really want to weigh down the back end. Just spares and thats it...got some thinking to do.

Would it help making the valving super super soft on compression?

they arent kings...

 

Don't get me wrong, it road good. Pretty firm, but did what it should. Running whoop sections left me bucking on deep ones that others didn't have an issue with. Mainly due to not having any weight other than a spare.

 

I'm.not.going.to be running any weighy either. I have a lighter end as it is and don't want to have to add weight. Can you valve the stiffness out of the leafs?

 

I just went and jumped on my truck bed, it squats like 2 inches. It seems pretty stiff but drives smoothly on the road.
I have the cage, two spares, and some blocks of wood in there.

 

That's 1 cage, 1 spare, and a few blocks of wood more than me lol

 

Lol yeah it seems pretty stiff overall. On my mid travel Deavers I was able to have it squat 3-4" with just two spares.

 

Slow and steady haha, got all my stuff to do the rear here this weekend or next and started saving for the front bypass funds.. Yea im going to head down to the fiesta Island meet would like to see your truck in person the new pics look good.

 

When is the fiesta island meet? I wanna see Chris's truck too!

 

9/9 @ noon

 

September 9th, there is a thread for it in the southern California section. i would add it but too lazy to do it from my phone haha

....Damn beat me to it....(edit)

 

Not as excited as I was before lol

 

U will be all good with some fine tuning, there are quite a few variables to mess with before u just throw a bunch of exta weight in the bed. If anything just get two grabbers for spares that's easily an extra 1,000 lbs.... Haha
