Long Travel BS Thread

So I saw this while checking the truck.



Looks like the 2nd leaf from the bottom has twisted. This is the same on both sides. So what could have caused this? And how do I fix it? BFH? Thanks!

 

I held them side by side, at least my lines were the exact same length. I swapped them anywho since everything was out, gave the old lines to another member.

 

Just beat them back and re torque the u bolts, it's pretty normal.

 

I figured it was. Thanks.

 

Thanks My kit came in today! Super stoked!

Well after taking the wheels off and looking at my spindle/LCA i think my spindle might be bent as well. I can see little cracks in the powdercoat. We also took a straight edge to the passenger spindle and its straight except one little spot it curves and the drivers side has two of those curves but a little more drastic. (Probably not an accurate way of checking)

I saw BobberBill's bent spindle and it wasn't anywhere as bad so i think it should be fine but they seem a bit tweaked

 

i think my passenger side camburg spindle is slightly tweaked as well , theres not as much space between the tire and spindle like the other side.

 

It's not just a bad wheel bearing or hub?

 

That sucks man. My engage spindle is starting to crack at the welds.

 

My engage race spindles are cracking at the welds..

My brother in laws engage kit is cracking at the welds as well..

 

AT the welds? My welds are fine, just the powdercoat is starting to have a few cracks in the middle of the spindle.

Heres a pic of my new kit

 

I'd be pissed if my kit or aftermarket spindles were cracking or having welds fail! But nothing a lil jb weld, zip ties and some duct tape cant fix right...

 

Well what are we supposed to do? Not about the cracks at the weld, I would be SUPER pissed about that.

"Hey camburg, ive been beating on your spindles for over a year and they bent so give me a new one" well i wish it was like that but i dont think they will care to do anything knowing them.

I honestly thought they were pretty indestructible since they're so beefy and i know camburg builds good stuff .Thats why i was pretty shocked when BobberBill bent his but now im in the same boat...i think.

 

Ya Its crazy. Oh well. I will be getting a new kit once i finish the rear of my tuck.

 

when is the rear getting done?

 

Well its spring under right now and I am in the process of building the bedcage and installing my four tube bypasses. So hopefully in a couple of weeks it will be ready to rock.

 

I've been BEATING on my homebuilt spindles for years and mine haven't bent or cracked

 

Built Right has a life time warranty on their kit

 

no. big. deal.

 

Tyler don't lie you don't even jump your truck
