Long Travel BS Thread

DSM or James?

 

if those SAWs are 2.0 then you can get away with running some simple hoops in the wheel wells and the shocks outside the frame rails. you'll need to run some rear wheel spacers to clear the tires during articulation, but with some gusseting to the frame on the hoops you'll be able to keep 100% bed space

 

Yes they are 2.0's. But, I was thinking of either doing the hoops, originally to keep it tucked and keep bed space, or do what anthony250 did.

you should see what mine look like, to the point of almost tearing. self clearnancing FTW

 

Yeah you can do outside the frame too. Either way is fine, My setup does really well surprisingly , over smaller medium whoops and stuff i can do 40-45 comfortably. Even smoother and faster with correct valving and slightly extended shackles.

Or look at this too.

 

Looks like I am going to be picking up engage's 50t install kit and shackles.

 

Yeah it started doing that this weekend. Alright well I'll see how much they clear and if it's not doing much I'll try the spacers since the rubbing is right on the edge.

 

:O

Didn't think you'd ever use another Engage product.

Just make sure you add some pieces that tie the front Spring Hangers up around the side of the frame, and you'll be good to go

 

that looks good.

 

Haha I know huh!!! its cool though. It is the cheapest route. I already wasted 550 on richer racing shackles and hangers and that didn't go well. It was most likely my fault installing them wrong. But they don't include measurements or directions. I would like to run DMZs set up but I can't justify spending 1500 on it. I already have springs ubolt kit and etc.

 

x2! haha.

I haven't heard anything bad about the Engage rear LT kit at all

Johnny sent me directions exactly how to cycle and install them.

I wish you would have told me you were having problems dude! Could have just shown you how we did them!

 

Its cool man!! I still have the rear hangers. I cut them off. Do you have the directions in PDF or email? If i can just buy new front ones maybe he will sell me them seperate. I should have ask him for some. But then again he should have sent them. Oh well

 

Damn, been there (other products) but it's always a shitty situation when stuff comes with no instructions, no way to salvage them I'm assuming?!

Yeah, still waiting for someone to do that. Anthony (DTF) will be the first with inverted shackles in 50T leafs I believe.

Hope all works out for you this go around

 

Are you sure you just dont want me to send you the directions and you re-do it? Seems like such a waste to just toss perfectly good equipment

 

The rear hangers I cut off and can reuse them. The fronts in need new ones haha. Ya its more my fault for not contacting them. I just feel like the project is fighting me back now haha.

 

lol

 

hahaha hell yeah! My other stuff has self cleared but now i know this will too

 

I dig the new sig pic.

 

Thanks mang

 

does this count as long travel....?
