Long Travel BS Thread

Ur must be pretty baller!!?? Its not like kings r crap dude. They r one of the best shocks u can buy. We're not talking about the difference in Farrari and Kia. More like Farrari and Lamborghini. Both great, just take a pick and a price.

King

I know these arent the best examples...

But records were broken with Kings

 

At $2600+ a piece, there is a reason nobody runs them. http://www.polyperformance.com/shop...ial-Bypass-Off-Road-Racing-Shock-p-19271.html

 

Haha I don't know about the ”build on a budget” thing! Kings aint a whole lot cheaper. But for most people, there isnt a big enough noticable difference in performance between bilstein, kings, and foxes to just say fuck it and buy the most expensive one just because u can

 

dude you can pay over 3,000 for a king shock too, look at some 6 tube bypasses.

 

There are much more expensive alternatives out there if you have no budget. King, fox, icon, radflo, and bilstein are all very, very similar if you look at similar priced shocks. Personally, I think you get more shock for your money with radflo and better customer service, but I don't live in socal anymore and have to rely on people actually answering their phones. To me, the fact that radflo answers the phone and quickly ships out whatever you need is important.

 

tell me about it I almost bought some but he sold them too quickly...

All shock companies have different levels of performance shocks, you can get some cheap Billies and some cheap Kings. Or you can get expensive Billies or Expensive kings. All depends on what you need for the build you want. I dont think anyone here will be building a $3 mil trophy truck so I think any shock company will meet what anyone here needs the shock to do. Just need to do some research to find what you need.

 

Haha yeah if ur doin that I doubt u need or give a fuck for this website! Lol

 

Exactly and you probably have a mechanic you pay to make that decision for you or a sponsor to tells you what to run and you get it for free or a serious discount. lol.

 

Hahaha yeah that sounds like a problem I could deal with

 

Wouldn't we all.

 

why not...

 

bilstein FTW

 

Bonzen's?

keep an eye on this... might interest you.

 

You can keep 4wd and have a great kit

I've been watching/getting updates on that kit ever since the idea was brought about, and I have absolutely no use for it besides that I really want to have it

 

Only thing is when parts fail your f-ed no going to parts store for one off parts

 

Which parts are you referring too? The CV Axles I'm assuming? Which besides the shaft is just a 930 Joint and a Standard U-Joint, but I do get what you're saying, Although, it's not meant for crawling like you do, more high speed desert wheeling (less likely to have something bind and what not).
