Long Travel BS Thread

do i literaly just bring them the shaft and tell them to add a slip yoke? haha.....also can i get the slip yoke before i long travel the rear?

also what was the name of the shop ? it was in like ventura or something haha

 

I thought you used a 4x shaft?

 

anthony give Coast driveline a call and ask for will...they are in ventura

 

coast drive line.. yes you bring them tho whole shaft and ask for a drive line

you need to know how much youll need to move.... ex... mine at full droop needed to be shortened like 2-3inches and about stock length at full bump

 

was just looking at them! they look nice

so they shorten it and add a slip yoke? how did you measure it haha....i wont have as much travel as you, i will have the defined kit

 

un hooked my shaft tehe and let the axel droop as far as possible no shocks or straps then bumped it fully and measured from rear of my tranny teheto the front of the diff... gave those to coast

 

Anyone know of any 2nd gens with engine cages that cut out their inner fenders? Just looking for ideas on where/how to make the brake booster and the fuse box.

I think it would be sweet to have a one piece clip with an engine cage supporting it, so when you take the clip off there is nothing between you and the engine but the cage.

 

Look into rj's build thread I think...

 

Is $125 good deal for used tc shackles?

 

12s or 9s?

 

Yes. As long as they're not bent.

 

12"s he says there in good shape

 

just wait untill the kit is installed and then bring them the truck to modify the driveshaft. they pretty much only need to take a measurement at full droop. the 2wd trucks driveshaft work fine with my sua kit. but your carrier bearing is going to take a beating , not much more than it does stock though.

 

I say go for it

 

Cool that's what I was thinking.

 

Would u recommend a carrier bearing drop

 

thanks for the imput! cant wait to have it on my truck!

are your shock tabs mounted on the front or the rear of the axle?

 

It shouldn't be nesscary because when setting up your spring perches for the SUA you're suppose to get the pinion angle to match the angle of the short/fixed portion of the Driveshaft. (approx. 5 degrees)
