Long Travel BS Thread

Damn, that sucks ma. Pics of said bending?

 

I'll get some

 

how? you gusseted the fuck out of them

 

Is this Aron's truck?

 

no its robs truck

 

Finally, 62.5"! Still have some finish welding and a few cross bars to add for support.

 

Looks good, Bedcage looks nice and clean.

Just hope that's typo and you mean 52.5"

 

Wait what?????? 52.5"? Damn no wonder I only have 3" of travel haha. Yeah I am super tired 52.5" rides like a dream. It's riding a bit high I hope it sits down after the springs break in.

 

Yeah, 50T's have a huge arch so they have massive uptravel. Should settle slightly.

 

cant remember right now how thick the plate is, the cage main is 2" and filled in with some 1.75, the v in the a-piller is 1.5". No dimples because not enough room behind the 2" tubing because we managed to tuck it so tight, we honestly didnt really need the plate and the dimples would of hit the tubing. right now im contemplating drilling some holes in the plate so it add's to it like the dimple dies and gives it that bling bling.


and thanks for the compliments everyone, really happy with how low key we managed to keep a 2" cage for the most part haha. She'll be drivin on the street Sunday

 

aye if i bring a 6-pack of beer can u help me get the spindles on Matt? no shit i'd like to get em right on and if u want my 4x gusseted ones i'll give em to ya for cheap or something. do a swap that day if i come up early in the early morning

 

not the rears haha just welded those on. the drivers side bent right above where it ties into the frame it bent inboard

 

seems legit..

 

not surprised at all...and ill go ahead and ask the same question i have before...why do you guys still continue to buy their products when this thread is full of engage fail? how many times have we seen things like this from them? there are far too many good companies and garage fab guys out there to be dealing with all this on a constant basis!! Ok now i have a headache lol...back to cutting out seat tabs

 

just curious but how many people on here would be interested in something like this? obviously do a clutch( if you're cool enough to have one) and gas pedal as well and offer them in a package. They could be done to the exact size as stock ones or custom. was also thinking of doing the gas pedal in the shape of a foot(like the old hot rods used to have) and doing the dimples reversed so they provide traction. Could also offer grip tape as an option and even a toe strap on the gas pedal to pull the pedal back if the return spring fails. Let me know what you guy think!!

 

Did you use the gussets that came with the kit?

 

That awesome! If you can make ones that fit a second gen without too much fab, id be down! Also, one for the accelerator would be pretty bamf. It needs to say something cooler than go tho like "EXCELCIOR!" or "High Hoe Silver!" lol jk

 

yours came with gussets!?

haha figures.

mine didnt come with anything except pre bent hangers that would bend more

but i did regusset them

as well as the bed mount

 

i know i know..... i gave them the benefit of the doubt after i talked to them. there stuff SOUNDs really good when you talk to them!

but then i got screwed for like $100

then my bushings came without sleeves

then my hangers came bre bent and with a cracked weld on the inside

then they bend on my truck with no offroad use...

how hard is it to construct something that has strength to it. spend the money get better materials. give gussets with their items. it should be a no brainer.

but shame on me for beeing fooled
