Long Travel BS Thread

im gonna get new ones but for the time being im gonna use these ones for a bit.
how far short from full do is a good place to strap too. like an inch short?

 

Since you guys are talking about it, what do you guys consider "full droop"? When the uniballs start to "max out"? I'm strapped before this but i just did it before the angles started looking too crazy(like in the pic). Does that seem right?

Your kit is different because you have the rounded upper misalignment on the UCA to spindle. That is usually the first spot to bind. On yours it should be the uniball cup on the outer UCA hitting the lower misalignment mounted on your spindle.

When you find the part that binds first take the strap back up some to give for stretch/flex and keep an eye on that part to make sure its not getting marks from contact. When you check as long as the first point of contact is clean your good

 

I was reading the add, and I thought 32" of travel was a lot.

I do but I don't need the 4" damn it

 

So shorten em

Ah I see,

 

Giving the guy a text! I'll need these down the line so why not collect now?

 

so i basically finished my lt install. i noticed that at full lock in either direction that the tie rod hits the bypass/limit strap mount. it severely restricts my steering and is probably not a good thing. has any one else had this problem?
edit: would switching the tie rods solve the problem?

 

edit: derp

 

Cool thank you!
