Long Travel BS Thread

lol @ "rustle some jimmies"

 

can't wait to see how she does!

 

those $2 Martinis were too rookie league for you, barely put down some cholas in the club

 

PM sent!

Been waiting for one to pop up for a long time.

 

God, I would feel like such an asshole if I rolled my un-caged truck doing a fucking drift on the dirt

ay. My jimmithies hasth been rustled by yason.

 

Quick question for those running defined engineering LT kits. I have already harassed Mike enough for one week so ill try here. How many of you went with the stage 1 kit and added the bed cage/ shock hoops down the road? It's not really the $$ but it goes over easier if I split it up a little. Also pretty sure the stage 1 kit is something I could install myself or maybe get a little help with so I can turn a few wrenches on the truck myself rather than just stop at the ATM.
Is there any reason not to do it in stages? If i go this rout there are a few people who frequent this thread i will hit up about designing and building a bed cage or shock hoops. If I was going to go all out I'd probably just drop the truck off with Tim at DMZ and just understand I'd have a credit card bill again
Thanks for any help.

 

I didn't get the stage one but I still ran the regular kit with OEM shocks and just added my own rubber bumps and they work well even after the cage and bypasses. I also left the stock spring perches on there and thats where the bump strikes.
This is the only pic I have. Hope that sorta helps, I don't know anyone running just the stage1 kit.

 

go to the expo. thing has been on display the last 2 years

 

im not really any help lol...i have the other kit

 

i just said this the other day... would love to see somebody run the stage 1 kit with the OE replacement icon bypass and bolt on air bump kit

just saying...

 

Those leafs looks like they would go into major negative arch.

 

pretty sure they were the stock leafs with the icon AAL pack... that's not ride height BTW

 

Thanks! I must admit I thought you were joking about running icon... Something to think about for sure.

 

Actually you are, was kind of thinking about trying that kit and figuring out bumps or possibly trying the icon bumps if they will work without having to tear the pack down and cycle everything. Did you do the install yourself?

 

The Defined Kit is designed to be used with Light Racing Jounce Shocks/Old Donahoe Chubby (both meant for stock application) so the Icon Bumps should work without a glitch

 

I have the Defined kit with Light Racing bumps. Works out nicely with the bump plates Mike makes specifically for the Jounces.

 

Would you happen to have a link to the bumps? Searching on my phone and not having much luck with down south or icons site.
