Long Travel BS Thread

Buy a uniweld regulator off ebay for 50 bucks and a small cylinder for 100 bucks and call it a day. That paintball deal is too much hassle to only fill a few sets of shocks

 

that's what i figured, i had just never looked into it before now.

that was my original plan, but if all i need is the above adapter, i wouldn't call it a hassle. saves me $100 too.

 

I just know I have owned 3 toyota off road leaf sprung trucks. My other 2 had more up-travel.
My current toyota has more down travel than up travel. It works way better than any other leaf sprung truck I have ever ridden in.
But my shock set up is tuned perfect so maybe thats a big part of it.

 

Most expensive paintball guns run N2 (basically compressed air, but since most air is made up of N2 they just call it N2), CO2 is too cold for the internals of the gun, and IIRC the N2 tanks can hold a higher PSI so more air. But someone mentioned on here that a Carbon wrapped N2 tank is extremely dangerous if damaged as oppose to a metal CO2 tank that is just dented.

 

Most likely its the different valving you are feeling
I have never seen a leaf spring truck work better with less up travel

 

Yeah maybe thats why.
But if you are sitting all stink bug, it gets super squirly at high speeds I noticed. My truck handles way better when the rear end sits more

 

I have more down than up, but I wanted it to sit low for body roll purposes. I wish I had a little more up sometimes. But being a SUV it loves to roll, so I am willing to give up the up travel for ride height.

And for 95 taco--I think the undersprung is to help with axle wrap.

 

oh, ok.

 

Yeah I was going to same the same that the valving is probably the biggest factor

 

yes, as soon as carbon is damaged, you ditch the tank. you don't want 3000 psi ripping open a tank.

I did a lot work with hydrogen tanks at a company I used to work for, and to protect the carbon wraps on tanks, they always had an outer stainless steel shell or other material to protect the carbon from impact.

 

That's a pretty good idea.

 

Also with the same shackle setup over/under sprung is about 5in difference in ride height. So big ass springs=tall truck

 

The rear ride height should not make it squirly. Most trucks will turn way better with the front lower than the back. Keeps the weight on the front wheels. Not enough caster will make it get squirly at speeds.

 

Hahaha. So my truck is set up right, I just hate the look sometimes. haha

 

bro @ <3

hahaha just kiddin man.

 

But that's the most important part...

Should ship it to Canada and we'll take care of it for you

 

Ever notice most TT sit stink bug?

 

yeah and tt's are also linked and have 32+" of travel. completely different animal....

 

better droop and bump pics
prob won't droop that far with the complete leaf packs though its only 2 inches lower than the free arc of the springs
1/4 inch clearance all around the tire/inner wheel well lip at bump after moving the axle back a lil and hammering the pinch weld lip up.
Less than 1/2 an inch till the u bolt hits the frame, way better than i first thought, blah blah
