Long Travel BS Thread

Ya but u saw my bro lean when I was loaded up with all my camping gear

 

Dude have them rearched. If not sell them to me for cheap and ill get em re-arched

 

Pm sent

 

They lifted the rear 7 inches over the f67s, ha
think i got them where I want them now though, and they droop for days

 

Over the f67 wow how many leaves did u end up removing? Just the ones in the first pic?

 

damn. they look so good now. give them back to me! lol

 

Just got back from Barstow, was pretty rad and deserted out there, think I way over did it on stiffening up my rear shocks, didn't even touch my rear bumps stops. I need to add struts on each canti arm to keep them pivoting in line.

 

damn your 4 runner is looking good!

 

Fuck long travel.

Yeah just one from the middle and the two bottom ones.
Leaf springs are weird like that. You just never know how its going to sit till you drop the jack. It's usually too high, or too low.
I've had packs of the same part number with different arcs too. Depends on the production run.

Matt, I might trade you back, kinda joking, kinda serious, ha.

 

That vid is so gnar

 

HAHA! it's cool dude... i'm down for whatever if you change your mind

 

That video goes to show... Bro's will be bro's

 

That video was nuts! Always one in the group lol.

 

spotted Fabian on the 15 north. Also BJ Baldwin pulled over on the side of the road

 

Ha ha, spotted! Cool pic
Drive seems easier from Ventura than when I used to go out from OC.
Thanks Anteupp

 

Pack went from 11 leafs to 8
I pulled out the 6th leaf from the bottom, and the bottom two, then cut, rounded, and smoothed out the tips of the remaining leafs to stagger them properly-ish so there are no flat spots in the pack. Cut down the side brackets.

leafs stagger out from each edge of the u bolt plate something like 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5, 5.25
Little tighter spacing in the front.
You can kinda see where the old leaf tips were in this pic
blah

 

hey guys I had my steering column apart for a few days, put it back and my steering wheel is all side ways. My alignment guy says I need a full alignment. Is that accurate? I just need my steering wheel straightened out. The camber/caster were never changed..nothing suspension wise anyway. Is this something I can do myself?

 

You could always center the wheels and pop the steering wheel off and reset it straight; but I would only do that if you're sure the change in position didn't come from anywhere else in the system.

If it did, and you move the steering wheel, you could destroy your spiral cable by being able to turn too far in one direction.
