Long Travel BS Thread

why not just sell the 16s and buy 14s?

 

I'd take a loss on the 16's, pay more for the 14's and still have to pay for fab work on my shock towers to work with the 14's. But still be limited at the 13.5" of travel, and assue that after all of that it works well.

 

before eveyone jumpson the bandwagon, let's see your messages that you sent to him. all I see is him telling you that it is set up wrong, if the bumps are too low like he says, no wonder it's bucking ...

 

Ok, did anyone figure out why you're not getting more than 13.5"?

 

Don't you have stock bumps Anthony?

 

He has a picture of these in his build

 

Not sure, the site states up to 15". I'm not overly concerned with being at 13.5" or 15". If I can get the valving set up to just work good that's all I want. I'm trying to be as positive as possible about this, but I also know I'm not afraid to just give up and go another route if it isn't working.

I got friends nice enough to help with valving, so if it is possible to get valving to make it work I will get there.

 

Those things pack a lot of energy when compressed and will attribute to bucking on the rebound

 

DMZ all the way homes! best customer service I've ever delt with and he takes care of his customers

 

The bucking happens before i can feel it hit the bumps..yeah i did have stockbumps and it still bucked...just bottomed out harder....im gonna try valving before i fully give up..

 

The coversation started with me asking about why he claims they come with delrin bushings...yet mine has poly.

 

I thought you already did..weren't some numbers thrown out there to try from Defined that was previously posted?

 

If Tyler can't make it work then ditch it! It pained me to see your truck go down Barstow main that one weekend.

 

well we'll see if it is valving fer sure or just the defined kit Tim has one truck that he's putting his kit on that used to have defined kit and aren't gonna do anything to the shocks he's just gonna install his kit and and throw the shocks on as is and see what the difference is I know the guy also tried tuning the shocks too but didn't really get anywhere

 

Does his kit use stock hangers?

 

no idea man

 

Oh nice..^

 

Wow

 

Can we see a picture from the aftermath of this?
