Long Travel BS Thread

Unfortunately I dont see many people being willing to cough up 600+$ to have a lower uniball.

I think some people just expect too much out of a simple kit. I recommend new lower balljoints on every kit I install because most the time people reuse balljoints with 100k miles on them and then wonder why they break.

I have seen OEM lower balljoints get beat to hell, and just because you make the pivot joint stronger doesn't mean something else wont break.

 

ive got a bunch of belts if you need some

 

Wow that's a significant amount of gain! Are the kings a shorter stroke than the LRs?

Edit: Also I know Mike designed the kit/pushes to run the LR bumps over the other hydro ones. Any idea why?

 

They were a 3.5" stroke I believe, these 2" stroke King shorties.

I originally got the LR's based on pictures he had on his site and how the product was labeled. Don't get me wrong over lighter stuff those LR's were butter, but they hung low and over rougher stuff lead to bucking hitting the bump before the bypass even reached the bump zone.

The extra up travel gained made me hit the frame with the rear spring clamps so we cut them off.

 

I have to figure up a motor mount gusset for my 05. Anyone do this?

dmz sells these for 75 a pair i believe. But im sure you could just cut your own

Nice, might have to had Tim add that to my springs

Spring Under Kit?

 

Yup. Should be here in a week lol.

 

I install Tim's gussets on my brothers truck. Super well designed, but an absolute bitch to get to.

 

Great, I have the front end apart right not while I am putting the camburg kit on. Have to weld up there this weekend for the cam tab gussets so I get I will get started on getting the paint off in that area too. Any tips or parts that I shoud just pull to make it easier to weld up there?

 

ive read that (if 4x4) pulling the diff off and steering(which part i dont know) makes it easier for the drivers side install... that was on a Solo kit though.

 

Steering shaft has to come out and i hope you're good at welding by sound

 

Snap crackle and pop is bad.

 

Bacon sizzle is good
