Long Travel BS Thread

Prep day, Painted all the hoops, welds and everything that needed it. Greased all bushing etc, torqued everything down. Now the rear feels nice and solid.

 

The channels we use in the desert aren't really used by the "ham radio" guys, plus the radios don't transmit very far compared to what they're using so I'm not too worried about it

 

Since I know nothing about the antennas is there one you recommend?

 

a 19" 1/4 wave by Larsen will be sufficient, for a little extra ooomph a 36" 5/8 wave antenna will be great. most effective and efficient place to mount the antenna is on the roof rather it be a mag mount or a NMO style through the roof...

heims instead of uniballs...hmm

 

Awesome shock angle.

The kit im getting
complete bolt on kit with shocks. cycles 13" wheel travel, comes with upper and lower a arms, fabricated spindles with chevy 1500 hubs, extended tie rods, limit straps, 2.5x8 saw coilovers, kit is +6 on each side. built by Moores Metal Works.

 

Why does it only cycle 13" of travel and its 6" over per side?

 

but ive asked a lot of people about the kit and only heard good things about it so im not worried. Im sure the spindles are giving it a lot of extra track width as well.

 

Because he is still using the stock coil bucket. Only an 8 inch single rate coilover. You can only get so much travel out of that mounting spot. If he does an engine cage and shock loops with a bigger shock, the kit will gain more travel.

 

Solid kit forsure, i was just curious about the travel #'s

 

I had a friend that had that kit. I guess He said it worked good and lasted

 

dont know why i didnt think of this! haha

ya stoked to be apart of the LT crew

 

With stock coil bucket 17" is still achievable. So that shouldn't be a limiting factor

 

Hell yeah the more LT guys the better!

 

I like my mid travel

 

i said this for a while, and i loved my MT! then i kept going bigger, and pushing my truck harder and it was just to much for my Mid travel.

 

That happens to many of us!! It will never end. Mine is now a fully built race truck not street legal...lol
