Long Travel BS Thread

I just figured the bushing was more for the top plate adapters. I'm cutting out the coil bucket and connecting everything to an engine cage and using regular tabs for the upper mount

 

More please

Alright I do a little work to see more

 

Anybody heard anything about Camburg's SUA kit lately?

 

I have some 16" 600lb Eibach springs you could use with those shocks as well

 

I have a pair of 16" eibach #600 springs off of my Fox's for sale as well

 

Has anyone mentioned this yet? It better not shut down before I get a chance to make it

Do y'all think that some 18" 700#ers would be too much for my 8"ers? Full skid plates, sliders and eventually a plate bumper. Should I just stick with 16" 700#?

 

LT? Who needs it.

 

^Best pass EVER!!

 

If you put a winch in the plate carrier, 700 is a good spring rate.

I plan on swapping my 16'' 600 pound springs to 18'' 650 pound springs when I get home. My current springs sagged badly due to the plate bumper and winch I used to have on the truck.

I bought a spring compressor in preparation, I'm betting the 18'' coil will need to be compressed a little in order to fit. I want that though, I don't want any preload.

 

bumped and strapped. Taking it out today for some desert miles for the first time long traveled.

 

Why is the bump so far down in the mount?

 

because i mounted the damm can an inch to high

 

Damn I hat to say but I don't think they will stay there, its probably going to slide up

 

sleeve a piece of tubing over it

 

idk, its pretty dammm snug! like when i welded it, it got a lot tighter so the bump squeezed in there barely. had to use a rubber mallet, and i torqued the bolts down pretty snug.. I'll see how it does today and if it moves, ill prob do what he said vvv

see this is why i need tacomaworld! thanks man

 

X2 on the sleeve, ive seen too many bump stops fly out *cough cough, Anthony*

 

Ive also seen my buddy's bump stop get stuck halfway because he tightened it too tight, which was weird. When he loosened up the bolts on the can, it worked fine.
