Long Travel BS Thread

I was able to get 18" springs on and off with no compressor. Did you loosen the top collar all the way?

 

nice, is that something i should ask for at the back of the store or what?

 

so i took my truck out yesterday after i got it back with an engine hoop, holy moly does it make such a difference. the whole front of the truck feels solid as a rock now. needless to say, im more that stoked on the way it came out.

edit, here are a few pictures. couple more are in my build thread

 

Nice B! On my list for next mod after rear lt....

 

thanks man!! next thing im doing is the TC coil bucket gussets and then doing my cam tabs. after that the front should be pretty solid for the time being.

 

Built Right also makes both and stocks them in house

 

are the built right ones any different from the tc ones?

 

would there be any benefit switching my defined kit to a traditional style shackle ??

 

More droop and a bigger spring pack like something Rj has

 

Anything would be a benefit honestly. I'm not too sure what the differences are between the drop-down style an inverted, they ride the same to me. But the defined kit is not for any serious offroaders that want some comfortably.

 

hahaha

can I use a 50t pack with stock front hanger? only reason I ask is because brian did with his f67's

 

Works for me but i use my truck quite a bit differently than you guys do

 

Stock hanger n stock location....I don't think so cuz the 50t is a longer leaf pack. Which would move ur axle back and not centered in wheel well. I'm sure it can be done.....just my 2¢ for wut lil I've learned so far. I may be wrong, it's happened before

 

Pretty much the same, they have a BR laser cut on them that is about it. Just another option.

 

How much longer is the 50T leaf pack than the factory 2nd gen leaf pack? And are there pre-made leaf hangers that you guys use for that leaf pack or do you have custom ones fabbed?

 

Do any of you know where to get extended parking brake cables?

 

Anybody running the BR steering rack bushing kit on a second gen? How big is the difference over stock?

No you cant. I dont even know how he could lol. I would personally do a tradition drop shackle 12".

 

Yes you can use any hanger that fits, Total chaos ones, and ones of Ruff Stuff or even some time and a little sheet metal.

 

thats exactly what i have haha
