Long Travel BS Thread

I just looked at the date I updated my build thread with the pictures haha

 

Jeezus, put a couple dried up sage bushes on it & you'd be super stealth fer sure !! haha...

 

This\/ haha looks great man i want to paint my truck flat black or army green.

 

Hey guys 2.0 or 2.5 bumpstops for the front?? Obviously 2" length

 

2.0. 2.5 is overkill especially for a 1st gen

 

Thanks man^^

 

Recommendation for SS brake lines?

 

I got mine from ALL PRO

 

10 4

 

okay so I have a few stupid questions

1. I was reading on dr that more up travel will help with the bucking, so if I put back in the extra leafs I have from the defined kit....it should help? I have one big leaf and two small ones that go on the bottom..revalving the rebound to.08 too


2. I have negative caster right now..like negative 1.5...would putting the rear heim all the way in even get me back into positive caster??

rear heim


front heim

 

on our trucks the caster is set with the lower arms. are your solid mounted yet..... if not be try to get as much caster by adjusting the lowers and then fine tune the rest of your alignment with the uppers. that's what Im going to do once my heim uppers come in.

 

the lowers are solid mounted already...checked out my shocked and they were .10 comp and .12 rebound....re did them at .08 reb and .12 comp

 

TC uppers have a bit more caster built into them so im really excited that im going to be able to set my ride height exactly where I want it and not have a really catywampus alignment. Also stoked that ill be able to finally run some brand spankin new tires!

 

rear sounds like it'll ride nice, from ride height I have about 7.5 inches of uptravel with my dmz kit

 

yeah im exited to test it out...it was way easier than I thought....I have 6 from top of axle to bottom of bumps...I have a few more leafs I might put back in though

 

Do it! I wish I had more up travel
Edit, bro I'm off work come over and let's put those leafs in

 

Can anyone recommend a quality 5pt harness, I like the camlock design but the hook and latch will work. Wondering what my options are other than corbeau.

Also any place that sells fuel cells other than summit?

 

Made some good process today, stopped in and lent a hand as the gopher today at the shop. Rear frame is getting wrapped, cross supports and bumper going on next. Rear is looking right at 19" of travel right now, will more than likely be strapped at 18". Should all be done early next week, pretty pumped!

 

looks awesome man, i want travel like that

do you know if you have any drive shaft plunge? my leafs pull my axle forward so far it pushes the driveline into the tranny to far (thats why im strapped short).

 

I had my driveshaft shortened with the Defined kit due to this. They don't seem to think it needs to be shortened anymore.

Only thing they are concerned with is that I may be sitting a little stinkbug with the F70's
