Long Travel BS Thread

Yeah, but my comment was based on the no such thing as a link killer cause I can think of 3 trucks running around vegas in particular that I'd throw down cash on the fact that our truck would spank them. Not all links are equal and just cause you own a welder doesn't mean you should link your truck... These are guys that think cause their trucks are linked they must be god... If only they realized their trucks are... well... less then desirable.

BTW, we don't have "link killer" shocks, we've just got your average run of the mill 3" 3 tube bypass kings that we had TJ Flores tune for us.


This would be one of the local trucks around here I would love to line up against... And he's running a V8 even! LOL



Sweet drop brackets on extended beams with stock steering on dropped pitman arm but caged and linked with a V8!!! The fab work... Ugh... I'm possibly writing checks I can't cash but I'd love the chance to give that thing a run thru the rough, not across a lakebed trying to see who can 3 wheel the best! LOL

 

oh i agree, i just meant compared apples to apples.

 

I will gladly take my 3.0s back then!

 

I don't know what the Giant kit is like but my DMZ kit kicks ass. I'm running 2.5 triples with poly bumps and after a couple revalves and tube adjustment it floats. It can still use some more tuning but I don't feel safe going any faster than I currently do without a cage. Highly, highly recommend the DMZ kit and im sure a few members on here can vouch for that after riding in my truck.

Whatever you do just stay away from the defined kit..total shit If you wanna go fast IMO.

 

^ does it float so well that you would say it's like....butter?

 

Hahah indeed sir!

 

sounds like i need to ride in your truck then cuz i have my defined kit and it doesnt feel to bad to me and im running it with stock shocks at the moment haha i need some 18s real bad

 

My defined kit with 12's floats just fine for me, valved based on Mikes specs and just a 2.5 smooth body with comp adjusters


Jordan there is no point to 18's with the defined kit

 

Come to the desert and hit real whoops then tell me you like the defined kit lol. I ran it for a while and tried tuning but it never really improved. Switched to the DMZ kit without revalving and it was a world of a difference. I believe the stock mounting points with LT leafs is the issue but I'm no fabricator. I'm just going off my personal experience with both kits in the desert.

 

Krish's truck indeed rides very well. After some tuning we did.

 

My kit has delrin bushings all around, ya the poly bushings weren't holding up.

 

Dont take this the wrong way but if you think your truck rides good with stock shocks you have no idea what good is ha.

 

you told me you never revalved your defined kit

 

Your absolutely right this truck is my daily driver also 4x4 so going big isn't my thing. I'm thinking 16" fox 2.5 double bypasses will do me just fine.

 

when i re valved my defined kit it helped so much, and adding weight lol

 

I think one of you guys with your snazzy new trucks that are paid in full need sell it to come buy mine for cash and still have enough left in your pocket to buy a cheap daily driver that gets great MPG and have something for the dirt that actually does pretty good! LOL

I don't even know what a define kit is... Link to a picture or something?

 

can I trade my daily driver for your truck?

 

Defined kit has been great for me (Krish's old kit) but I run around with 200 pounds more than stock in the bed (plate bumper, tire carrier, hi lift, bed cage, etc.)

 

If it's legitimately worth $15K and has a clean free and clear title in your name I'd be open to talking...

 

It's a clean title factory 2007 tC
