+SconnieHailer's Build & BS+

Poser shots inbound... My leafs are for sure limiting lots of droop, lame. Calling Allpro tomorrow.

Snowed like a banshee for a while then bam just done and sunny.

Were you a little stuck here or were you able to just back out?

 

just backed out. only almost got stuck in 2wd in a wet spot.

 

Oh sh!t. Got a little slidewayz!

 

haha, just barely... tough with gear and tent onboard!

 

FUCK YEA!!! that's a good video!

love the shock relocation man

i kinda like the clear coat on the upper mount too..goes good with the kings

if i were to do a relocation, i'd be going this route for sure..but between the mount, shocks and bumps that's a pretty penny

 

Nah, just add more throttle haha

 

Thanks Bob!

It'd be even better if I hadn't forgotten to change my camera to hd!

Don't forget about install... Yea, its not a quick and easy/cheap solution but damn is it awesome compared to stockish setup. It feels bottomless when romping down a good trail.

 

lolz, was on the floor! I even bobbed it half corner to get the rear end to rotate a bit! Neeeed SUPCRCHARGER!!!

 

I like the sound of that! Bottomless

 

And/or gears

 

Touche

Also, getting used to the clicking of the bumps.... Just have to think "racetruck parts make racetruck noises"...

 

This definitely takes some getting used to. Just think tho, when you add secondary bypasses up front to handle all that weight you will already be used to the clicking and it wont bother you at all.

 

haha, "when"... By the way Tyler, this is a pic of ride height before we started chopping at CBI...

 

I suppose the leaf pack looks a bit flat, considering its unloaded. Is there a spring shop anywhere around you? you might be able to put a little arch back in them. Mine have a bit more arch at static load than yours do unloaded. Yours may have just gone a bit flat, right pedal will do that to em sometimes

 

Another thing, damn, CBI does some nice work. Kinda peeped around a bit at their stuff when I saw your install pictures.

 

That picture is ride height with the weight I carry around all the time. near 400# with tent, rack, parts and tool tote in the bed. Closest shop i know of is alcan in grand junction CO. There might be one closer though.

 

Yea, great shop and guys!

 

Hmm, if thats loaded then they do look pretty close to correct considering the load you carry. You might call AllPro and talk to Kurtis a bit and see if they have seen any inconsistencies. They get their springs from Betts and they are a pretty good spring shop. Its odd that the shackle wont fall forward, that typically happens when the spring runs out of travel, which yours are doing so almost doesnt seem like a spring issue. Its hard to diagnose without being there, its almost like there is something hanging up or a driveline bind not allowing the axle to move slightly forward.

Edit: If a spring pack does not droop out far enough the eye to eye length could cause the shackle to not fall forward as well. The more it droops the closer the eyes come together allowing the collapse forward

 

ORV that drifts?!?! Yeah....that just happened.

Racetruck gears & Racetruck S/C = Monster ORV. ^_^
