Won't be taking my truck but I'll be out there

 

Does anyone have a passenger side seat belt receptacle laying around? One of mine got a soda poured in it and now wont lock.

 

Pull it out, spray a shit load of brake cleaner in it, let dry, then wd40. Ask me how I know...

 

its going....

 

Looks good! Nice and wide!

 

50"er ?

 

Looking for some input from people expirenced with 2" and 2.5" bypasses. Besides the shorter shock body can I get away with 2.0s on the front of my truck, as far as heating issues? For what I do I don't think I will over heat one but you never know? I was told the 2.0s are rated for 45 minutes full compression/rebound through whoops at 100mph before boiling. Where as the 2.5s are rated for 9hrs.

I have 2.0s that are uninstalled, but might cut the the chase and get the bigger ones?

 

This is very very wrong ha 100mph???? you'll be boiling 2.5s after a 100ft.

 

Haha you think? Sorry for the wording and I don't know why it was stated in that way but it is clearly not real world numbers. If it took 45min for a 2.0 to reach boiling temp the equivalent of a 2.5 is 9hrs. So a increase of only .5" in diameter is a 12:1 ratio in its ability to resist heating.

 

Are you racing the Baja 1000 or 300 mile desert races??

If you just drive on trails for fun and Mall Crawl, you don't need anything bigger than a 2.0 or 2.5 Bypass with your coilover. Your not going to Boil your shocks just trail cruising.
Like Landon said, if your going 100 mph+ thru whoops for 45 minutes straight the rest of your truck is proboably destroyed along with boiled shocks

 

I know 2.5s are plenty, just got a good deal on 2.0s and was curious? The longest section of whoops I hit are probably 100-200 yards, but I also wanted to mess around on the track that has a small whoop section and a few table tops.

 

2.0s will suit you just fine.

i drive my truck all day mashing on it with just coilovers up front.
you dont need bypasses, they are just nice.

 

you'll be fine with the 2.0s

 

My 2.0 resi's get pretty hot after 30-40 minutes of continous mashing around, but it probably doesn't help that I may or may not be running power steering fluid . You should be totally fine, put the money you save into bumps or bypasses

 

i believe he has 2.0 bypasses and 2.5 coilovers up front, thats what he was referring to.

but yes he is going to be just fine haha

 

Yeaa!

 

Yes 2.5 coilovers and installing the 2.0 bypasses soon.
