Long Travel BS Thread

get it as close as you can, then drive it to the alignment shop. piece of cake. they will really be able to center everything up for you.

 

Yeah guys, ran the Deaver E-30 pack this last weekend at the Barstow race. Pack worked flawless and I am Defenetly using this pack from now on!!
Put hard Barstow racing miles on the E-30 and even got 2nd place (missed first by only 2 minutes against a 6 cyl).
The pack might not be for everyone, but a truck like mine it was perfect. I was actually surprised how well it worked. Aaron my co-pilot will tell you the same. If anybody has questions, let me know. Im meeting with jeff at Deaver later this week.

 

TC +2 kit install today. Got my ass kicked by the axles. Ended up having to cut the axles and use an 80 ton press to break the snap ring. I really hate the 2nd gen axles

 

When trying to pop the CV joints off the shaft right? Jesus! I just whacked mine a few times with a 4 pound mini sledge and they popped free.

Looks nice though!!

 

Or you can try this method as well that works really good most of the time since the outer is essentially a birfield joint ..

That's normally how I do it, but this one wasn't having it.

 

So i saw you guya make a race kit for first gens.

 

Ya, it uses the stock bearings and hubs to keep the cost reasonable

Getting there slowly. So far leafs cycle 18" and mocked up shock so its getting roughly 17.50" of travel , at 10*degrees angle forward.
