Long Travel BS Thread

Finally completed the rear winch project. Now I need to clean up the remnants of the old tire carrier and build the new one.

 

Just run an 8" and keep it simple. ADS makes a short body 8" coilover for me that uses their OEM seal head and is a really nice shock for a DD application

 

ORI's have a short body as well. They are an air strut instead of a coilover though. I'm running an 8" with stock length uppers and lowers although 2.5" of travel isn't being used.

 

if it were my DD i would definetly keep it simple but its not going to be and since i have a 4.5 over kit i might as well utilize whats available. sadly i stopped keeping it simple long ago

 

ill be running the same kit, taking my truck into btf tomorrow actually.. wish it was for LT tho

 

BTF!

 

more pics please?!?

thoughts?

 

Invisible cv axles

 

I noticed that too haha. And stock spindles... just gonna build mine. Plus 2wd death slide in snow is fun... kinda

 

take those bumps off asap, or get some strike pads on the arms... otherwise bad things happen

 

There isn't a different spindle u can run with 4x4

 

Ok guys so we solid mounted the motor with the trail gear bomb proof mounts. Now for the tranny, is it bad to completely solid mount it? Like box it in with no movement, cuz the TG motor mnts do have a very small very hard rubber between the two parts?

Any thoughts?

 

The rubber Is there probably just for the ease on your ears

 

You need some rubber

 

I took out most of the movement out of the tranny mount with tubing and a rubber pad.

 

I dont know alot about LT but thats what I'm thinking, those rubber mounts are absorbing shock as well as making things "smoother", if that energy is transferred to a "metal to metal" situation I cant help but think that somethings going to grenade that'll be more severe than just torn rubber, i dunno just a thought

 

Are they bomb proof mounts? They have a little bit of poly rubber in them. You'll need to solid mount ur tranny now as well. I've been running and beating the hell out of my truck with those mounts. Works great, only bummer is lots of vibration
