Long Travel BS Thread

Obviously not, unfortunately....
Will they clear the frame? Doesn't look like it to me.

 

or get 3.5/3.75 BS wheels?

 

I can fit my full fist back there.


Also is there anyway that these tires being 1/4"-1/2" wider could cause this?

 

and its dirt cheap lol

 

How much room when it's articulated the other way though?

 

Oh well why the hell would they put the shock that far off the frame? But yeah try flipping the shocks.

 

I knew a chick that could do that.

 

Both sides in that picture had at least 3" between shock body and frame. The resi is not on the sides, just the bypass tubes so it should be ok.

 

Also is there anyway that these tires being 1/4"-1/2" wider could cause this?

 

If you have that much room between the frame and shock..i see no reason why they aren't mounted an 1'' at least in more..

 

So how much front travel do you have with the ORIs?? 11.5" like you said or 9"?

 

My tires rub my smothbody shocks at full bump too...

 

Does anyone know the dimensions for the uniballs that go into King 2.5" PR shock ends? Mine are loose and the manual I have doesn't have a ID/OD/Height. Thanks!

 

Not really, they probably cycled the leafs and probably didnt articulate them with the shocks and tires on to see.

Ya the TG motor mounts are not true solid mounts. So the reasons u mentioned about frame flex and torque twist is what stopped use from solid mounting or boxing in the stock trans mount. I knew u don't wanna solid the trxns without doing the motor....but what about the opposite solid motor mnts and stock trans?

Do you think it would be bad to box in the stock trans mount and make totally solid? When said frame flex happens if it's solid mounted wouldn't it transfer to the crossmember? The 5spd mount 4xinovations sells is basically a solid mount

Any suggestions for the trans mount to strengthen it?

Ya u were right it was his lol sorry any pics of what u did on ur trans? Any worries of that frame flex transferring through solid trans mount and ripping or messing up crossmember or anything?

I just would rather have the weak link b the mount not the trans itself or the crossmember....but still would like to strengthen it.



We finished up the motor mounts today! All gussets done! Thanks JD for the great templates!!! Shit wasn't to bad just not much room to reach in from any angle, the TC coil bucket/uca gussets didn't help either big props to Anthony DTF for helping knock it out!!!!

 

Its a Rigid Industries Race Bar. It has Brake lights, Turn Signals, Dust lights and a work light all in one bar. The Denton Racing 6100 truck has one on the back.

 

What do you guys with double dins do? My head unit flops all around while out in the desert.

 

Shove shims (folded up receipts) around it till it doesn't squeak or move.

 

Well it depends on what you count as travel I guess. With the shocks and bumps in I lose about 1/4" droop and 1/4" stuff with the weight of vehicle squishing the bumps. So about 11" total. If you only count til the bumps are touching the strike pad then probably somewhere between 9-10". I know a lot of companies like to advertise what they get without limit straps and bumps in though.

Odd. I haven't noticed mine move at all. I didn't install mine though. It was in there when I bought my Tacoma. Shims are an easy fix though.

 

Mine always used to pop out but I wrapped the four clips with electric tape so it fits tighter and haven't had issues since.
