Long Travel BS Thread

Also, is there anyone local to Socal (Santa ana area) that can help me with nitro charging my shocks??

 

They don't call them "Fox of Asia" for nothin'!

 

hahahaha jesus. yeah needless to say i didn't choose the foa's, and fortunately theyre the only the rear bumpstops. does anyone know if its possible to sleeve a 2.0 bumpstop into a 2.5 can? or anyone know any fox/swayaway/king 2.5" bump stops for sale?

 

check out ADS. Mathew at MCM is a retailer. reasonable prices.

 

150 psi is way to much for a 2.5 bump stop...Jordan had to run like 50psi on his 2.5 rears

 

i know i would never run them that high but i was just trying to get the bastards to extend

 

question for you!
i see you cut off the back of the frame? why?
dont most people do it before the rear axle to get more bump travel? it seems you still have frame where the axle is.
just curious

 

Well be wise of the shorter coilovers that AP uses vs a regular 8" coil over I couldn't get the 18" springs on.

If anyone wants a set of brand new 18" 650 pound eibach springs, let me know, I will save you a little off what you'd pay retail.

 

even using a spring compressor?

 

8" SAW coil overs for 500 bucks... someone hop on it

im bumped at the bottom of the frame so i can keep the top of the diff below the top of the frame. im putting in a flat deck area and dont want to cut out a window for the top of the diff to pop through at bump. i probably should have cut it off behind the cab but the frame was nice and straight right up till where i cut it off. one of those learn as you go projects.

 

ahh gotcha!!
looking good man

 

its getting there. i have like a week and a half to finish lol. its a fun project for sure.

 

better get on it! lol

 

Yep. I'm sure a larger shop unit could have got it on but it would have been under preload the same amount the 16" spring is.

 

Anyone Stoked the Dakar is starting Sunday? There is something right about Racing trucks the size of a garbage truck with Mini coopers

What gear ratio would you guys recomend for a first gen double cab v6 auto on 35s? 4.88? 5.29?

 

That's so sicj

 

I want to say 5.29's but I'm kind of a go big or go home person (I'm running 4.88's because there are no 5.29's for the front diff on 2nd gens). The 1st gen auto is pretty high geared compared to the manual though too so that's all the more reason to get 5.29's.

 

Ill be installing a new third member with 5.29's tomorrow. even on myextra cab the current 4.88's dont seem adequate (at least to me)
