Long Travel BS Thread

Yea ok.

Yea I was agreeing with you. No true 4 link is a dd kit.

 

Agreed, I just read your post wrong.

Giant called their kit a DD kit because it keeps the stock tank and full bed.

 

Exactly. I have been thinkin about it myself. Seems like a nice kit and good idea.

Either that or just a normal 3 link.

 

Ask Jason how it handles...

 

Ah didn't know he had first hand experience haha he told me a strain 3 link would be better....

 

Better yeah probably for simplicity's sake... Just depends how bad you want your stock tank and bed. Off road it handles just as well as any linked truck I've ever driven.

 

Good to know.

Not sure what ill do when the time comes. But it's a long ways off anyways haha

 

Mine will be for sale this summer. I'll be building something very similar but without the air shocks. And a single upper link.

 

yea i read a thread on DR about a guy thinking of doing that...either that or it was you haha

Basicaly getting rid of the air shocks and just adding the single upper link to make it a 3 link setup.

I won't be able to buy it this summer haha i have money going other places this summer/spring.

 

It was probably me ha. I want to keep the stock tank because I live in CA and any fuel cells being legal here is coming to an end. I do think this kit is cool but I want the pinion change and roll center fixed and not variable. And a standard sway bar.

 

yea one of the reasons im thinkin of just doing a 3 link with the trailing arms for CO. Plus less things to break with the two air shocks. It is a cool idea though.

 

This kit still used a standard coilover and bypass on the trailing arm. The air shocks just set the pinion angle and help with sway.

 

Yea i know. Im just saying two less things to break. Plus if they both blow on you...your screwed haha. Can limp it home..but still. Considering how much force they fight all the time while being used. I bet the seals get their fair share of abuse. Have you had any issues with yours?

 

Not at all, I rebuilt them just to be safe but the seals were perfect. radflo built them to take the load, opening them is fucking brutal! I have 510psi in mine with no problems.

 

Haha! Well good to know.

We shall see in time what I end up with

 

Is the dd link kit better than their link killer kit? The 64 with tuned kings, just curious on if the benefits are that much better.

 

Whats this talk about fuel cells coming to an end?

 

You think CA is going to continue to let that shit fly without companies paying for their products to be carb certified?

 

ya and @16-20k for a cert process and review not many (0) will attempt EOing a cell.

 

Price will be gnarly too
