Long Travel BS Thread

Opinions?

I see they only come in 37s and 39s.

I will be running the BFG BAJAs as I got a smoking deal on 6 of em.

 

My buddy has them on his LS ranger. Those tires are bitchin'

Poor Tacos...

They couldn't find some older, cheaper trucks to use as targets... we never blew up any vehicles in Afghanistan that nice!

 

Eh, what's a $30,000 target when you are firing $80,000 missiles off of a $56,500,000 platform? Shit JDAM's are only $25K...yeah they aren't capable of hitting a moving target, but you only have to get close with one of those....

 

anyone here run a shorter radiator on the 3.4?

I like the how the griffins are so much thicker but I can't seem to find a griffin radiator with the same inlet/outlet size (I think 1 5/16"). I already have an external tranny cooler so loosing the built in heat exchanger wouldn't be an issue.

What about a radiator from a 3.0?

 

Any of you know someone with or have a Lt bronco?

 

Yeah a few

 

I think it's funny that those Brimstone missiles are supposed to be better somehow haha they're worse than what's currently out there.

 

Any info on there rear setup ? Trying to figure out what I want to do with mine.. Not actually going long travel but trying to get the best performance I can on a budget.. Was thinking about doing sua with deavers and 5100s but can't seem to find any info on a setup like this anywhere.. Its all big travel number stuff i know "duh" but just at a loss on where to find help for what I'm trying to do so trying to find someone with knowlage on the.

 

I've seen people running Deavers the shocks under the bed mounted to a cross bar and pulling like 14-16" of travel. I'd do 2.5"s not the 5100.

 

Price is a big delema for me and fades not really a issue for me I wouldn't think.. What are you he arguments for the 2.5?

Also trying to keep everything bolt on I don't really need more travel just trying to get it smooth on fire roads around 45-50 mph.. Right now it had blocks and bracket lift so... Pretty much anything is better lol

 

Everyone always goes there... Lol

 

2.5"s and 5100 are not even comparable but if you don't need it that's understandable

 

My question was in ignorance.. I truly do not know. The benefits of a 2.5 over a 2.0 other then more fluid ?

 

Yes more fluid, more piston area and more valving. The 5100 is not a real 2.0 though. It's not rebuildable or revalvable. It's very similar to stock shock just the next step up

 

The bolded is why I wouldn't go with the 5100's.

 

Hmm the main reason I was considering it is because both the performance and prerunner camburg kit come with 5100s.. Guess I should keep reading.. I am by no means going for anything near what y'all due.. But I am in Texas it its all... "SAS!!!!!!"... And just not what I want this bronco is for camping and I enjoy the fire roads we have and zooming around on them and just want a not so harsh ride

 

These two links I had saved.... I'm thinking about getting the one low range offers

This one Anthony sent me, it's actually referenced in the 1st link...

Well after some internal debate, I ordered the 51" baja designs onx bar with the high speed spot option. If I don't like it I'll throw it on the tundra and get some HIDs
