Long Travel BS Thread

Exactly!

 

I've been considering it to cut down on splash back on high speed water crossings. As it is now I'm blind for a few seconds even with the wipers on panic.

Also...hey, I might be able to squeeze another 5mph out of er.

Do you really only have 2500 miles on your truck?

 

Ya, ya, it's a single owner, well maintained, never offroad, only driven on sunday, CLEAN CARFAX, extensive maintenance records!


I should have been a used car salesman.

 

I hate to interrupt the awesomeness that has been going on but I need some guidance..

I have the 50t pack and I fabbed up some 12" shackles..

My dilemma..I sag..bad..so besides re-arching the leafs..can i also increase or decrease my shackle length to achieve less sag?

Thanks in advance guys!!

 

Pic is while truck is jacked up..

Also..installing 2.5" dia. 18" stroke Kings..so revalving can help too right?

 

id suggest trading for my defined kit....

 

Haha..I cant go backwards

 

I "TROLOLOLOL'ed"

 

is anyone with a DCSB with rear LT running a 1 piece shaft?

if so, pics please.

i did solid CB, and it vibrates like a sex store pleasure chest.

 

What is your weight situation look like?

Your shackles should be a lot straighter at full droop.

My 12" and 50t drooped but I was very heavy out back. I spoke with Deaver and we determined I needed my shackles to be clocked closer to the cab.

I switched to 13" and it helped .5/1" but finally switching to a custom shorter length pack fixed all my issues.

 

That's making me nervous I hope you have some red loctight on there.

Did they cycle it?

 

Cycle which?

My old 50t was cycled multiple times. My new pack has not yet.

 

Is anyone up for a last minute Mojave Trail Run over Memorial Day weekend? I am planning on doing the entire trail Sat and Sun.

 

Weight is only 2 spares and some tube work..

I was thinking I need to make a longer shackle

 

Nylock nut with red loctite everytime FTW

 

A longer shackle will only do so much. It will swing your shackle angle away from the cab causing a little height increase as well as preload the springs. This will increase the spring rate and harshness more than height gain.

If I was more patient I probably could have done what JBerry did. It would have been cheaper than a full new pack.
