NJ B.S. Thread

I like the inboarding better that the shock relo kits I've seen...

 

I wonder if he modified the truck first and measured for the shocks or just took a guess and ordered them before measuring droop/stuff.

Ill send him a text at 3am tonight and ask him

 

Except for the fact you loose so much when angling them. Inboarding will be horrible at speed vs standard relocation.

I know no one locally who has inboarded shocks. They all just relocate the mounts, but they also like speed.

4" shackles, inboarded shocks, no sway bar is pushing it way past a DD IMHO, but then again it's not his DD LOL.

 

I wanna go yakking

 

I was talking to him about it and mentioned he should use a forklift to see what his max/mins can be at for whatever angle he needed. He said he had access to one but I'm not sure if he went that route or not.

I was also wondering if inboarded would make it less stable at speed considering all the LT guys go SUA and keep the shocks vertical.

 

Just cause there is beer doesn't mean I will drink it... I'm not looking for a dui to fuck my chances of getting into the CG... I didn't drink at the beach parade

Im like give or take an hour 45 from you and Ant...

But now that I have the CG coming up quick I am being more cautious about what I do and when with the "sodas"

Think he said he used Mojo's measurements if I am not mistaken

 

I want to have a solid mid travel setup so I can mob through this section at a semi decent speed eventually:

At 4:33

 

yea i don't understand why there aren't kits for in boarding.

He didn't order the shocks. they were mojo's and he wasn't going to use them so ant bought them.

exactly, its not his DD, and with 36's and 4.56 gears he's not building a truck for high speed.

 

Only if you bring them Kevin lol

 

French Creek?

 

Hibernia. French creek was where we all went as a group.

 

We went to marsh creek

 

Right, need more sleep. Haven't tried camping/kayaking at french creek yet. The camping looks to be pretty far from the lake.

 

I wanna do it now...

 

For sure.

I actually can think of no positive benefits that would lead anyone to do such a thing like inboarding, except getting used shocks cheap and making them work.


These guys seem to get their shit right when they talk shocks (same place as chart) http://www.4x4review.com/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-shock-absorbers/

Just stop drinking.

Because it sucks

There is only so much droop an axle can handle before the slip joint becomes un-slipped and most of the guys willing to push that hard have zero issues cutting the bed to extend the travel correctly. Before TW I always looked at inboared trucks and laughed at them and now it's all the rage. Even when Lurry did his we busted his stones and made fun of it. For a little more effort you could have a much better set up, but it would poke through the bed.


Inboarding expensive resi shocks blows me mind

 

mean driveshaft not axle when referring to slip yolk LOL..

 

I myself thought Ant was going to install them straighter until i saw the pics…. perhaps similar to stock

 

It's pretty popular with the first gen guys... I get that you can squeeze a longer shock in but I can see why either... I'm by no means an expert though.

I do think it looks cool though

 

mojos measurements were to the bamf tower, with an entirely different shackle setup, I don't see how they could be any help to ant.

P.S. I can say because the measurements were taken in my back yard

 

Check out this link...http://www.4x4review.com/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-shock-absorbers/

"Leaf Spring, Rear Axle

Your rear shock absorbers should be mounted as far outboard as possible as well, and in as close to perpendicular to the travel of the suspension. Referring to the location of the shackles above, you’ll want to rake the shock absorbers forward or aft-ward appropriately."


Not only will the ride at any speeds faster than crawling suffer severely it will also introduce a whole new level of axle wrap to the table.

Looks can be deceiving when considering actual use.

LMAO

first hand knowledge...WTF....who you kidding man
