Long Travel BS Thread

brand new fresh out of the box


hahaha



but seriously what should i do

 

get kings

 

i could but that would be expensive and id like it to match all the sway away stuff up front...they offered to re plate all my shocks for free....but i think i remember people saying sway away shocks are really hard to take apart?

 

yeah, good stuff

 

no harder then any other shock, id just take them off and throw some paint on them if you don't want to worry about taking them apart. doesn't matter what they look like on the outside, as long as they do their job

 

just wire wheel the rust off then paint? also measure hanger to hanger and got like 56.5...so guess im gonna have to fix that.

 

52.5 is the magic number. Just did my sua

 

i just cant believe mine is so far off from 52.5 lol

 

ya must not have been running good.

 

Shouldn't be any harder than anyone else's. It's the rust you are going to have to fight. When Anthony250 took my SAWs apart he didn't appear to have any more/less trouble than with my Kings.

 

^^ Correct SAW's are very simple to take apart. Three allen screws for the dust cap, then push down... pop clip out.... slide whole assembly out. Personally painting them is not a bad idea ,but if you can afford the recoating from them Id try to do that. And if you redo the eye to eye leaf measurement gotta redo the shock mounts too.

 

What length shackles does it have?

 

9" through the frame

 

Then you don't want the 52.5. The 52.5 is only for a 12" shackle. So you should ideally be at 55.5 but 56.5 is damn close. It will actually help with you having the heavy bed still on the truck.

 

Just finished this truck with a new kit we designed. 13.5" travel and lower uniball. 3.5 over with 4wd.

 

That's a purdy kit. Still diggin that 2nd gen race kit .

 

Time for a first gen race kit?

 

FTFY

 

Yes! I wish there was a 2" over kit...

 

They have a 2+ for 2nd gens and stock replacement lowers for 2nd gens.
