Long Travel BS Thread

I run Deaver 62" with a 9" shackle through the frame. I'm at 57" from front hanger to rear shackle hanger.

Ride Height



Shackle angle at ride height.

 

sweet...anyone know the bolt size that goes through the shackle and leaf? a 22 impact socket fits on the head side but not on the other

 

I believe it's a 9/16 through the eyelet on the leaf. My f67s were anyways

 

Save the $$ and just paint them yourself. Did mine with 3 cans of duplicolor and 3 cans of clear. Just make sure you prep the glass before painting! I am far from a painter but after wetsanding down to 1600 (started with 800 on the clear) and buffing with compound they look really good! Cost was under $80 in luring the compound and new buffer pad.
That said if you want a pro paint job pay for one. If you pull the glass off it should save you a few $$$

 

Thats what I was thinking too but red seems like red would be hard to match compared to black or gunmetal. $80 is worth trying it myself and it looks like crap ill wait until I have enough money to piss away to get painted haha

 

anyone have any fox or sway away 2.0x4 bumps for sale? or see any?

 

hahahahaha! It's a 9/16" bolt invest in some 7/8" and 13/16" sockets

I can get fox for a decent price hit me up if you want to buy new.

 

Im actually selling dtf eric my set of 2.0 x 4 inch sway aways

 

The red dragon will make use of them

 

Haha yep!

 

ill go grab some from work

i would prefer saw just match all my other saw stuff...but if i buy knew ill hit you up


also any idea on valving for 3.0x16 tripples? the rear was terribly stiff with tons of weight in the bed.

My truck is the radiant red also and I just rattle canned them. Primer, paint and cpl clear coats all rattle can. I use rustoleum "sunrise" red (or "sunfire red" I believe it's the first one lol) and it matched pretty dam close!!! I did no color sanding or any sanding lol.

 

Wow. That looks....terrible.







j/k that looks great im sold, looks like Ill be picking up a couple cans of rustoleum, thanks for the help!

 

No problem.

 

Any idea what was in there? I'd try 10 comp 8 rebound with all bleeds open if it was stiff before

 

Since we are on the topic...

my rear is 12 comp 20 flutter 8 rebound. 18" dbl bypasses

I have comp completely open and still to stiff. Should I drop to a 10 or what would u suggest I try first? Also I think u recommend me ditching the flutter stack last time we talked, right?

 

no clue what was in there..im going to pull them apart soon....open is screwed all the way in? or all the way out?

 

out

 

I don't really use flutters on bypass shocks, let the tubes do their job. Try stepping down a 10 on comp, also check and see how many bleed screws are in the piston, take them all out if you need to
