Long Travel BS Thread

15-16 is really good for a 2nd Gen LT truck with 33s. With 35s I got around 13-14

 

Your lucky, I bet mine is around 10 or 12. 35's with 4.88's, stock motor. Still cheaper for me to dd the truck then buy another car and insure it though.

 

I'm getting 10-12 on 35s, stock gears and 4x4.

 

You also have to factor in regular maintenance of the third vehicle to.

 

Looking at this 2.5 16" king coilovers pure race series

Is there a big difference between the performance series and the pure race series king shocks?

 

I have a diesel Jetta wagon for a dd and it was a big savings in fuel but I do drive a fair distance. Truck gets 12mpg and wagon gets 40+. Fuel savings more than makes up for my car payment. Also adding a 3rd car didn't hurt my insurance that much. I was going through tires on the truck so probably close to breaking even.

 

Anyone planning on going to the Rigid Industries SCORE Desert Challenge September 26-28 in Plaster City?

 

alright ya'll dez rats I need some alignment advice. I have the all pro LT, and if some of you could just post up your favorite alignment specs that would be killer. I haven't been able to find a setup that I'm happy with. Currently camber is as close to 0 as it will go, caster is 3.3 degrees, and toe is slightly in at .06 degrees I'm looking for something that doesn't wander like a drunk hooker all over the place. Thanks!

 

Allpro lt here as well, camber is 0, toe is 0 and caster is at 4. Drives perfectly straight at 60mph

 

you sir, are a saint. Thank you!
If anyone else has any recommendations, chime in!

 

thats by superstition right?

 

Correct

 

Looks rad, good job.

 

I requested the time off, planning on rolling out there for Saturday and maybe Friday night

 

Looking for some input on my bump stop strike plates

The bigger and thicker the better... Leaf springs like to dance around.

 

For my little beater DD car, the multi car discount was more than what the actual insurance was so I was getting paid to insure my car. I love having a 2nd vehicle. It gets almost 3 times the MPG my taco gets, it saves my tires and miles on the motor and it's there if I don't finish that weekend project on the Taco.

 

A raised bump pad is not uncommon and yes a wide strike plate like Supermoto said, leaf springs are like noodles.

You will need wheel spacers for wheel to shock/bump clearance if you didn't know that already. I like 1.5" hub-centric spacers.
If the shocks could go the other way with the resi and bypass tubes at the front it would give you some more tire to shock clearance too, looks like the front tube of the hoop could be in the way though.

 

All right who was that had a 3.0 radiator they bought that decided they weren't gonna use....

 

I did but sold it, lol Check online for actual 3.4 ones so they bolt in , they like $150
