Long Travel BS Thread

I didn't know that.

 

Thats why it was funny..haha

 

i need 2 uniballs bad

 

Would it be foolish to go ahead and get the gussets while on stock suspension O.O;;

 

Not at all. You'll want to do it after you upgrade anyways.

 

Well, looks like I need to order some parts them

 

How much bed do you have left? I have like 1/3 left with the spare, 1/2 without it.

 

hes not running a conventional 3 or 4 link. standard lower links with a panhard style 3rd link. no forward facing upper links to get in the way of the gas tank or anything else.

 

woop, there it is.

 

I want your set up.

 

It's a good learning point for anyone else who might do the same thing.

I made the same mistake with my front bypass tabs on my first truck. I had the tabs burned in before I got my bypasses. Once I got the bypasses I thought "just bolt them on and I'm good." The tabs were way off so I had a few beers, cleared my mind and cut the tabs off. The next time I cycled the suspension and then burned the tabs in.

You live and you learn right.

 

just ordered Giant's beam conversion crossmember, pivots, and swinger steering. toss on a late 80's 4x4 steering box and bam. party time.

 

How is the spare mounted and did you make it or buy it?

 

Is that a diamond axle I see in the pic?

 

Thats a Ruffstuff 9" axle.

 

It has a spare hub under it that's bolted through the bed.

 

Oh ok thanks

 

Is that tank nitro?

 

Noup, welded them for the dtf kit
