Long Travel BS Thread

This^^^

I'm 3.4 auto with 285 and 4.56... Wish I went 4.88! I'm due for tires and would go 35 but I don't wanna have to regear two diffs again

 

hahahaha yes such a mutant, think you're going to make it to superstition again this year?

 

True. I broke one diff before 3000 miles. But pretty sure it wasn't my fault. I have over 5000 on my second 5.29 third no issues.

And Anthony I'm at 2500rmp at 70 mph and unsure of the mpg because the odometer is fast so it says I go more miles than I really do, I would guess about 15-17 highway

 

I'm running 4.88's with 33's on a 2nd gen auto. I run about 2700 rpm at 75 mph and I still average about 17 mpg on the highway at 75.

I can't say the same for city though. I get about 12 around town but my rig is heavy at 6K lbs.

 

Yup. It's on all 4s. Hard part is done. The work is 100X better than the back half I did. Will cut that off this summer and do it right. That and a motor swap. I WILL be in super. Swapping in the new rear end this week and on to steering and engine cage. Followed by cab cage.

 

4.30's, 35's, 4.0 v6, 6 speed.

 

Sick! Build thread anywhere?

Nice! Cant wait to see that thing mobbing again. Hopefully we get to rip around longer this time before you tear the link mount! I dumped that bitchy ex gf so this year will be a lot more fun, I have a ton to do this month too but I should be good to go in time.

Anyone have 3.0 coils laying around? I'm looking for 350 over 450. Will get size measurements tomorrow morning.

 

I have a lot of cutting and grinding to do on the rear pivots to keep them attached. I should start a build thread on here.

 

No build thread

 

I think I may lean towards the 4.88... May even look into that 4.78 that came outta the t100 too. Since i can just swap one in. And currently with my 35's with 4.30's im doing roughly 2K at 70MPH with not so good street MPG and a good hwy mpg.

 

I have 4.88 and its perfect

 

Is there any other axle option for the 3.5" TC kit, or is it just the extended shafts?

 

RCV could make you a custom length one. But that would be extremely expensive.

 

Extended shafts it is.

Can't wait to get back to start this beast.

 

I think I have some 12"s what length are you looking for ?

 

Yea but your manual trans, way different than an auto.

 

Looks good Landon, let me know what you think about the seats after you take it out and smash on it.
I have the same ones for my f1, just wondering how comfortable they really are when you're getting it.

 

I love my 5.29s and 35s w manual tranny. Torque baby!

 

i have 4.88s and 33s. i wouldnt go any different. almost i went to 5.29 but id break more diffs than i already do.

hes done alot of not so good fab work on my truck. would never ever take it back. he did offer to fix it for free. but i wasnt about to let someone that already did that hack job even pay me to touch my truck again.

the paint looks good man, and the truck is badass.

mind if i ask what you paid for paint? was it just fiberglass or the entire truck?
