Long Travel BS Thread

go big or go home.

 

Or Speak to Aaron at LSK the new race kit is legit! And its 4x4.

 

My truck is 93" wide on 37"s.... parking is like:

 

That was the most painful thing I've ever watched.

 

I feel you on that one, I'm sitting 88in so I have to park in the back of all the parking lots

 

I think I'm 88/89 now. Thank god I don't HAVE to drive it on the street. Time to build a wider trailer.

 

I know some folks have a hard time, but shit thats just crazy

 

The really fun part now since the cage is the zero visibility out the back window

 

Time for a back up camera.

 

What did that run? I am thinking about a 9" in the future but non full floater. My 2.7L and the way I use my truck probably doesn't necessitate me going to a full floater. Mucho less $$$ too.

 

Nothing to see back there anyways. Never back up lol

 

You can be in a trussed 9 " with gears and discs for under 1500. Keep an eye out and piece it together if you have to. My current set up is under a grand with a spare set of axles. Thats a currie sportsman case, 488 gears, chromoly spool, disc brakes and 2 sets of axles.

 

My iPhone won't let me view their race kit, is it 3.5 over? Travel #s?

 

This ^^

 

Pm me your number

 

Pm sent

 

clean kit

 

Kit looks great, whose truck is it on?

 

Don't forget about one of the better kits out there (solo motorsports). Yes I am a Lil biased.

 

lowest gear ratio is 4.88

i have thought hard about swapping a 2nd gen 8'' clam shell in. It won't fit without a LOT of custom work. To the point it isn't worth it and may as well do a center mount diff with a custom LT kit.

the diff is 1.5'' wider per side. Mounting location is about the same but you would have to either raise the motor or drop the diff to compensate for the taller case.

So you would have to end up with custom CV axles that would have to be custom length and spline counts because the 1st gens out splines are less by a tooth or two, can't remember then the 2nd gens. Plus you'd probably loose travel because you won't have a shorter CV axle then a real 3.5''+ kit. So..not worth it. may as well stay mid travel.

Or do a custom width kit with custom width axles and spindles and such. But fuck that. Just do a center mount while you are at it and get a bad ass real diff.
