Long Travel BS Thread

So you just ran new lines all over?

 

On 2nd gens you will loose the speedo of you fully remove it. The signal comes from the sensors on the axle into that module which converts the signal and sends it to the speedo. What I did was cap all the lines on the module and then just ran new lines like the other guys did

 

yep

 

Got any pics of your setup? Thinking to do the same.

 

planning on starting my long travel build, gonna be gathering parts over the next year. i notice some do and some dont run front bumps. is there a reason not to? im new to all this and have found most of the info i need but not alot on bumps. im guessing when you set them up you mount them to fully bottom and leave about 1" of travel left in the shock?

 

you mean stock bumper vs tube bumper vs no bumper?

 

Bump stops

 

Some kits have a strike pad for bumps some don't, if you have an engine cage you can bump off the upper. Bypasses can also be used like a bump to slow everything down to prevent the shocks blowing out.

 

Possibly considering linking the rear of my truck insted of keeping it class 2000 legal. If i went that route anyone in here interested in a set of h70s in great conditioned recently re-arched? Im located in San Luis

 

Links ftw

Nvm: Not like I would know tho I still haven't driven my dumb truck

 

so just bought some 12" bypasses for the rear of my canti to get a few more inches of travel. went ahead and valved the new ones to what i had my 10s valved to. but i noticed an issue with one of the shocks. the shaft gets "stuck" (takes A LOT of force) every time it basses an opening to a bypass tube. theres also a little scoring on the piston wear band. anyone know what this could be? possibly bent shock body? everything looks fine

 

Figure id rather do it once and be done then to keep redoing it like iv been doing with everything else haha

 

You'll end up linking it one day anyway.

 

Exactly what im thinking might as well link it while the cage is going in vs the new SUA kit, already have a fuel cell going in too so just gona need bypasses, coils for my old smooth bodies and sway bar

 

Sway bar is nice but that can wait. I've had the same reaction from everyone with leafs who rides in my truck "well fuck now I need to link my truck"

 

Sway bars can wait usualy? Never ridden in a linked truck without one. That saves some cash then ha id probably wait till i upgrade the rear axle then to do that. Think my minds made up now lol

 

Just wait, it's not needed just go easy on the corners

 

Good shit. Links it is then!
