    It's one more loop but it's also 2" longer in length.
    Same rate.


    No I don't.

    Let me put it differently. With my 16" coils and preload set to the ride height I wanted, I mic'd all the gaps in the springs and added them together and it was just less than 8" (shock shaft stroke).
    With my 18" springs, doing the same exercise I have more than 8" of spring gap at the exact same ride height.

    Measure your spring gaps first.
    Also as you know, I have a TC kit. Lower shock mounts are slightly different. Easy to draw a line with a laser level tho to see if it will work.

    :notsure:


    Thanks


    Cool, stop by for sure.


    In other news...did a little prep work on the truck including shortening my bumps. Huge pain in the ass. Took a 12" pipe wrench, 3 foot cheater bar, and a blowtorch to take them apart. Less than 2 year old Fox bumps. Their coating simply sucks by comparison. Wire wheeled the hell out of them and bathed them in anti-seize before putting it all back together.

    Ehhh, still better than SAW. Bumps are harder to take care of (regardless of manufacture) because they are sleeved inside a can. I coated them with fluid film when I installed them, but still metal on metal contact with my winters and not a dry desert.

    Shortening them just shortens the stroke. Same amount of uptravel, but they don't touch the strike pads as soon.

    Since I added the extra leaf in the pack last year I've been fighting the rear shock tuning. It's still bucking more than I want, even after multiple bypass revalves and at only 70 psi in the bumps. So shortening them and increasing the nitrogen pressure and see what happens.

    Shrug. I'm just an internet expert and installed them like I saw everyone else did. I'm sure there is, but Fox coating still leaves a bit to be desired. The bodies are steel.

    LOL. No apologies necessary. The cans come bare metal. I painted them best I could but the tolerances are pretty tight. I'm sure if it was powder coated, it would be a bitch to get the bumps in the cans. The alternative would be a double pinch can which would allow the can to be spread more. Unfortunately the double pinch cans wouldn't work for my particular application. The lower pinch bolt would contact the tire at flex.
    Gives and takes.
    They still work great and nobody knows they look like shit when installed. I'm hoping the anti-seize bath on the bodies will work better and last longer. Maybe I'll check them more than once every other year too :anonymous:


    Oh and...got uptravel? Tires are still on the ground too. :D

    Hauled my pile down to Superstition last weekend. Gotta say, I've never been happier with how it performed. The latest work with the bump stops and revalve on the rear made all the difference in the world.

    I didn't get many pictures. Too busy driving. But here's a few as well as some video's I stole or got from IG.

    And Sunday sunrise. Early morning poo allowed me to see this one.

    Also quite the treat. The Blue Angels were flying practice runs literally all day on Saturday right above us. Pretty cool little bonus.

    Oh and VERY minor carnage report for me.

    Pulling into camp I got a flat in the trailer because someone decided to leave a pile of nails and broken bottles below the sand.
    Driver's side dome light switch is stuck again...happens every time I wheel it hard. Just need to get the ford tool on it.
    Pinhole vacuum leak on the boost gauge elbow.
    Driver's window hopped the track again...also happens almost every time I wheel it hard with windows down.
    And I'm fairly certain my clutch is on it's last leg. Not bad for a stock clutch, boosted engine and me driving the everloving shit out of it. Gonna bleed the fluid out with fresh fluid and see how it does, but I foresee a clutch in the near future.
