Long Travel BS Thread

im gonna have to go with a clapped out leaf.. mine had the same exact lean and if you notice, you probably like to slide the truck on the passenger side causing those leafs to wear a lot quick than the driver side.

 

Unless you cut the cups out and weld in new sleeves, they're uniball only.

 

/: they are shot and all the mis alignments are stuck

 

try two vice grips, put a piece of leather between the clamp and the misalingment as not to scar it, also spray it with wd-40 or something

i bet one will come out then you can press/hammer the other

 

Call up everybody's favorite guy Carlos! Be generous with anti seize on the new parts too

Scaring them won't matter on the part you grip with the pliers. The bearing doesn't rotate like one on the outsides of a control arm, so marring from pliers won't damage the bearing.

 

Air chisel does wonders for those .

all head tubes in

 

So the canti is deffinelty coming off and I'm going with a traditional set up. I bought a t100 axle and am going to do a bedcage and shocks outside the frame. In an attempt to fight axle wrap and axle hop, where is the best location for the shock mounts. Front? Back? How far front or back? And also pinion angle. What's the measurement on that again. 2* down or up?

 

Id say forward shock mounts. Have them angled a bit to allow the Hydros with the lower mounts on the front.

As for how far..that is custom to the shock and where the top mount is really.

 

So for those that have boxed their frame.......what thickness of material did you guys use?

 

I think mine was 1/8 inch

 

I used 1/4" but it's what I had laying around.

 

Sweet. Thanks guys.

 

Something like this ? Cnc cut, 120$ shipped. Fits dcsb, and ecsb. From end of frame, to gas tank cross member.

 

1/4 is MASSIVE for boxing. 1/8 is standard since it's the same thickness as your frame.

 

Nvm.

:headache:

 

You can get a lot done when the money's there

 

- front of axle

- I like the lower mount around 3" forward of the axle

- pinion angle 2 degrees down

 

So pinnion 2* down as in the pinnion pointing 2* down towards the ground? Sorry just triple checking

 

Oh and also. On my curennt set up the pinion is 5* up from level. Would this add to my severe axle hop?
