Long Travel BS Thread

Well I wasnt planning on it but just got a deal on some brand new swayaway 8 inch coilovers, the fox on my truck are pretty dirty and need a rebuild/revalve pretty bad. Im trying to decide if im going to run the swayaways for good or just temporarily.

Either way anyone know who to ask for some valving advice? I want to run a flutter stack for little bumps/washboard roads too. Looking for something more than the standard 10/12 recommendation to try out and go from there with the tuning

 

Personally I'd start with 15/10 or 15/12 with flutter if you want. Or you can replace the largest diameter 15 on comp with a 10 to soften it up a bit. Also have at least 2 bleed screws in on the piston

 

Thanks im positive anything will be better than what I have now, I'll probably try 15/12 with a flutter stack just need to do some research on the flutter stack and where to place it.

 

Thanks for the find, but I don't care for fox shocks, don't mean that in a dickish way

 

Thanks buddy so they basically mount forward of the axle?

 

I'll keep it short, i need advice. 2.7 had a lot of blowback yesterday when i got home. now i think the engine is seized. I took off part of my exhaust to believe to see oil. So can it be oil and if it's not turing over is it seized?

Edit. So I put the tranny in N and tried turning the crank. Nothing not even an inch. So I guess its 3.4L shopping and LT build on hold until it's up and running. Now Im going to have to do some homework on a swap.

 

I agree with tcyota. Do the 15/12 2 bleeds closed and a smallest diameter 8 between the biggest and second biggest shim.

 

Ok Ill try that, I wish I would have the shims right now to work on the truck over the weekend. I dont have much experience with revalving so just to clarify. On the 15 stack I would grab one of the small diameter 8s and instead of placing it at the end of the stack put it between the biggest and second biggest shim? Should I do that for the 12 stack also?

 

Real men run one bleed open : P haha

 

I was gonna make a Meet the Fockers reference, but saying "can you dual rate me" sounds... sexual

 

Anyone looking for saw 2.5x8 triple bypasses ?

Cross posting this for greater exposure:

I am attempting to press out the hub from my front wheel bearing. I have a HF 20 ton press. I am at a loss for how to get this done without a custom jig. There's no way to support the bearing (very thin lip / areas to support by) while keeping the whole assembly high enough for the hub to have room to be pressed out.

Any tips, before I return the bearing and order a fully assembly from Bama here on the forums?

 

Yes, and no you don't need to flutter the 12 stack(rebound)

 

Thank You! Appreciate the help

 

When I had a single c/o up front I ran a double stack 20 on comp and .008 on rebound, but I like to sky wheelie!

 

I did this for four sets of hubs on my old 2nd Gen. Our shop press had multiple steel plates that I stacked together to make a jig. I may have had the plates shoot out once or twice when they weren't lined up right and fly across the shop. Looking back, I ruined one bearing due to operator error (Me) and it would have been cheaper in the long run to just take the loose parts to a machine shop for the press work.

 

Anyone looking for:

F67 w/ extended shackles
32 gallon Jaz fuel cell
2.5x16 king double bypasses
ESB front kit, modified stock spindle and heim steering
Leaky tundra axle with arp studs, limited slip diff, unknown gears

Gonna be available starting mid-end October or the following few months. Pics and condition upon request
