Long Travel BS Thread

Couple questions........?

I can't exactly identify my axle to order a 3rd, bearings and seals. It is some sort of t-100 or tundra. Don't know if it has abs?

14mm bolts.....

Also more bedspace and the gas tank is less of an issue if you lean the shocks back a bit.

 

Nothing there......^^^^^^^......

I picked the axle up off Craigslist.

 

I would lean towards T100. But it you check the large ring gear it would have stamped year and gear ratio and you can get a better idea of what it came from. That is if it still has stock gears. For ex. if it has 94-98 number then gear ratio then its probably t100 my guess

Hes running the 64" Giant Kit

 

Where's the best place to buy rebuild kits for Fox shocks?

and...

these shocks have been blown for quite some time. Should I expect to find additional damage in there or will new seals, new fluid, and a recharge be reasonably expected to do it?

 

Hard to say until you open them.

DSM i think is the best place. @Downsouth Motorsports

 

I don't like throwing money away, but taking the shocks off, getting the coils off, tearing the shocks down, only to find out that I need more parts is a situation I want to avoid. I've never done it before so I don't really know what there is to "burn out" from running a blown shock for an extended period of time.

Maybe a set of those Fox DSC's is the ticket.

 

Well, on my kings that where leaking oil, turns out the snap ring had gotten fucked up. Did some damage to the seal housing or whatever. Sorry, not the piston.

They still work fine.

But honestly there isn't a lot that can really go wrong..I'll bet they are probably fine.

 

I think rebuild kits and you will be fine

 

If it's been a while plan on all seals and fluid. Shims should probably be ok.

 

Only other things too look at are your shafts and the heims.

 

My truck rejects any shims smaller then .020 on compression



That was from one trip

 

HA! that bites..

 

The fluid looked like mercury, I had to replace everything

 

Hey where's a good place to move the battery outside of the engine compartment? Asking cause I got a bunch of stuff to relocate it somewhere. Under the bed where the stock spare was? Going to be boxing the frame and building a couple crossmembers, tie it into that? Any ideas?

 

Under the bed toward the cab. Should be a sealed battery aswell. That way you can mount it on its side.

 

yup its a sealed battery, that's what im thinkin too

 

anybody have pics of a 3.5" camburg or whatever kit with the solo spindles?
