Long Travel BS Thread

That's odd they aren't on the LT arms, I have stops on my DK stock length arms. Maybe weld some on?

 

No link it would be something custom. I'd recommend contacting solo to see see if they'd be interested in building you something as their xlt kit utilizes d44 locking hubs

 

Well..no offense but the last guy i knew who tried East coast crawling with a LT front kit..poured so much money in then finally just SAS his rig as he should had done in the first place and was much better off.

I'd just start saving up and making plans to do that. if your set on muddly crawling with 37s.

 

Bought through All Pro. It's like $500 for a pair or something in that ballpark.

 

Talking about mark? His rig is awesome but I enjoy the ifs for now.

 

yes sir indeed i am.

Anybody cut just like an inch off the flat part on your coils to slightly drop ride height. King 18" 600lb. Trying to drop just a tad.....

 

I would be nervous to do that. It wouldnt surprise me if these coils are designed for loads at that exact dimension so if you were to modify it you could affect the "elastic" element of the spring and also cause unpredictable behavior. This is for increased ride height reasons I assume?

My height is slightly too high. Was trying to lower because my collars are fully extended.

 

I would def give the manufacturer a call. The thing is, even if you cut it, this modification could voilate the integrity causing a real challenge to get a completely smooth finish without cracking the top portion of the spring or making an uneven plane. Considering long travel can increase the loads on these by having longer arms...just a lot to gamble. Is it worth getting some different springs?

Just buy a pair of 16" coils and sell those springs.

 

Is your top collar threaded all the way up and hitting the top of the shock? Or is there threads still showing ?

 

Got em all together. Couple guys said not to cut. Collars are fully up now. I'll see how it sets now. Thx guys

 

2 die grinder cuts vs. several hundred dollars springs......it's illogical captain......hey you get out of here with your Tundra/4Runner. JK man..... : )

 

You sucks even more now.....!

Didn't know you got a 2nd gen.....really? Already built?

 

Can you guys give me a trick on installing my axle shafts into my outer cv joint.

I've tried twice, both ttimes the c - clip gets gouged pretty bad on inserting the shaft. I've tried freezing the shaft over night to make it a bit smaller for the clip, but I feel it's so miniscule..

Have you guys just lined it up and hit it in with no worries on it getting gouged? First time I did it years ago, I don't recall the clip get gouged. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

The chrmo is actually really soft if you research it. It's ment to give and twist before other damage. Atleast that's my understanding from my readings. I've got the same shafts, but sadly I destroyed my outer joint recently
