Long Travel BS Thread

I'm just not huge on the way it looks. I love the way the fenders are cut on jberry's Tacoma

 

You would have to cut a lot, check the SAS threads there are a lot of those guys that cut the stock fenders

 

I think the only people that like how it looks are the guys with only lift spindles and 2" wheel spacers. Jberry is running a +2 kit which basically has the same bump travel unless your tire clears the inner fender. so you can trim your fenders the same as his your wheels will just stick out about 3" past the fender

 

Thanks guys

 

Thanks for the advice. I'll be calling back next week to get concrete answers. The guy that does the scheduling is out until then.

 

Headed to Tucson first thing in the morning.

 

With that trailer loaded as heavy as it is then yeah lol But with out a load or the second set of tires I think its right...

 

Maybe you can get a company to make you some really tall airbags - I'm sure there's a niche market for people that tow with links

 

Stick with what you have for now, and down the road when you find a deal on some double or triple bypasses, swap them in. Done.

 

Are you against going used for the shocks? Could get used bypasses for $1000, thats how much I paid for mine and they're in great shape. They were freshly rebuilt and valved for a ranger, I had them revalved and good to go.

 

Yeah theres a guy on sd craigslist selling new 2.5x18 or 3.0x16 bypasses, check some of the instagram pages like sell offroad or whatever too, I see them on there sometimes, and of courser race-dezert

 

Get used bypasses if you can, best way to save money, and I can rebuilt them if you need

 

It's nice to be able to adjust...so yes I would rather have used bypass rather than new smooth body

 

It's as simple as this;

Smoothies- Valve once, hope you're close, revalve everytime it's not close

Bypasses- Valve once, adjust bypass tubes to get closer or spot on, maybe have to revalve once more to get valving perfect.

 

Anyone here know who's truck this is?
Saw it on the total chaos website for 3.5+ LT, just hoping to see a build thread

 

Just google rebeltaco. There at least a bazillion pics of it. The original owner goes by @The Traveler on these forums

 

thats what im hoping for once i swap my axle

 

A Lot more then just being able to adjust externally. Main benefit is being able to adjust the different zones on the shock. That being said, if bypasses aren't in your budget, proper tuning on smoothbodies can make them work pretty good

 

I was trying to keep it simple lol
