Long Travel BS Thread

your selling one? Hell yeah take that money and run.

 

hell yea im stoked!!

 

I've got a set on my MT build, and love them.

I did a set if TC gussets, then got alignment done. Then measured the location of the cams and cut a set.of plates to put the bolts in the same locations. It's a bit of work to cut the plates and drill the holes, but otherwise a very easy install.

 

Has anyone tried welding th eccentrics with regular uppers? As long as alignment was good before welding it should work. I've only adjusted my heims once...

 

Ok it is more than a few hours lol. I would say it took me about 3 hours to do. The air chisel did most of the labor though lol. Welding them together does take up most of the time.

Problem is IF you are a spirited driver and anything else gets tweaked, you'll have no way to adjust it back into spec

 

True. If anything but toe goes.out you're SOL.

I dunno how hard you have to work for that level of "tweaked" though.

 

My coil buckets and frame were so bent I had a permanent -4 camber lol

 

Not fucked fucked. You'd just need heim uppers then.

 

That was a conversation Jberry and I were having. I didn't do the heimed uppers or even put the TC gussets. I used the Moog camber caster bolts and havent had allignment issues. My pivots were pretty bent so I figured I would solid mount when I rebuilt them. It has yet to be a problem so I haven't worried about it.

 

Took me not even two hours..

 

There's no general info thread on Switch-Pros that I could find that isn't in the 3rd gen or 2nd gen sections. But I just want to let you guys know what a stand up company they are. I just installed my 8100 unit that I bought through the guys at Camburg awhile ago, but just now installed it. I've been having issues trying to program it and sync to the iPhone app. After a few emails back and forth with Switch-Pros customer service, and trying some different trouble shooting methods I got a phone call from them today. They offered a full replacement/upgrade to their 9100 unit, shipped direct to me. I'm pretty blown away.

 

Ok so I have a 2012 dclb 4x4 I want opinions on a good long travel kit that isn’t over the top expensive. Or better yet just give opinions on any kit cheap or expensive.

 

If I was going to go out of the box for the front - straight bolt on, no fuss no muss 4x4 2nd gen I'd go Total Chaos race kit. Then there's always the regular Total Chaos kit, Camburg, Solo, Dirt King...

There are no cheap kits - only expensive, more expensive, and f*cking expensive, even if you buy used

To really answer your question about the cheap(est) kit, catch Solo on a 20% off event they have occasionally (Black Friday and Christmas recently).

For the rear there's DMZ, Giant, Total Chaos, and Camburg; the first two are real long travel spring under kits. The second two are spring under, but don't perform as well...

 

Thanks for the input I have looked at the Camburg setup with all the goodies I would want and they are proud of their shit all together 7g before tax and shipping... but I will keep looking.
