Long Travel BS Thread

No bras in here

If you just want more flex, 63's seem to be one popular option - if you want to go fast and flex check out some of the build threads on here like this one:

That’s what I’m starting to understand. 63s seem to be more of a rock crawling option. So many threads out there and so little time. I’ll give that one a read though!

 

@jberry813 has a build that might be more along the lines of what you're looking for as well.

Thanks I appreciate it! Sometimes it’s easy to search. Other times it’s easier to get pointed in the right direction because there’s too many years of info!

 

Sometimes I feel like a librarian

I'm sure some other bros will chime in, too

 

I forgot about this. Your in the cab yes?
How is the noise?
Does it rob you air conditioning? Lol

 

That's not in the cab. Just in the front cowl where the wiper motors and AC fresh air intake are. I'd imagine that he can hear it pretty good because that spot is right in front of the AC intake. There's a thread somewhere on the forum where someone did something similar, and they reported that when they got into higher revs they felt a decrease in the amount of air coming out of the AC vents. They added in a divider to separate the AC intake from the engine intake, and they said it fixed the issue.

 

Here is the thread with more information and pictures:

I have not noticed a difference at all in sound while in cab, if I had I would have added some sort of divider, but found it not needed. No change in A/C either.

Someone that did the mod recently also added to extra holes in the sides of cowl for extra air flow.

 

What do you guys recommend for safety flags? Ive read that the requirement is a 10 ft distance from the top of the flag to the ground. What are you guys using?

 

For the dunes? Any dirt bike shop carries them, or they have hundreds at the vendors at the dunes for a little more money. They all come with a bolt at the bottom that attaches in a hole, if you do not have any where to attach with bolt then some people just jam it in the tail gate. CB style mount would work too

 

We sell these at Cali Raised LED. $25 to your door and made specific for your bed.

Hey so I know This was talked about before, But i was thinking of going with solid mounted lowers Vs the Tc cam gussets which would be better for a DD I tend to go out of alignment a lot almost everytime I take it out, I also have Hiem uppers so Solid mounts would work.

 

Awesome! This is what I needed to see. Thanks!

 

I DD my truck with solid mounted lowers and hiem uppers. Definitely recommended.

 

I still have the cams and knock it out every time I'm off-road. I have paint pen marks to get it back to alignment before driving home. I would rather knock the alignment out then have something else give and rip off the truck. I too have heim uppers.

 

I barley noticed but I ran a 3" tube. seems like the guys that did 4" said they hear it a lot. as for the air competing against each other seemed the same before and after.

 

Ok thanks That makes the gussets sound better then having something else rip off.

 

I run a 4" and the noise increase is minimal. I only notice it when I'm accelerating hard with no music on, but I only ride with no music on to listen to the noise it makes cuz it sounds cool lol. It's barely louder than my MT/Rs tho

Edit: I also feel like throttle response has improved, and with that my auto tranny with stock gears on 35s doesn't drop to 3rd or 2nd any time I need to accelerate. it seems to be able to more accurately place itself...if that makes sense.

 

winning!
i love the sound as well.
edit....
