*RIP* Bijan's #EXPOASF Long Travel Build

Yes a few places. And just re pressurize and add oil again (99% sure, someone else has way more knowledge about that than me).

 

Testing out camera’s focus at 200’ handheld, Non-IS (no image stabilization). Pretty good since I kept the shutter speed up.

 

The OE shocks on our trucks usually run a 90* to a 90*. You have the 90 fitting coming out of the body but a straight on the hose and yes, that's a crimp hose and you'd have to replace the entire unit. You may be able to make something else work but your issue is the clearance between the UCA and the preload ring.

Example of the OE design hose routing.

This pic is a straight coming out of the body but a 90* on the hose. This may work as well but either way you'll need to fully tear down the shock and replace the hose.

 

Thanks!

 

You could have ordered your Kings with the AN fitting. I absolutely hate the pipe thread style. I have had both and I will only buy the AN ones from now one. Being able to clock the fitting in priceless.

 

I did order them with it but Kartek...

I definitely should add that when i picked them up, I had no clue what an AN fitting was. Still learning things slowly so I wish I knew beforehand. Bobby did specify it though and I checked 2 times with Kartek about it

 

Finally had the chance to actually hit some bumps.

Speed bumps that is. At ~45mph.

Holy hell is the change unreal. My front end doesn’t even budge...it’s honestly insane how smooth it is

 

Just one more day till we get this thing driving right!!!

And get rid of that bro lean...Fronts gonna come down 1.5” or so

 

Sick, get your turning radius back? last pic has me feeling like saving for a TC kit... Or Dk because they cost the same.

 

Are your hoses gonna be long enough to cut the old fittings off and recrimp?

 

Yes although I will probably do new lines

 

So i can turn left just fine, just not right bc no tie rod extension.

 

Yea the lines would be easy just didn’t know where you will the blue hose they use

 

Hell some people care if you’ve spent the money on shocks like that, glad you don’t give a shit prolly wouldn’t either on my first gen

 

I think the hydraulic store has different colors.

I’m doing hot pink if they have it

 

If I’m buying new hoses, I want hot pink ok!

 

We’re all family here, just specifically this thread watching me waste money...easy on the burns guys haha

 

Haaa

 

Should we make bets on if it fits? I’m on my way there right now haha

 

Looks like a short bed camper.
