Long Travel BS Thread

That’s the exact fitting / adapter for the engine side. You’ll need a washer to seal it. You’d only need a female if you’re trying to use any stock parts on the fuel delivery side (potentially depending on the year of your truck. Mine has a hardline male out of the fuel pump assembly) but it sounds like you’re not.

 

I understand now. Plan was to replace the original fuel lines with new lines to the fuel cell. And I don’t have any of the emissions stuff so I’m not worried about the return etc. thanks.

 

Yes, that should be the only adapter you’ll need.

 

Here’s where I am on my dual triangles. Should be cycling things soon, but first impressions the heims will not be the limiting factors and links will clear the frame. Starting to come together a bit.

 

do not tie into that oe cross member in any way it is weak AF and it will literally tear…ask me how I know. get rid of it and box your frame to have something solid to tie into.

 

I saw the pic and was like “he should tie into that crossmember because that’s a large unsupported span of tube” but kept my mouth shut. Glad I did

 

It’s getting triangulated to the frame up front and the lower link brackets. It’s definitely not strong enough on it’s own.

 

I may plate the crossmember and tie into it, but mostly to strengthen the cb crossmember not the other way around.

 

The links shouldn't be load bearing. They are primarily a pivot point. Or am not fully understanding the load forces that we're looking at?

 

More forces in the horizontal plane from torque at the axle and hitting bumps (trying to pull the lower links back and push the uppers forward). The biggest stress in the vertical would be smashing rocks. That’s how I understand it at least. Might learn otherwise.

 

Whose coming with me to stand up against sas tacos tomorrow?

Details? I’ll be on the lakebed tomorrow but don’t need to be there until the late afternoon. Might leave mid-day.

 

Eh I’ll have my 6 year old niece climb up things even the most built sas truck can’t make it up.

 

He’s gonna hit me up when he gets there. I wasn’t planning on getting there until early afternoon, but I might set my alarm a little earlier now

 

Keep me posted. I'll bring

 

What’s your IG again?

 

It is the same as his handle hear (desertjunkie760)

 

There is a whole lot of load going through the links. Using front factory leaf spring mounts (like I've seen somebody do very recently) will tear clean out of the mount and off the frame.

Here is the estimated loads from my truck: Upper link 14K pounds and lower 19K pounds.

 

see my last reply above. You'll want to double check your load forces and take a look at how you tie in the link mounts to make sure they will hold. Here are some pictures of the 3 link I’m wrapping up this week:

 

Will you share with me?! This is gonna be too funny.

Also @snowsk8air2 is this the year I get to watch you try back door?
