camburg long travel install questions!!

the 10 inch would require shock hoops they might be a little short to run off the cage? 12 inch would be plenty long to do off the cage

 

im ahead of my self on every project i do

and i know its not a need, but it will make the ride better, and it will dissipate the heat better cause its a longer shock.

lol do you not put it in your details your 18 for a reason? lol

exactly, and i just said 12 cause ballers run 12s. but i really want the dual rate and you only need a 10 to do that, ill probably go that route, its just jumbling around in my mind right now.

my engine cage is going to be done after new years so ill be running it off my engine cage, i am pretty sure i can run 12s off of it pretty easily.

 

No just never really noticed it didn't say it lol

 

oh haha. well i ordered my rack bushings during lunch. i need to go play more poker. spent all the poker money on flowers and rack bushings. BS

 

this may have caused a couple cracks

 

That'd do it, crack hunting is one of those S.O.B things you have to do when you mob super hard.

 

Okay so that hollow piece in the lower is not coming out. Got the rack off and new uniballs pushed in. But this fuckinh hollow thing won't. Tried a bfh, big fucking air hammer, pb blaster, and a torch. Help??

 

hollow thing?? pics

 

Hollow piece in the lower

 

Inner sleeve?

 

There's pics of it on the previous page, the bolt came out hollow sleeve and the sleeve is froze in there. We took a sawzall to it, but now I'm at harbor freight waiting in line for more sawzall blades

 

thought that might be funny..

of theres no other tranny mount bolts in there either..

 

heres a picture of the crack that you couldnt see.. inside the coil bucket on the top, where its clean is where the crack is, right on the 90 degree angle

i can see completely through the crack BTW, pic makes it look small but everywhere its clean theres a crack that whole length

and decided to take a sawzall to the lowers to get them off. after a couple hours with a BFH and a air hammer you get tired of that shit. i need to go get even MORE blades.

i think im gonna need to cut one off the other side too.

joy of working on a truck with 170k miles

 

the cracks in your coil bucket are from the suspension not being strapped. those 3 bolts act as the limit strap when the suspension fully droops when you air the truck out

 

that makes sence. i should be getting straps by the end of this week!

 

And hopefully UCA gussets too I picked up some steel yesterday and if it stops raining today I'll mock them up

 

That crack will probably be okay if you just drill/weld over it (and grind it smooth) try and close the gap making the plates touch before you weld it so everything lines up, and you'll have the pinch plates on there for extra support. As well as Matt pointed out, with Limit straps on there they'll take the load from full droop instead of it being on the C/O fulling extending.

 

See what I mean Prep is very crucial for wheelin' not matter what you do, I've seen guys get to the trail and not have there 4wd working and all sorts of shit. One more trip for you and well you probably would've had a floating tranny.

 

woot!

okay, i might not be working on the truck today, got to go to this dance thing with my mom for her friends daughter. maybe ill get some sleep tonight haha.

yeah man for sure, i hate doing it.. but it needs to be done
