Long Travel BS Thread

Hell yeah!!!!! but the only deal is you have to go on a ride with me

 

Ill just hold on to your bedcage!

 

dont have to tell me twice

 

Damm u!! haha

SCORE! ya i live in az so this will be the only time ill have a chance to! hope to get rides in alot of Bad ass trucks! soo stoked!!

im sure he wont mind that deal

 

Damn Bryan that looks good! I wanna come by and check it out when my truck is done and I'll come testing too

 

That kit looks sick Bryan. Can't wait to see it in action

 

Hate to be a stick in the mud here but did you decide to go with J-arm because you didn't want to redo the engine cage and go with a whole new lca + spindle setup?

Bump mounted off lower @ this point.. =/

 

its starting to sound alot like DR around here lets see some pics of your super model girl friends

 

Same lower control arms but new custom spindles and added bypasses.
Its really hard to explain with out seeing it in person. But Making J-arms saved a Ton of fab time!! I would have had to change my steering and a lot of other stuff that was already fabbed with my current set-up
Plus I raced in a J-arm for years with my good friend Nick and J-arms are fine. Its all preference. As far as bumpstops, I am moving them to the top to hit the spindle eventually.
Im not too worried about it. They were in that location for years and it was fine.

 

And thats exactly where I saw the phase Next time I'll add the ™


"Take your Flintstones Vitamins" ™

Should I use Proper MLA formatting for the source also?

 

haha.. I know. I was reading all the pages from earlier today and I was thinking the same thing.

 

Damn clean fab man that new setup looks great! Love the new j arm

so... how's that one piece coming along?

 

Its taking up space like it usually does in the garage. Kinda dusty with a few cob webs on it. I'm pretty random when I feel like putting money into the truck. Been spending on other hobbies and things for the house. Clutch is priority though. That thing is starting to get bad. To mount that clip I need to cut the bumper off and do that sub frame thing and new bumper. Also need a grille. The truck is what it is at this point. A tank of gas last like 2.5 weeks. So you can see how much I drive.

 

ok guys so i got so 2.0x10 short body 7100s for the rear of my truck and i was thinking the more angle on the shock the more valving its gonna need right?

 

Thanks man, Im happy with how its coming out

Landon and Alex you guys should come with us to the Glamis trip in October that we have planned. It would be cool if you can make it out! Should be a good time

 

Those shocks are rather small and should fit almost vertically no problem.

 

well remember mines a 5 lug and sua. i think they have much more bump travel than 6 lugs stock right? what valving do yours have?
