Long Travel BS Thread

It's either 1.5" or 1.25" I cant remember which was final. Curt leduc is debuting them on his new geiser truck at Parker this weekend

 

Wow leduc is running them? That's the ultimate test! I'm strongly considering running them on my new project. This won't be cheap for me ha

 

He has been running them on his short course for awhile. Got tired of trying to work with king. Let me know when your ready, I'll get you taken care of.

 

Have a question...not LT related but figured you guys would know... would running a "lug" centric wheel spacer over a "hub centric" cause a weird sound out of the front end? i know it can cause vibes but was wondering if it also made a sound.... the dealer told me it was my wheel bearings...but that turned out to not be the culprit. They are the Synergy 1.5" spacers.... just trying to save some timeand money before i go out and buy some Ballistic Fab 1.25's that i have on the rear.

 

I ran lug centic and it was fine.


How do i rotate the 90° fitting on kings?!

 

Thanks for the plugs guys,
Yeah I don't like doing side work, just my own stuff.
Don't PM me please (truth, not some reverse marketing BS)

BTF, I've never heard anything bad on the forums, ever, and that's saying a lot because y'all know how forums are. Work always looks rad and they get it done.
Dirt Design stuff looks rad.

I told you the other day bro

 

Mines not like yours though.

 

Are they the pipe thread 90s? If so you just have to crank on them

 

Correct, but always tighten them more to "clock" them.

If you loosen to position them you can get a leak. If it gets too tight like your gonna strip it, remove the fitting and start over, I know...alot more work, recharge, etc...

 

id be careful cranking down on them if they are already super tight.

 

is there enough room to put a thin jam nut on the threads??

 

can you find the right sized washer/spacer to clock them? kinda like how to index spark plug electrodes?

 

thanks guys i was able to tighten them a little more...one side done another to go!

 

Thought that thing went on a rail to Australia about 6 months ago?

That's true you don't hear about it on forums, but people talk. The one thing that they've all said is that if he fucks something up that he is always willing to fix the problem at his cost not the customers like most shops do.

 

must be thinking of a different truck... i haven't seen mike for a while, but the ad says ventura/oxnard

 

Pretty sure you cant put a jamnut on tapered threads, hence why you can only position the 90 one way(until you've achieved the right position and tightness). You could possibly crank on them a little bit clockwise to get a better angle, but if you loosen them you run the risk of losing pressure

 

Good deal for anyone in the market
