Long Travel BS Thread

having the b-pillar out back is proving to have its own challenges but its been fun. Got the A tucked in there pretty tight though

 

if it were me i would build something similar to what tc has then run a cross member over the engine to support the hoops...fairly cheap and easy fix before you can do a actual engine cage

 

this is what i was talking about anthony

thanks dirty d

 

Would a 3.0 bypass for the rear be to overkill ?

 

Thats a good idea...i wanted the tc hoop but i doubt the bolt holes will line up now lol

 

This guy says these are 2.5x8 coils but they are dual rate I thought you had to have at least a 10 for dual rate ?

You can do dual rate on 8's ...its just kinda pointless

 

Don't let your shock bottom out. 90% of that kind of damage is from poor shock set up

 

It also has to do with the shitty design of that coil adapter it has no support just a piece on 3/16 with some tabs. I was disappointed with it when we installed Jordan's LT kit.

 

How hard would it be for you to make be a beefier adapter? Because I also have the engage one an its bent. Or is it to late?

 

I am going to cut my coil bucket out when I finish my engine cage in the next week or two, I'll sell you my Camburg adapter

 

Oh thatd be nice. I'm just not sure what I want to do yet. I might do a shock hoop with the 8s and ditch the buckets but we will see.

 

Yeah I thought about plating the top and connecting to an engine cage but I think removing the coil bucket is the way to go

 

So I'm about to jump on these. They will work on my truck worth a TC kit correct I just need to change the bottom adapter sence I'm 4x4 right ???

 

yea get at least 3" rod end

 

i need hydro bumps...i have longer poly bumps but guess they compressed a shit ton...

 

No sir, they are not the short body 8".

The 2nd Gen 4wd requires a 2" extended rod end, not a 3"

 

Ya, that doesn't help either. All my kits come with a billet adapter that is about 1" thick overall.

 

correct, we used a 2" longer rod end on my gf's truck, I was thinking 3" total from top of rod end to eyelet, which is what my measurements were, i believe.

 

Similar to TC?

Mine is 1/4" plate with a more than enough support
