Long Travel BS Thread

Damn I hat to say but I don't think they will stay there, its probably going to slide up

 

sleeve a piece of tubing over it

 

idk, its pretty dammm snug! like when i welded it, it got a lot tighter so the bump squeezed in there barely. had to use a rubber mallet, and i torqued the bolts down pretty snug.. I'll see how it does today and if it moves, ill prob do what he said vvv

see this is why i need tacomaworld! thanks man

 

X2 on the sleeve, ive seen too many bump stops fly out *cough cough, Anthony*

 

Ive also seen my buddy's bump stop get stuck halfway because he tightened it too tight, which was weird. When he loosened up the bolts on the can, it worked fine.

 

It also looks like you might want it up there anyways.

That bump is damn near in "play" already...you're gonna feel that bumpstop on every little bump you hit. Might consider shortening the stroke on that too.

I make my small orders on here

 

its a 2.5 inch stroke, and the angle of the pic makes it look close, but it has quite a bit of clearance before hitting the strike pad. im not worried, i think i can push it up like another .5 inch and it will still stop my shock from bottoming out.

 

I was going to say this. If its tight enough to hold in place without the sleeve it can squeeze the body of the bump and bind the piston inside. If you have the bump slid up all the way the piston will not travel down to the bottom bolt anyway though, your friend may have just needed to loosen the upper pinch bolt a little

^Best solution

after looking at this pic i went to look at my truck and i just noticed i have the same problem. Guess its back to the shop.

 

Did you cycle it ?

Robby qualifying photo, I havent seen a rear end with the driveshaft that far off center before ??

 

i think that truck may be 4x4, so the tranny is off set so the transfer case and front drive shaft can be center with the center mounted front diff. Same with pro4 trucks, i believe.

 

Interesting... and bad ass

 

I'm guessing it has something to do with a mid engine/tranny set up and geometry on the rear suspension.

 

That's normal for the IFS KOH rigs
