Long Travel BS Thread

None of that is a factor on leaf springs. Make sure the leafs don't go into negative arch more than an inch or two and call it a day. Your way over complicating it.

And u bolt torque is dependent on what size the u bolts are. A 9/16 is around 120ft/lbs and 5/8 is around 150ft/lbs and yes, it is important to use a torque wrench. They stretch and it takes a long time to actually reach the torque spec

 

i was going to say, isnt anti-squat deal with links and what not?

but im also happy to see you said around 150ft/lbs with the u-bolts. i didnt really have a clue and set them at 120ft/lbs with the 5/8 size.

 

What are you talking about, how can you not set up leafs without understanding anti-squat, anti-dve, roll center, instant center, ect.......


LOL, I swear everyone on this damn site is an engineer behind that key board.

Don't you have some kits to weld up?

 

They missed 6 pieces, just picked them up yesterday so I can assemble the last 6 arms.

 

I kind of figured I wouldn't have to worry about it too much with a leaf setup but I know it is there. I would like some anti-squat, just not sure how much. haha

 

I'll tell you what, driving a 4 door 4.0 LT truck is bad ass. Freaking blast on the street.

Race truck parts make race truck noises. Damn bypass tubes clicking.
