Long Travel BS Thread

well, unless you are looking to stay light...right? i have heard a lot of good things about the 55's... and for a budget build... (like myself) lol this is kinda what i was looking for... lol

 

Sad thing is I've actually been asked a few times what size spacers I'm running on my truck already....

 

Just be like 4" spacer lift

 

I mean wheel spacers! No one understands why it's so wide

 

same answer. 4"spacers

 

It's all from from 4wheelparts bro

 

Yeah man! -1" BS FTW

 

One of my wheels from 4wheelparts had a pinhole through it

 

Oh just a heads up if anyone needs nitrogen up here in north county coastal I got a full setup now

 

It's a ready lift bro and a 3" body lift and 3" wheel spacers that added around 6" of travel. So now I'm siting at 16 inches of travel.

 

So I've finally got my TC uniball front kit all set up, just need an engine cage and bumps, and I snagged some deaver f55's with 12" shackles, limit straps and u bolts (all new).
Can anyone recommend someone in socal who can cycle/install it for a reasonable price? I can help with any of the dirty work/install, and can travel reasonable distance (i go to school in sb, family lives in sd), and have a bike for transportation if it would take longer than a few days. I bent the shit out of the zzr shackles i have now (yes you all were right, theyre total pieces of shit), and I can't wait to finally have a legit long travel set up all around.
Any ideas for somewhere reasonable? I'd honestly prefer garage fab vs a shop just because i know the overhead with a shop is generally significantly higher.

 

I'm sure we've all been asked what kind of lift we have on our truck

 

do you need bushing sleeves on the lca mounts for lt kits?

 

You mean for inside the bushing? Yes

 

talking about the steel crush sleeve?

 

yea i just got my kit and there are sleeves in the uppers but not the lowers

 

Whose kit did you buy? Engage?

 

Replaced the power steering rack and pump today. What a difference it is to have fully functioning power steering and get rid of all that play in my steering.

I bought the rack used off of here for $175 and the pump was a free replacement through NAPA.

Took about 6 actual hours of work, but I stretched it across the day. It's a PITA, but it's well worth it.

 

Good for you man! That is no easy project.
