Long Travel BS Thread

A kid on the next street over from me has this thing:




I thought you guys would enjoy seeing it. From reading everything you guys talk about here, I can appreciate the work he has put into it. I don't really know him, so you can poke all the fun you want, haha.

 

whats with his exhaust pipe? lol

 

^beast

 

whys the bumper sticking out so much from the sides

 

from what i read in his build thread hes going to the fiberwerx 6.5" fenders from the glassworks which is only 4"

 

looking good man. looks like you guys are fully boxing the frame...

 

Haha close guess. I dont like the fiberwerx but glassworks has new 6.5 inch flare fenders

 

hey would anyone happen to have a set of top mounts for a first gen that would fit king shocks?


i just got done installing everything and im kinda thinkin the mounting brackets the truck shop gave me arent going to allow the UCA much clearance from the reservoir hose.... and theres no way to swivel or move the mount to allow for a different way for the hose to go

 

^if you look at socalrunners build thread, he mounted the resi on top of the uca, seems pretty cool to me

 

hey guys is this a good deal? i need some guidance..they need a rebuild, and im still a LT noob but on the giant rear SUA kit they are running 2.5x16s these are 2.5x12s, 12 and 16 are the lengths of the shock right? what would you guys suggest getting?

12" is the stroke of the shock... the difference between the compressed and extended lengths...

that's a pretty good deal for those shocks, but you can't use them, so there's no point to get them

 

this thing is monster!

they are too short i was looking at them too. you need at least a 14 i think. im going with 16.

 

at what angle should the shock be mounted at for the best results?

 

I have 16's leaned forwars at 20*. Had them at 25* before and didnt really gain much travel. 15-20* should be perfect though.
my 16's are capable of around 19" at that angle, but I can probably get more, but idk what I strapped it at. setup is also custom.

 

so you think 18* should be good then?

 

Heres some long travel BS to chew on.
