Long Travel BS Thread

3.5" over, 13" of travel.

 

David's truck is way too clean! That is all...

 

So you've got 9/16 misalignment and 1/2" bolt? I'd suggest getting 1/2" misalignment

This my front hanger


I'm planing on tying Tony's into his cab cage

 

can i just get those from sdhq? im sure i can....

also thank you very much for the picture! im going to kind of copy you if that is okay.

on the first gens are you guys removing the gas tank to fully weld the inside?

 

Yes SDHQ will have those.


Copy away buddy just try to make it even better lol

 

My stock one has been solid but Adam is going to build his and mine a tc knock off instead of paying almost a grand for the tc solid mount kit

 

awesome thanks,
oh ill try, but it wont be better than yours lol.
i have 0 fab experience.
well a little as i just built a little back bumper haha

 

Ya, we have all the mis-alignments and spacers/reducers needed for pretty much anything.

 

ok thanks, dang wish you guys didnt close at 530.... maybe ill try and get there tomorrow before closing.

how much are misallignments for 2 shocks? so 4 sets.
also---

something else-
the fab guy that did my rear LT, i already had a bed cage and he only needed to do 1 cross hoop for my front shock mounts, easily done in 1 piece.
he did it in 2 pieces, and welded the center and ground it down (i can pretty much see the seam)
i asked him to re do it cause he has to re do the tabs anyways, and he said it is sleeved so it is strong enough, well i call BS, i really dont think it is sleeved as this guy is lazy as hell.
is there any way for me to tell if its sleeved without drilling a hole?
and if it was sleeved wouldnt there be holes drilled to fill in with weld??? am i missing something here?

 

Anybody seen this yet? Long travel kit using maxtrac spindles? Reading through the other posts/comments and it looks like they're trying to get 20" out of it

 

The Fox reducers are $6.50 ea. (so x8) Fox is proud of them

And if he did it right, he should of had some rosette welds you could see. It should be strong enough if indeed he did sleeve it. But ya, only way to tell is drill, or maybe by sound. if it sounds a bit more dense in that little section than on the two sides of it.

 

A lot of work for still a cast bulky Spindle. But if they are trying to work with what they have, more power to em.

 

holey moley, do you guys only carry fox?
yes there is no welds that i can see.. even without that you still think it will be plenty strong?
i will try and see if i can tell it is by sound.
he said it has a foot and a half if 1 1/2 .120 wall inside...

 

any guys out there running a 10" coilover up front? seems like everyone does hoops is there anyone out there who makes shock towers they look cleaner imo

 

if you need 10s, but out the bucket and make something stronger.
if you dont need something stronger than you should stick with 8s

 

Any pictures of said cross brace?

 

just wondering cause i have a 4.5 over kit with no lower shock mounts yet so ive been toying with the idea of doing something more custom but i guess shock hoops are the way to go

 

yes, i will post some later

id do a engine cage personally, you would wish you did it later.


and fuck yeah! merica! woo!
i am picking up my completed CV axles right now!
ahh man i am so relieved and excited

 

So what was the solution to your axle issue? Also curious as to who is doing your fab work.

 

i will post up a detailed wright up to that once i install them and make sure they work. i hope it will help others in the future.

and, just so you know, this is the only thing they have done on my truck (rear lt install) and i will never take it back to them, or recommend them to anyone. everything about his work screams LAZY.

wait till you see the pictures i post of his work
