Long Travel BS Thread

This weekend ocotillo

 

Ya, That's Raptor Dave! Dude is a mad man behind the wheel. Beat's the piss out of that truck.

The Canti setup is only an in house install. Not an off the shelf product. We have done them on a few trucks.

 

ok so im revalving my rear shocks this weekend, my fronts are too soft as well, i bottom out pretty easily for the way i drive. would i need to re valve or adjust my spring weight?
im running 500 over 600, the 500 is completely bottomed out at ride height. i feel like i need a 650 lower. i know coils are only for ride height, but i feel like i have quite a bit of preload.

4 banger, 4X4. fully caged, engine cage, any input?

 

10" shock? And what length are the coils currently? Like a 600 x 18" and 500x 4"

If so, the upper one will almost always be compressed. Most of it will be in your valving. If you bound and killed a lower coil, It could be making it worse though.

 

thats exactly what im running.
ok cool, valving it is. i didnt coil bind or anything and they are still fairly new coils. thanks!

 

Idk if any of you would be interested in some sliders, just took them off my truck. Not sure what brand they are. They came on my truck when I bought it. Asking 150obo? Located in Yucaipa

 

I see some people running 35s, what did you guys do to the firewall and inner wheel wells to clear? Did you limit up travel? I'm running a Camburg 4wd kit.
Also pic request for 6" Glassworks fenders please.

 

I only had to trim the glass a little and beat the pinch weld

 

Wheels with a deep dish help, as well as a BFH. The trick is to pull your coilovers out and set the truck down at full stuff. Trim anything the tires touch.

dope yet again

 

Its gonna rub real nice! Flatten the pinch weld, chop the cab mount, trim the bottom glass, and go jump it. Repeat step 4 until you don't hear rubbing anymore

 

Turned out pretty cool.

 

@4:33 holy shit! awesome!

DO IT!

 

Haha thanks guys! I already cycled it and do need to flatten the pinch weld and chop the cab mount. Also it wouldn't bottom out on the shock or bump stop but rather instead on the top of the inner fenders. I noticed my buddy's TC kit has a spacer on the bump stop to limit up travel so I was thinking on doing that so I'm not bottoming out on the inner fender as hard as without a spacer. Any input? Don't wanna cut everything off like DTFTacoma lol

 

You will have to set the bumps up to limit up travel if you are hitting the inner fenders and don't want to remove them. You could do a spacer like your buddy, or do it right and get hydraulic bumps.

 

pretty much what he said VVVV im using spacers under my stock bump location so it doesnt totally destroy my inner fender well when it bottoms out. Like he said though do it right right way with air bumps while you have it all apart.
