Long Travel BS Thread

buy my truck 4x4, LT, S/C with all the URD Upgrades

 

Is it a manual? I really need the bed

 

heavy duty ultra clear.

 

Yeah its a 5 speed. I had some bed but not a lot

 

Can you fit a dirtscooter in it ?

 

What is everyone's opinions on traction bars? My truck has pretty bad axle wrap and lifts up about 8 or more inches on acceleration as I would like to end that.

 

this^^^ this is what i need

 

Buy a rack and just use the reciever to carry the bike

 

too bad you didn't buy Eddie's (Special K) truck. It didn't have a ton of bed space but it was a sweet 4x4.

 

8 fucking inches??!! (Thats what she said) you sure its axle wrap causing the lift, and not pinion angle??

 

Damn that's a lot!

Are you sure your springs aren't fucky?

 

what ever it is its due to the axle rotating under load. and yes 8" roughly. if i just accelerate hard the back end stands straight up, and if i'm on the brakes and the gas (standing still) it lifts so high i'm staring at the ground i feel like.

springs are pretty new. and lsk set it up at 52.5"

 

That's a lot of anti-squat!! Would be awesome for snow wheeling up deep hillsides!

 

And time!

 

Where are you lower shock mounts on the axle?

 

He has a cantilever setup

 

Shock mounts are about 6" off the back of the axle

I don't want a automatic...yes I know it will take more time...but I really enjoy the building process

Stick a go pro under there. I bet it's not axle wrap. Mine does it too, and it's caused by the axle torque lifting the frame at the spring hangers. The springs don't form an "S" like axle wrap, it's anti-squat. I also have 12" shackles over the frame. It doesn't seem to happen on trucks with inverted shackles...fwiw.

 

I'll get a go pro shot some time. But I'd the axle is still torquing wouldn't a traction bar setup eliminate this?
