Long Travel BS Thread

I hope you cleaned that and cooked it ha fresh duck is amazing

 

So I'm buying a used camburg kit soon. Planning on king coilovers and bumps. Down south has great prices for what I want. Three questions: I'm thinking of getting the compression adjustable coilovers, anyone running them? Like/dislike? And if I choose to get shocks without coils, what length and rate should I get? I'll be mostly street, but want to get down to business when off street. What valving should I be looking to get? My train of though is stiff valving, but when the compression adjuster is turned to zero it would provide a fairly decent on road ride.

 

Do you plan on running a bypass or just a coilover? The only advantage i see in the compression adjusters is preventing cavitation when running heavy valving in a coilover but if you run a bypass you don't have to worry about that.

 

Price?

 

You pretty much have a stock rear setup so you won't be "getting down to business" with a front LT kit. It will drive like a flopping turd. Whatever you are going to spend on a used front kit, put into a rear LT setup.

 

Currently I have a mid travel deaver / icon rear which will be replaced by a sua deaver setup. I'd go for four link, but it's my dd. I'm on the build it right the first time, and only once type deal. The front kit is going to happen because I promised myself once I pay my truck off I will go LT. Paid it off April 25th. Bypass will happen in the somewhat near future. And I'm apparently a super noob, so what exactly is cavitation?

So compression adjustment is a waste of money?

I figured I'd ask before I pull the trigger. So any input is more than appreciated.

 

get the kit, start with coilovers and bumps, test, revalve, repeat.

do the rear first, i wish i would've. rear made a hell of a difference.

 

Shoot me a PM when you are ready, I can get you started in the right direction.

If ur 2wd i have a buddy selling a complete front total chaos kit plus spindle, and sway away coilovers and bypasses...pm
Me for details if ur interested only thing ud probably need would be breaklines and also bumpstops if u wanted em hes probably lookin to get rid of it in about 3-4 weeks

***edit stick to buying RJ's kit haha this goes for anyone else tho

 

He's buying my kit.

 

Personally, I'd go RJs just cause I mean, look at his truck. Look how many smiles it brought that mo fo

From riding in rjs truck.. Get his kit. That kit was dialed!

 

Wonder no more.... he just bought a prius & is now in shop getting linked

 

Yeah, it cycles travel really clean. I have watched it very very closely for any bends or cracking. None. Very little -to none bumpsteer from what I can tell. Great handling.
