Long Travel BS Thread

hmmm,12" strips are a bit long. to bad there not 6" strips

 

Well you are in luck, you can cut them shorter! I cut my white one to 6"

 

yeah, i cut mine too.

 

That's dam good for $20

Saw this at the dealership

 

^ i think i remember seeing that truck for sale on RDC not too long ago...

 

Dude if I was in Cali that would be mine. It is way smarter to have something cheaper to beat on. I need a $30K full size truck and 18 foot trailer to tow my current truck if it breaks.

 

seriously. it would be a perfect little play truck. all it needs it the rear susp built. i kinda toyed with the idea of picking it up and selling mine, but i'd have to sell mine first to have the money, and trucks aren't selling that well these days...

i'd be in the same situation as this guys, he's been trying to sell for months...

 

Its a horrible market to sell a built truck. I considered selling this and buying a beater and a tow rig to go with it but now is not the time. I will just hold on to this and buy a tow rig in 4-5 years. Real life priorities

 

I think I may have found a tow rig

what do you guy think is a f350 enough to tow my D-cab

 

^ sure, you can prob the front wheels of your truck on top of the cab like people do w/ quads...hahahaha

 

lol

I can get a light car trailer

 

AWESOME!!!

It belongs to a friend of a friend I think I can get it for under 2 grand

 

ford 350's and chevy3500 are beast of trucks if they have the diesel in them. My old work truck before getting laid off was a 3500 i remember putting about 6k lbs in the bed and pulling 80-85mph up the grapevine come home from norcal. Climbed it with out a hesitation. 350s and 3500 are the same chassis as the 250 and 2500 but with lighter rear suspension at least the current ones are

 

Yeah it is. I got the play truck in my sig for dirt cheap cuz these trucks don't sell right now. But I'd never own a LT truck for DD. The little trucks are fun. The insurance is cheap cuz it's a base model and my cali reg was only $90. Plus the 4 banger gets a good 23mpg. May go down a bit with the cab cage. That 5lug looks like it already has a 62" leaf pack. Just missing some 16" smoothies.

 

How much did u get urs for?if u don't mind me asking

 

For the people doing mid travel setups...is there a good way to "beef" up or reinforce the LCA especially the narrow part that goes from the body of the LCA to the balljoint that connects to the bottom of the spindle? I am trying to find a pic online of what I am talking about but I think you guys should be able to figure it out

And before someone says buy TC LCA, I am not going to spend 1000 bucks on that.

 

I've never heard of a stock lower arm breaking but I guess it could happen with enough beating lol The part your referring to is riveted on correct? Maybe just weld it in place for extra strength
