Long Travel BS Thread

Post pics next time you do it! That's pretty interesting

 

I saw that thing! Looked clean and low miles but a little pricey. It was up for a while though so im sure you knocked him down quite a bit. Enjoy the v8 life... i know I am

 

The guy lived in. Ventura, but he said he bought it from someone down here I think....

 

Ya it's in good shape and doesn't need much. I've been talking to him for about a month and was def able to get a decent price.

V8 life is good! On my way out to Oco now

 

mcneil glass?

 

I think so. Same as mine. The 6 inch aggressive ones they have

 

Figured here would be the best spot to ask about hiemed UCA adjustment...I thought I saw/heard of an adapter/unit that allows you to adjust a hiem while still bolted to the truck? I know the Icon billet upper arm with the hiem joints on it has a pinch bolt style that allows them to be adjusted on the truck. Is there such a thing for a normal hiem arm like the TC arms with hiems? I'm going to be solid mounting my lowers soon and want to get things lined out before i dive in...

 

Most hiemed uppers need to have the bolt removed to be able to adjust the hiem.

 

Since the heims thread into the bung that is welded into the upper arm, there is no way to adjust without removing the mounting bolt. Removing the upper is easy peazy anyways so I wouldn't worry.. I think a few pages ago Fabien talked about the best spot to put the lower arm when solid mounting, might wanna check that out.

 

That tundra is so dialed, was trying to get friends in town to buy it.

 

I don't remember saying anything about where to set solid lower tabs but I think the middle of the slotted hole makes the most sense.

Then again all frames are different and depending on that, the set ride height, and what kit is being installed, the lower solid tabs might need to be setup more in or out.

I was thinking these might be cool for alignment without unbolting upper arms but it would be kinda pricey for 4 of them for a set of arms and I don't know if they might be a weak link.

Love that video. Sliding on those lower arms can't be good for them lol

 

He thinks its a skateboard lol

 

I swear the drivers side LCA looks bent in that log slide segment

 

Ya I def looks like he bent it

 

Trying to get the calipers on the rotors but they don't open enough to fit, anyone know how to get them opened?

 

pry them slowly with a pry par

 

Open the bleeder if needed and use a pry bar

 

Do you have access to a c clamp? I have a tool for this but a clamp doesthe same thing take off the pads and compress the pistons then re install the pads and put them on.
