Long Travel BS Thread

Did some late night testing

 

Must be a DTF thing about taking pictures at the gas station.

 

Or at the dunes

took the truck to glamis again! Should've got the DTF kit from the beginning!!

 

I need more compression on the rear, getting to my rear bumpstops too much. Took the coil overs over to downsouth motorsports last time, anyone know other place to valve them better?

 

bypasses is what you need. coilovers can only do so much.

 

Where's the vid of 90 through the whoops?

Have your welder revalve them. He does good work.

 

What's your problem man, why do you always chime in to talk shit

 

This.... Once you start to load up too much valving in a coilover it becomes backwards progress.

 

Bypasses coming soon along with engine cage

Getting around 18'' because of bumping LCAs, getting the full 19'' with the engine cage bumping UCAs. I was getting 16'' with the engage kit but never installed the bypasses.

 

Couple vids of the homies F150. My tacoma isn't cutting it after riding in this thing. 39s with a 5.0 I beams and links. This thing will hit anything. https://vimeo.com/112717043https://vimeo.com/112717180

 

Omg that thing is sex... Lucky you man. I bet the itch to build and buy more is heavy now haha

 

Seen that F150 a few times. It really hauls!

 

I know 2'' more travel isn't much but it handles way better. Maybe the 10'' coil over makes difference and no bump steer haha.

 

Any one else with these issues? and how was the install?? I would love the dmz kit but man its so expensive to get it installed! I need to see how much other shops would charge to install their kit.

 

the main issue regarding bumpsteer on engage kits is the spindle.

mine setup with a camburg spindle gets less than 3/4" total bump steer (between both sides) in 16" of travel.

as far as the blue truck, still seems to me like 90MPH in the "big whoops" is a load of bs. especially with no bypasses for tuning. IF however you managed to hit 90 in big stuff good for you, although you must have half a brain to do that without a REAL cab cage.

 

I agree with Shawn.

 

What giant kit? 64 or 62? I know the 64 kit runs outside the frame on first gens so an axle swap is needed, not sure how that would work with the dovetailed frame on 2nd gens.

 

Jen, Jlvrse has the 64 kit i think.

 

I need to pick up coil sliders for my new to me 10" dual rates. All German motor makes a 3 piece slider. Any of you guys ever look into it at all? Supposed to let each spring compress and twist independently for less friction.

Or should I just save he $200 and get the regular pair? What's different between the race series slider and the normal blue one? ThAnks in advance.
