Long Travel BS Thread

Also in for dick measuring.......AP Expo Leafs....27 Units of measurement of the entire world but Murica'

 

Bro, I pull 21" without the shocks and limit straps and add in some drive shaft binding ! #linkkiller lol

 

Without shocks, limit straps, and no regard for my u joints, I can get 45" of travel in the rear before my heims bind. /contest.

 

Camburg's #'s are metal to metal. Which yes, it can pull that, but is it gonna be strapped and bumped at that. No. That's the thing. A lot of companies claim travel #'s, but what # they are claiming is not what is clear. Is it usable, metal to metal, or Capable of with trimming and fab to make room.


The Camburg Kit will be bitchin, as is the DMZ kit. A lot of you guys get caught up in travel #'s and amount of travel. When in reality, lot's of travel that's not the cleanest is pointless. I would rather take 13-15" of good, clean well valved and set-up travel over 18+ any day of the week. Including Sundays!

Look at a few years back. Dan Vance's truck has 15" up front..Jono's Tundra has 20+...And Dan could keep up right with him, same with a few of the LS rangers with beams.

 

Is it really going to matter if you get 17" or 18" of travel?
your still going to need the tuning to get it to cycle properly and not bump too early etc
I can understand the 12" or so for a bolt in pack and custom shock mounts versus the 17" or so for spring under making a large difference, but 1 or 2 inches?

 

^^^This is precisely why I think the two kits are going to perform very similarly.

 

My front end pulls 16" once bumped and strapped, I think it works ok....

 

Travel numbers don't mean shit. My truck pulls a metric shit ton of travel and I know people with way less travel that can leave me sitting. Tuning, tuning and tuning is what matters.

 

Happy thanksgiving!

 

22" metal to metal and 17" bumped and strapped.

Build one yourself bud.

Those look really nice.

 

Yeah I'll just buy some led strips and cover the flag whip I have

 

That's what I did. Bought 16' wheel of LEDs and wrapped a 4' FireStik CB antenna. Then cover with heat shrink

 

I did the same. Wrapped the 5ft below the flag on my 6ft whip. I recommend getting the non waterproof LED roll. It will wrap better. I used a water proof roll and all the waterproofing cracked and peeled off making it hard to get the heat shrink over the whole thing.

 

Where did you got the heat shrink? Can't find clear
