Long Travel BS Thread

yea just get a 90degree fitting.

edit: or 45. anything besides straight should do the trick.

 

I need a a fitting that will allow the biggest shock possible, maybe a 3.5

 

then get a 90degree one..

 

DSM should be able to help you out, they swapped the fittings on my C/O to 90s

 

Good luck getting your tires to clear it when articulated! On mine I had to flip the shocks so the tubes are on the frame side for a little extra clearance

 

I have plenty of room between shocks and tires

 

?

 

Thanks man. Should have thought of that.

 

I do too when sitting flat. The bypass will be a lot closer to the tire and when it articulates the top of the tire will go forward and in

 

How did your 3.0 fit?

 

It's tight. Like I was saying I have to have the tubes on the frame side so the tire won't run them when you get crossed up

 

A cantilever setup for bypass would be sick

 

This is part of the reason I ran my shocks inboard of the frame.

 

Me too. When you stuff one tire while the other is drooped there is not enough room outside the frame unless the axle is roughly two feet wider than stock. At least with 37's and 3.0 bypass shocks. Might be able to clear at max articulation with some skinny stockers.

 

That's the reason I notched into the frame for my bypasses to angle in more to clear 35's at full articulation.

 

Completely random but LT Jeep JK...

still a solid axle.... but SICK AS FUCK!


but not 85k sick as fuck. ouch.
but dam, that is sex.

 

this is funny because I can actually picture you saying this.

 

I notched my frame too so I could get extra clearance with the 3.0s, at full gnarticulation the tire is barely clear from the tubes and that's with 33s. If I make the jump to 35s I'm almost sure they will rub.
