Long Travel BS Thread

Hope it doesn't happen again too.

 

Try using a CV band and not a hose clamp when you redo them. Its really easy to get a standard worm gear clamp too tight which will cut into the boot and cause it to prematurely fail.

 

Don't run a clamp on the lower part of the boot. I never ran them on mine with no issues! No leaks and no debris, including water got inside. My 1st set lasted over a year before starts to split in the seems in between a fin.

 

I tried no clamps and there was grease everywhere lol so that didn't work. How long do you think until the boots rip conpletely? I have loosed the hose clamp significantly

 

Did u try pushing the boot up and wiping the grease off the shaft then sliding it back down? Next time u do new boots try it with no clamp on bottom, and don't smear grease on shaft or that part of boot if u can avoid it. Like I said mine never had any issues with no clamps. Once my cracks in the fins started to seep I changed them but I let one go for a lil while and it would just seep a lil bit and fling it all around the suspension. It didn't just let go completely like a full ripped boot.

 

Something new coming very soon. 4wd kit with fabricated spindle and lots of travel.




And a bronco I'm finishing up for chasing at the Baja 500.

 

+6 4wd kit?

 

Beam work looks good! Interested in seeing the front set up on the bronco once it's done. You post on gofastbroncos?

 

How wide is the 4x4 kit going to be?

 

5.5 over. Working on Dana 44 or stock hub option with 4wd and 930 inner cvs. Same width as the current 2wd kit. Redesigned the 2wd kit also.

 

Not on many forums. Doing this bronco for a friend but once it's done will have a few products for broncos. Bronco should be driving tonight. Snap some pictures.

 

What's the average cost to rebuild 2 fox 2.0's long travel shocks? Found a good deal on some that need a rebuild just curious if it's worth rebuilding or just to buy new

 

Contact @Downsouth Motorsports they are right next to you in the Grantville area.

They hooked me up with my LT kit just didn't wanna call anybody cuz it's not a for sure I'm even getting the shocks

 

One side was fine but the other side wasn't very tight ...either the boot or shaft...gonna put thick sip ties on

 

They can still give you a quote.

 

I'll give them a call thanks for the info

 

solid mounted my lowers and need to do alignement. Should I set camber and caster to zero? Or should I do a few degrees positive on both?

 

Camber and toe to zero and caster to 3 or 4 degrees. Or you can dial in a little positive camber to make it corner better in the dirt.
