Long Travel BS Thread

Okay im gonna just be "that guy" i guess..

You have 2 things that are gonna happen here i foresee in the life of your truck..


1) You're gonna realize that you just wanna do light mobbing and mostly crawling/trails and stuff. Stick with rubber/poly bumps. No secondary shocks needed. Or really any major gusseting. Maybe the cam tabs and spindle. Call it a day and enjoy it.

2) You'll realize you fucked up on the +2 kit, wishing you'd gotten the full +3.5'' kit and want to make it a full LT truck...and spend 5x the money you thought you would just on suspension..lol

Really, with the +2 kit and a mid travel setup rear with mostly slow stuff in mind with the occasional fun spirited sprint down some road, which happens to everyone, I'd just do poly bumps or similar and don't bother with secondaries.



Or..ignore everything i just posted like a boss and do something completely different

thats cool too.

haha

 

Haha thank you!! I'm thinking it's just gonna be scenario one. I just kinda have the burning desire to make the tires leave the ground... Only a little bit!! As long as the bumps are setup correctly I don't think I'll need to worry about anything breaking. I have coil bucket, spindle, and cam tab gussets

 

Be jelly

 

Eh insert sarcasm emoji here

 

Tongue punch my fart box

 

Who makes some 48" ish long links that have the shocks really close to the axle to work with my double cab? Stalked Trac's Instagram and all the double cabs I saw were regular beds not shorty like mine. Tube main structure is fine with me, I don't need full boxed canoe links

 

How soon do you need them?

 

Now somebody wants links. I gave my Engage kit away a couple months ago. You could have used the links and mounts to build a three link if anything!

 

Hey Gents, I was wondering will I need misalignment spacers between the shock mounts and bypasses and where could I find some. I've been looking around but I'm unsure the width size I'm going to need. Any info would be great, thanks.

 

For all 2.5 Shocks is going to be a 1/2" bolt and either 1.25" or 1.5" tab width. If its going on a front LT kit its going to be all 1.25" tab width.

Are shocks lefty loosey righty tighty? I think I'm losing my mind

 

Yes

 

No rush but if the right deal came up I have money for them. I don't want to link my truck, but at the same time I do....

Get them back and sell to me, kthnx

 

I thought tracs trucks where double cab short beds not long beds..

 

Ones short the other is long, the one that just raced glen Helen is long bed

 

None of them look as short as a first gen double cab's bed.

 

Thanks for the link.

 

oh didn't know you were a 1st gen.

But 2nd gen Dbl SB are 5' just like ours. Just wider.

 

@jeffz0rz makes custom links, he is building a set for me currently for my DBCB short bed.

 

Pretty sure it's been asked, but where can I look up information pertaining to setting up and figuring out the geometry for link?

@jeffz0rz may be getting some more business.
