Long Travel BS Thread

Your truck is one of my favorites. What are your future plans for it?

 

Got these yesterday, I have no clue what to do with them. I think they mount to the cold air intake?



Ok seriously though, the frame plates are easy. Help me out here guys please.....so the bucket gussets must go to the right and left side of the coil buckets? And I have no clue how those cam tabs mount up. Any pics or advice would be much appreciated.

Edit......cam tabs mount in stock oe location, and the little rectangle chunks get welded in the cam tab slots too?

 

14 ' s will definitely be lower than the leaf pack. Look at the rest of the pics from that total chaos build. Once it's strapped max travel would be around 15" probably more like 14.5

 

Thanks man, just getting the alignment cams welded up so I don't blow em out everytime I get a little crazy. Outer tie rods are going out so gonna either get a new set of OEMs or maybe heim it up we will see, and I wanna get it in for the engine and cab cage but that takes $$$ and I got a little girl on the way in January so I gotta talk the lady into it using the baby as a reason to keep the truck safe for her hahahaha. We will see how that goes over, glad to be back in the game though

 

That's how I sold my cage to the lady, all about her being safe lol

 

no need to weld it on there, remove the rubber pad from the jack and clock till it locks in on the teeth. These things are great

Does your bed cage have any flex? Just curious seein you use those camburg style tube connectors, I was thinking of using them but assumed they were more for engine cages and such

 

those connectors will have zero flex.
they are the shit.

 

word, my whole skid plate subframe is built with them so we can drop the diff and trans if need be. never had an issue

 

I used one for a mount for a stripper pole on a river float i built
works wonders!

 

may have a deal on some King pure race 3.0x8 double bypasses, would it be stupid to run them? lol figured why not if the price is a steal also, no one knows of anybody that builds a DC bed cage for first gens do they? If not ill build my own but just testing the waters lol

 

I think @whitetoblack is still selling his set up for 16" shocks

 

yea he wont do shipping on it, i talk to him quite a bit lol

 

Look at Jordan's, was a sweet bed cage

 

i know! thats my ideal bed cage! his or codys (blackbirtha) style

 

It was fairly easy to make too

 

seems like it, i can get any material i need (to a certain point) through my buddy for 100-150 bucks. Black Friday i'm hoping i can get a steal on some 16" triple bypasses then in the winter i can make a cage, then i can look into rear LT finally lol then i wont feel like a noob

 

I just saw a pair of fox 2.5x16 tripes on selloffroad.com for $900 and the guy was willing to ship in the ad

Anyone going to the race in luecerne next weekend? Taking my father in law out to check out the race and thinking about shooting a few photos before sunset and looking for a few location recommendations since I won't be able to check out the course to much before the race.
