I would do 12 comp and 8 rebound

 

99% of the trucks that go to the glamis meet do not venture in the dunes. There are a select few 4x4 ones that will dune it. 2wd trucks do not belong in the dunes, you will get stuck very very fast.
its definitely alot of fun though, i would bring your dirtbike as well.

 

It's been like 6 years and a lot of beers since Tim did the revalve on them, I was packing and the rear wasnt dropping out fast enough so he did the rebound more than the compression in mine. I would call him and ask I'm sure he kept notes on what he did or I can look at the reciepts of what we bought at Kartek. Will hit you up later if I find it

 

I bought used shocks that were valved 20/12. They worked awesome for me!

 

Can anyone recommenda powdercoat shop near corona/riverside/orange county with quality work and good prices? Looking to get some springs pc'ed and possibly my lower arms too

 

this is for 2nd Gen right?

 

If it's packing up then it's a rebound issue not necessarily a compression issue. Most leaf sprung trucks buck from lack of compression and or to slow of rebound. If you have bypassed the rebound tube should be wide open.

 

Sorry everyone, it is rebound in fact that I am revalving. I spoke with Micah at DSM (I took a quick glance at the e-mail and flipped what DSM said on accident) and they suggested running 12/10. I'm going to try that for now to see how it feels. Currently I have it at 12/12 with all three tubes wide open. They are 3.0s SAW triples if that makes a difference.

 

Get someone to get a fly by video is the best. My buddy running 15comp and 8reb on a 2.5

 

I'm running 20 on comp with 8 rebound and works very well. Weight and geometry play a large role in what you'll need. Takes time but your having fun doing it!

 

15/8 for the win. 20/8 for mad whoops and mash sessions. 3 bleeds open.

 

i wish that i could be like the cool kids lol 1.25 pvc i made this in about 10 minutes, any ideas, thoughts?
you guys kinda get the idea? then in front of the spare against the cab side ill have a simple x going across

 

I'd go with ABS, over PVC.

 

Yeah black abs is the strongest

 

It's a little tricky getting around the gas filler neck btw

 

Need some quick pics, anyone point me in the direction of some 2nd Gen DCSB LT builds? Specifically where the shock tabs mount on the axle, and how the bypasses are mounted

 

Dude in Cali offered me these Pure race 3.0 double bypasses for $1,400obo what do you guys think? New seals and valving, and lower rod ends. I wanna do my cage in the rear and Black Friday I'm hoping to get a deal on some King 16" triples, then sell my 12" or put them on my crawler. Pics of the 3.hoes

 

anyone looking for some mocked up Fox 8" RR Coilovers? set up for dual rate springs but easily changed. Valved 50/70. Customer needed 10s and sent them back. $1200, willing to ship on your dime but we have a UPS account.
