Long Travel BS Thread

Anyone looking to trade 12" 2.5 fox double bypasses for 10's?

 

Have 12's need 10's

 

Thank You! Turns out two bleed holes are open out of 4, so im good there and same with the ifp.

Now I screwed up and got a stupid snap ring stuck in the shock and gouged some metal so Im going to get that taken care of then reinstall, other than that super simple, pissed I waited this long to revalve now haha.

On another note anyone need 500# springs? or brand new swayaway 2.5x8 coilovers without springs or with the 500s.

 

Garage fab

 

Ah damn I forgot foxes are 4 screws, try it and see but it might need another screw in there/and or more valving. Fox Pistons flow a lot more then King/saw so on a-arm from ends they need more comp valving

 

I have a 20 stack for compression in my tool box already so I'll test it as is and go from there. You think any of these shock servicing guys can bore out the metal scratches? Kicking myself in the ass over such a small dumb mistake

 

WTF?

are you going Canti?

 

20 sounds good, how bad is the scratch? Does your fingernail catch it? Maybe try some emry cloth or fine sand paper to smooth it out

 

Oh yeah, its honestly pretty bad, catchs my fingernail, its not just a surface scratch and not to mention the snap ring is still stuck in there pretty good. So you think instead of the 15 I should try the 20 on compression right off the bat? Thanks for the help by the way

 

How do you drive? I needed 20 with the weight of the cage and stuff in the bed while hitting larger stuff. If you aren't hitting bigger stuff then 15 should do you fine.

Hard to tell without a video showing what your current valving is doing.

 

Yeah, I get that it has a lot to do with driving style and what not, I bought these coilovers used so I needed to go through them anyway and the valving/springs weren't correct at all. I'll be able to get some video in the future but for now this valving will do and I can always tear into the coilovers for fine tuning. Hopefully this will be much better than what it has been though.

 

Don't think its his truck, I'd don't see holes in the back of the cab from where his cab cage connected to his bed cage. It's probably Chris's

 

Yup! It's Chris's truck

 

Really depends on your driving style what kind of terrain you're going to be in. You can start with the 15s and then go up from there if it's A DD/play truck

 

First gen guys running hydro bumps on stock axle, how big of wheel spacers do you guys run to clear them?

 

i have stock bumps but have 1.5 inch spacers on the rear to make the truck look not as weird with a 5.5 over kit

 

Try a small cylinder honing tool maybe? Or a buddy with a lathe and a boring bar

 

And anyone got reading material on cantilever setups or do I have to get better at solidworks?

 

None. I ran mine thru the frame.

 

None.....I have a t100 axle
