Long Travel BS Thread

02 sensor harness...forgot to zip tie it up after the t case swap.....
Replacing the efi fuse and separated the wires and it fired right up. None of the wires burnt through completely. I'm either gonna replace each burnt section and solder it or I have a spare o2 plug on an extra wiring harness I have lol

 

Just throwing this out there

I've been looking and talking to a couple other members about the Currie F9. What are your guys thoughts on Trail Gears roller?

That seems like an incredibly good deal with brakes included !? How much do axles run for it ?

 

Sick. I wish I had money. Be a fun little rig

 

Can verify, it's a blast and a half.

 

Would like to here thoughts about this as well

 

Got more shit done today
The center bar unbolts too

 

Nice

 

Quick question. How much leaf seperation is considered bad at droop?

 

Not sure. I have none at 17"
Post a pic of it ??
Bedcage looks sweet btw

 

Ah like at 18-19, the main leaf is spread off the pack an inch

 

For what it's worth, I'm not expert at any of this and am mostly talking out my #2 hole so take that in to consideration....but out of curiosity have you run the truck strapped at say 16-17"? On our race truck I'm guessing we could probably easily get ourselves to 18-19" of travel (our class limits rear travel to 18") but we're probably strapped somewhere around 16". I'd have to verify that if you care but the reason behind it was we suspected we'd get more life out of our leaf pack by minimizing separation. Honestly we could push another inch or two out and maybe maintain the same amount of leaf spring longevity but I'm not sure we'd notice the difference in that extra inch or two of travel.

Maybe....it's not really something we've played with much. But bottom line for what it's worth we're running the race truck strapped probably a good 2" less than what the rear could pull and we beat the dog snot out of it. We've cracked a main leaf once or twice I think over two years but that's hard race miles. If we were just weekend playing I'm guessing we'd have even fewer issues.

 

Yea I'm gunna strap it to 16-17", just need to move my shackle hanger back a smidge

 

Once the leafs separate it's useless wheel travel anyways. At that point it doesn't have any spring rate so it's doing nothing for you. Keeping them from separating will save them a whole lot. eventually you will break a main regardless of setup through. You can onlY bend a piece of metal so many times. When my race truck was leaf sprung we were breaking them in 18miles like clock work, but the truck was also able to do 76mph down main in Barstow like nothing so we might of been over working them just a little.

 

what pack was it that you were breaking in 18 miles?
that's insane

 

Barstow Main is insane

 

Yea I was just checkin, I got the rear hangers set all happy happy now 17" no seperation

 

Started with f67 then h70, then even went with a fully custom pack before I cut the truck in half. First race of 07 I even did a main leaf swap during the race lol

 

Made progress last night
