Long Travel BS Thread

Read this, it says everything you need to do. Doesn't have to be run right off the master though like he did. Good info.

Not gonna lie Chris, these are great pics and all, but its getting to be a little bit of the same shit lol, lets see some action shots!!!

 

Like being pushed around the shop?? Its still being built lol.

 

I mean, its on all 4, it runs..

 

So you're saying strap on the seat belts and make truck sounds. I do that in mine while I sit on a flipped over 5 gallon bucket

 

Uhhhh pretty sure he posted videos if the truck running. So...have fun on your 5 gallon bucket And the suspension is done. The cage is done And weve got a boat load of pictures of the (i agree, actually cool) spare tire swing thing. Just saying, lets get that thing on the road! Whats left?

 

Dont see anyone running the bilstein 9100 or their other high end shocks on their rigs. Their a reason for that? When i do my build i was thinking 9100s and bilstein bumps front and rear to change things up a bit.

 

9100s on your LT build? I dont see why not as long as the extended and compressed lengths are good and you can change the valving

 

Finished my Camburg install this weekend... Damn axles put me through the ringer but everything else seemed really straight forward lol couple questions. What are everyone's alignment numbers looking like? Truck drives incredibly straight? But my camber is a little crazy. Also, what do you guys use to clean parts? Took my old mid travel kit off (barely used) but still want to clean everything up to sell it. Any advice?

 

New Nitto Ridge Grappler, looks like it is Nitto's answer to the Toyo RT ...half way between the Nitto Terra and Trail :

Interesting! I was thinking on upgrading to the RT in 35s when my 34 AT2s die

 

i used brake clean to clean my mid travel. i think it can be hard on paint so just spray some in a rag and wipe whatever your cleaning mine turned out looking really good. as for the alignment i dont know my numbers i just had firestone do it but i thought you could just align it to factory specs.

 

well almost finished boxing the rear frame today but ran out of wire and it got dark will be able to finish tomorrow and hopefully add another cross brace as well as my TC shackle mounts then paint. After that my buddy is building my bed cage!

 

Those are allpro 3" lift leafs right? What would the advantage of going sua with a leaf pack that would work above the leafs be?

 

Not worth the time to do that....ride heigh would be low too

 

i put them under because the 3inch lift is something i didnt want so SUA allows it to ride at stock height

 

My other truck has 9100 coils and bypasses. It runs really good. I just picked up some 9300 Blackhawks for when finish linking it.

 

I've got experience with the 9100's in the past on an old prerunner and a truck I used to race in. Never had issues with bilstein's at all...

 

Just following up here... looking to get rid of our 50T pack. Has a cracked leave and needs a refresh so looking to get $300 for them. To sell it's just not worth the shipping cost from Vegas to get Deaver to do it and then recoup the cost so ideal situation is someone who lives within reasonable driving distance of Deaver than can run them over and get them cleaned up. Deaver quoted $250 for a complete prep and re arch, plus replacing that broken leaf. Could be less if you just have them replace the leaf and do the clean up yourself.

Also...probably looking to ditch out Fiberwerx Tundra conversion clip too. It's a little banged up and has mounting holes but looking for $450 for the clip and mini fenders. If anyone is interested let me know and I can send some pics or we can make arrangements potentially for you to get a look at it in person in Vegas.
