Long Travel BS Thread

already bought them

 

Good buy!!

 

Are those 8s?

 

They look like it. 8's with the rod ends welded to the shaft. Whoever buys them will been to build their own mounting hoop or modify one with new upper mounts. I wish they were 3 tube. I contacted the guy prior to seeing he had other picture posted to see if they were 3 tube. Sadly they weren't. Looks like dsm will be getting my money

 

And they come with reseibors, so thats cool

 

Got some pictures of my bedcage progress a couple days ago and was told it should be done by Tuesday. The objective was to maintain as much usable space as possible for surfing, biking and camping stuff so far its looking sick!

 

It would be worth your time to get 4 tubes bent 90 and splice with a rosette weld to your existing vertical tubes. Someone local can whip up 4 bends for you in 15 minutes.

 

I'm so glad I put my shocks outside the frame. Bed space is pretty important to me too lol

 

I would agree. Are the shocks going outside the frame? Looks like you're gonna have a gnar angle

 

Wtf. Why did you put a miter instead of a bend there? Wtf? Wtf? I'm so confused on what part will fail first

 

U need friends with tube benders dude

 

That's what I did lol

 

relax guys its not near being done and this guy kills it at this stuff. your entitled to your own opinion but at the end of that days its not on your truck so stfu

 

yes outside the frame. i told him i want the shocks close to 90 so the angle shouldnt be that crazy

 

With the looks of the cage it's gonna be. You have a tundra axle right?
Your cage looks further forward than mine, and look at my angle. That's with 3" tabs too

 

no i have the TRD axle with the locker. Hes Pretty knowledgeable on this stuff plus he has my shocks to mock up so it better not be a bad angle haha

 

You will not fit shocks outside with the stock axle. I promise you.
And that's with a tundra axle....

 

Wheel spacers and smooth bodies

 

Who is doing the work? I'm pretty close to oceanside

 

its a friend of mine his name is Brian he work for SDGE as a welder
