Long Travel BS Thread

Lol good answers. I should have probably been more clear about my reasoning behind my questions. I'm putting my front kit on first and I'd like to set the height on the co's to roughly where they're going to stay after the rear setup and new tires are on. Therefore if I can set them for 1.5" higher roughly and fit the tires plus match the lift the rear will give then I am pretty much all set. If there's no way I can clear 35's and have to lift 3 inches in front and add another leaf (an option TC told me about from Deaver) then I'll just do 3 up front and maybe deal with a little bro lean for a month and a half. I want to keep the truck as low as possible and still be able to stuff the tires until my uca punches a hole in my fender. Or maybe bump right before that... Is that the right thing to do or hole saw the fender? New questions from new info lol.

As far as the measurements on the tie rod extensions I was just wondering if that was a standard way of measuring the kit as well as wms to wms out of curiosity. Maybe someone else got bored waiting around to install their kit and started measuring things too... What I'd give for another car and a welder lol

 

I think I've seen some posted on another thread saying that they at least eliminate squeaky bushings if that's what you're after. That was the reason guys were putting them on and they said it worked.

 

You didn't pull any threads?

 

naw they all went on fine

 

I'm trying to get a hold of a 90 degree fitting like the one in the pic, called fox and was told it needs to be out sourced. Anyone have any ideas where to look?

I got all of my fittings and hoses at Crown Performance

 

Might be a dumb question but why are your link mounts offset?

 

Are you referring to the JIC fitting?

 

If the 90 degree fitting coming out of the body going to the resi fitting is that then yes

 

I changed the fittings on mine because the hose was too long and I wanted it to not bind up or rub. I'll go get the numbers off them for you.

 

I think I spent like 50 bucks making 2 new lines, salvaged a few parts of factory parts.

 

If you could get me the number for the 90 in the last pic that would be great

 

Probably the only long travel truck to ever carry Caribou.

 

37 degree JIC fitting number 8. You can also take your hose down to Napa and they can make new hoses for you. Cheaper if you do it yourself.

 

equal length axle shafts.

 

yea i can already tell that i want your truck..

So you know. By the time it gets out of there maybe i can afford it because no one drives their built truck as well all know. You just sell it.

So i'll just be here waiting
