Long Travel BS Thread

All the way...haha

 

There is no bottom to this... It just keeps going forever

 

truth..so much truth.

 

Hey guys so my last two trucks had lockers in rear, previous ones were one tire fire...

Thoughts on running a LSD in a 2wd LT go fast truck? Cost of locker w/gears n shit is pretty price and could save a bundle just going with a LSD, from what I hear they are more reliable too!

 

Spool it. It's not a daily driver I hope so throw a spool in it.

 

I'm going to swap out my LSD and 4.56 to a detroit locker and 5.29. Eaton has a $50 rebate for this month.

 

I have a question what do you guys Torque your shock bolts down to?

 

Is a spool available for the 8.4? If not I know Lincoln make a bitchin, cheap universal one, it even reuses your stock spider gears!

A non critical load I'll go lower on the torque.

 

A

So around 70-72 would be optimal?

 

For example I have a grade 8 coarse thread 1/2 bolt for my eyelets to my shock tabs, I do 106 ft lbs.

Depends on the bolts you are using.

 

ohh ok i get it now. thanks

 

My vote is Detroit Locker over LSD. Having both tires spinning under full throttle made truck feel faster and more fun to drive to me.

 

this applies to all fasteners large and small.

Highly skilled professional to be able to pull that off.

I gave up on steel fasteners that thread into aluminum. That crap always gets the wrench or I at least look up the spec and be like yup that feels like 20lbs to me.

 

X2 on Detroit locker. I've had the tru trac as well and I like the locker way better

 

whats your guys take on front bump stops for a TC kit i already have sway away bumps and cans but i have mixed feeling about mounting them? any input

 

I ask Tim from Dmz the same question about using bumps with a tc kit, And said he wouldn't recommend it. But id call TC themselves and ask them

 

Thanks man! i have hear different thinks im not sure what to do cause i feel like running no bumps will cause more problems than running them??
