Long Travel BS Thread

Nice man! It's pretty badass seeing you transform the trucks all yourself. I'm slowly learning myself as I go.

. Yea for sure! Especially with 2nd gens! It's hard to find nicer kits with 1st gens usually it seems they're beat to shit

 

yeah always a process. Fun too. takes time money and dedication. Pays off though.

 

Defiently... if your truck is your passion, what's spending a lot of money?

 

I've seen a few - also asking guys selling partially built trucks if they want to part out their front kit can work.

 

Damn that sounds rough. Any idea if it got toasted at all? Not that I'm interested, but kind of messed up if he is selling a busted up ride in the hopes some guy scoops it up not knowing what he is really getting.

 

Ill be having my front 3.5 camburg kit up for sale real soon you can pm me if interested

 

4wd?

 

pmd!

 

Used 3.5" 4wd kits...buy mine, it will give me an excuse to put solos kit on my truck

 

Exactly what I'm doing. Kits almost done. Waiting on shocks and the axles to come in. But first gen

Still available open to reasonable offers. No trades

 

Yes 4wd

 

When setting angles, can you just install everything then install leaf and or CB shims? I was hoping to get it all put together then worry about the driveline angles after. Is that what you did? Or am I missing something, like there's more to it?
Thanks

 

Just take the time to do it right the first time, it's far easier to build it correctly than to spend a ton of time trouble shooting and taking things back apart to add shims etc.

 

That would be a terrible way to do it. No offense but maybe you should have a Shop do it ?

 

Point noted. No offense taken. I'm not having a shop do it. I'll figure it out...even if it's the hard way.
This is a learning experience for me, don't think I'll learn much by having someone else do it.

 

Buy a digital angle finder. harbor freight actually has a decent one. Jberry someone on Tw has a good post about using it to find the correct angles.

Totally agree. Glad you are willing to do it yourself and take advice from others. A lot of people now days don't lol

I used this to double check my driveshaft angle and it was pretty easy.

Funny man I just came across your other post in the socal adds. Man that def looked like a rough hit. Anyone know if he had some damage after that?

 

Hmmm I heard metal on metal.
