Long Travel BS Thread

hey with the new bypass shock should i do remote reservoir to my bed cage or run piggie back reservoir (bed cage made to run the reservoir)
idk

 

@Redroger36

 

lots of guys have done that with great results.

 

I was bamf shock relocation, sos shackle flip w/ extended shackles, allpro standard leaf springs, and king 2.0x12 shocks before I went long travel and spring under. It was a great setup. Had tons of droop and flex, and did decent through fast stuff

 

Yes sir, i had bilstein on all corners and never had issues, they rock

Do you get discounts?

Ive been there, cant remember the guys name he use to work there, big guy, he showed around the place cool exerience and he helped me get some shock bodies from a customer he made custom work on

 

Running remote will give you more room for sure

 

I'll say the opposite. Piggyback. Most rear I'll see the bypasses set up as piggyback. You would need to run a pretty long hose if you do remote because the resi is near the center of the body instead of the end cap. Assuming you have enough room for piggyback.

 

Get some steel plate and start cutting, then come see me and we'll burn it on.

 

I did message them on fb, would be cool if he they do make these as it would make the process much easier. Appreciate the shout!

 

We might get @Skell to Lazer cut them if it's not a product.

And if it is a product let me know.

 

Yea man I def will let you know either way as I can just see mine getting busted up without these in a few years.

 

If you have the room, I'd say piggyback. Saves room, don't have to worry about fraying the hose, and leaves them out of sight from prying eyes. I have remote reservoir but run them under the tube to try and leave them a bit out of sight.

 

Piggyback, was easier to cut a larger hole in the bed than try to find another location to run a remote reservoir IMHO

 

how big of a whole do i think i need for the bypass about 8" long ?

 

Any LT kits up for sale for a first gen?

 

If you decide on remote resi, make sure you get bottom mount resi's, fox makes bypasses with the resi out the top cap, don't want that on a bypass to really use the bump zone.
I think piggy back resi's cool oil better than remote.

Someone is selling some fox 2.5 x 16" bypasses on race-desert right now.

 

@flapJack33 said he's going to have one for sale soon I believe.

 

yesssss sir

 

If anyone else is interested in these let me know - I'm planning on picking them up tonight unless someone really needs them and is pressed financially. I can afford new ones if there's someone else that needs a steal on them.
