Long Travel BS Thread

For sale 2.0 2.5" I've had these for about a year seen the desert about 8 times $385 OBO

 

Cans still welded to your truck?

@SanClemTaco

My tie rods were 10" - I wonder if they're supposed to be shorter because I don't have the lift spindles, but I'll email them.

 

Yep

 

Are they coming off?

 

Nope, Going to will the plate over the Fox part to hide it

 

Ok guy so replacing my ujoint s on my truck what ones should a go with ?

 

Dana Spicer / moog / oem?

 

You can call up Inland Empire Driveline and see what they recommend, but oem works.

 

FYI... OEM u-joints are Spicer.

 

look how much thread is showing on the heim, that isnt ideal. i would email them with the measurements and get there opinion

i was told the same thing by the shop that retubed mine

 

So I’m a little stuck - Deciding if I want to go to a full new midtravel setup, or used LT setup. Most of my adventuruing is just hauling through the desert, but there is a good bit of rock crawling (Moab type).

Any opinions? I have the budget for extended kings front and 12” shocks rear (with bamf kit) or a used LT kit.

 

LT

 

What do you mean by used LT kit? If your talking tc race kit then go for it. If you’re talking all pro stay mid travel

 

Yeah I was talking a +2 kit.

If I found a +3.5 TC kit I’d go for it....and pay you to install it bc I’m lazy lol

 

Thanks! I wasn't sure if that was because the 600 # springs I have on there were making me sit high. I emailed them.

 

tie rods shouldn't look like that regardless of position in the travel. if that was the case the bumpsteer would be completely unacceptable as that would be over an inch toe out per side at droop

 

So I ended up getting the splicer Dana U joints Without a Zirk fitting

 

The ones that I pulled off my truck earlier this year were. The yokes at the CB and transmission were as well. I didn't look on the rear diff flange, but I would bet it is too. I replaced mine with greasable AC Delco u-joints.
