Long Travel BS Thread

Any of you guys have problems with your grill rattling and just being loose due to use? I'm wondering what to do about mine and I'm thinking about just removing it or coming up with a metal frame and welding it together to replace the plastic surround...any insight and ideas?

 

Zip ties did the trick for me instead of the push pins.

 

getting there pulling 16" will have more pic soon

 

Im trying to dial in my rear SUA leafs, they are much too stiff right now.. im running the E30DH pack. What is the difference between removing short leafs vs. long leafs?

its a 10 leaf pack, before i even installed them i removed the bottom 3 short leafs, should i remove 2 longer leafs and throw one of the short ones back in?

 

fuck yeah all the time... i used to lose corner markers every season, now i use a jack load of zip ties to reinforce the crappy plastic mounts

 

Removing that many leafs it sounds like you have the wrong leaf pack to begin with. But call deaver and get their suggestion based on what you're running. Or throw weight in the bed so they work properly.

 

Anyone running headers with total chaos shock tower gussets?
If so, whatchu got?

 

I thought TRAC wasn't around anymore

 

yeeee keep it a SECRET

 

I'm running the LCE header on my 2TR, and I have TC coil bucket gussets.

 

I guess I shoulda specified 1gr-fe, trying to see what my options are.

 

Coil bucket gussets shouldn't have any effect on what headers you can run. I don't know who all makes 1GR headers, but URD is the one I know of.

 

The URD equal length headers specifically state they can't be used with Coil bucket Gussets. I've heard a couple guys have made them fit with solid motor mounts and maybe some gusset notching. I've been contemplating running those as well. All other headers should fit just fine. I think the Equal lengths just have to much bulge right where the gussets are and engine bouncing causes them to hit the gussets.

 

You can run everything but urd’s, with no issues. You can even run urd’s but it involves a little more work

 

URD headers, TC coil bucket gussets and solid motor mounts and they work great!

 

Not exactly, I’m running URD equal length with Solo gussets, but with solid motor and trans mounts.
Swapped the DTFs out for DMZ mounts after all the fan clearance issues.

 

LS swap? so a trailer queen. going full race truck , nice.

 

Nope. Trying to stay carb legal if possible . Gotta find a 2015+ LS to throw in

 

Sold the wife on a full cage by saying my boy can have it when he's 16 and a full roll cage will make it the safest truck on the road

 

I thought it had to be from like model as well to do swap CA legal. I don't know much about it. never done research on it. But sounds awesome.
