Long Travel BS Thread

Best to check when the rear is fully articulated cause the axle will swing some either way with leaf springs...I had to notch my frame because of this when I still had a frame lol

 

According to Tim at DMZ you can mount the shock 1/2" from the frame and it won't rub. His words.

 

Yea my frame is already notched so may have to open it a bit more by the resi, or overall. gonna have to see if I can get some 3.0s to test fit. If not probably get them on and do some extra clearance from there. We shall see

 

Gotta find a set to test fit is best. going new or used? Ive seen a few sets right now, what brand?

 

Used Kings, Im talking to 454 in norcal about some hopeing he can ship. But ima try to see if I can find some to test fit first.

 

Lol not true if ur slow crawling around at all

 

I believe mine are mounted about 1" from the frame and can confirm that with that, the shocks will not rub the frame. 2" wheel spacers and all bypasses layed out forward and the tire won't rub the shocks either.

 

Damn, Gotta make them clear man

 

Yup that's the plan

 

and this is the reason I would go race series if I build another truck, hate those adapters

 

Camburg told me to slather them in red loctite. I said I didn't want to have to take a torch to them but he said you can use red loctite on big suspension bolts like that because you can get big breaker bars on them unlike smaller bolts, so fire isn't needed. I'm gonna slather in blue just so I don't have to deal with pulling out a big ass breaker bar lol, but I agree, next LT I buy will have built in Uniballs.

 

Too bad you weren't asking this two weeks ago had my 3.0s pulled. Could of test fitted them. But truck is at solo now with them back on...

 

Yea if only I had this figured this out 2 weeks ago, But I'm probably just gonna get them and make more clearance while I have them on. Btw love your truck one of the best looking first gens I've seen,love the color too.

 

Thanks man appreciate it. And more to come lol. Same I don't think I'll ever change the color

 

Since my version 1s seem to have failed (bent and cracked) Version 2 uppers or goin for all the beef lol. 1.5x.25" DOM boxed in with 3/16" plate and overplayed top and bottom with 3/16". If these fail the arms were ripped off along with the frame of the truck lol

 

Those are sexy! Nice work! You have a fancy tube bender or just a JD2 with a ram?

 

Thanks!...just a JD2 with a ram bends it no problem

 

I was curious about 0.25, but I’ve barely used mine

 

Well I got the model 32 with the bigger pins...it says it can bend 2" .25 wall....I was using my roommates model 3 to bend this since he has a 1.5 die and it did it no prob

 

I also have the 32 haha. But good to hear!
