Long Travel BS Thread

They come off similar to Kings. The lower spring perch comes off and the spring comes off the bottom. The spring perch is retained by an o-ring and a couple pieces that lock it in place.

 

Where do you live!? You truck is eating itself alive!

Spring come off the bottom as stated above. Would be a perfect opportunity for a rebuild. What rate springs do you have now?

 

Ah alright. So loosen the spring, hit perch up so it comes loose then remove locking peices so it slides off?

KS. They salt the shit out of the roads. Yeah rebuild wouldnt be bad. I really dont want to fix the frozen bolt though, haha.

Im guessing 650s? No numbers i can see on the springs. I had 700s on MT before and it didnt have this much sway

 

Saw you out there a couple times on split mountain road

 

Are they factory springs? If so they are 600#.

 

Just save and do it right and a good fabricator in the area I would say is castle fab in lake Forrest or look around murrieta and Temecula there’s tons of good fab guys out there for way cheaper

 

used kit without info when i got it. 600s may be true, way too soft then.

 

I got a set of hoses to convert some piggybacks to remote reservoir and got fittings for my coilovers for $5 a piece and a pair of hoses for $50 here:

The store in Anaheim works with Dialed shock prep so they're pretty familiar with guys coming in with shocks, but any location can give you replacements. The old style fittings were 1/2" I believe, but the opening on an o-ring one is 3/8".

Thanks dude! I actually got it all figured out without having to buy new fittings *woo*

 

Yep.

 

Yep that was out in glamis a few weeks ago. Super fun trip and great guys

 

Thanks. Ordered some 700s to replace, really want my truck.handling like it did before

 

Report how you like or dislike.

 

Will do. I liked how it was on MT so id imagine itll be the same feeling. Truck was very steady.

Hello mofos
In regards to wheelers super bumps up front.
Everyone says they are soft.
Do they compress to the point of the stock bumps? Or further?
Are yall running spacers?
I just put them in. When my bypasses arrive I’ll be using the last compression as my “hydro bump “
What are you fuckers doing?

 

Im TC and they don't recommend bumps of any kind with their kits besides extending the stock ones. Im pretty sure they are the only ones who do this...although I think your super bumps might die out sooner than later if you are doing a lot of hits. I would think some hydros would be better, but I know space is always tight with those in there.

I just got bypasses installed and they def help quite a bit.

 

Glad to see my thread still living on and almost 80k posts

 

I’ve had wheelers superbumps since I was pretty much stock, and I like them a ton.
Wheelers says they compress down to stock, but with a much more controlled bottoming.
That’s exactly how I’d describe them, controlled bottoming without the abrupt bouncing slam of oem ones.
With Camburg LT, I still like them.
Eventually I’ll get hydro bumps to maybe see if I can gain a little more up travel from my kit.

 

Wait, TC recommends not using superbumps? Hmm
