Long Travel BS Thread

There's some rake to the rear but there's nothing in the bed or shock system yet and no miles on the springs so they'll come down a bit over time. Sorry about the lack of profile angle - can't move it since I am waiting to add brakes.

 

Brakes only slow you down. Truck looks like it wants to go see some dirt.

 

Lol. Grew up with those commercials... always thought that's how you are supposed to drive 'em

 

black coat white shoes black hat.... lol looking good man!

 

What size tires are on there?

 

Any one know what spring rate for a 2016 Elantra sport? 2.5”x8” king coil overs.

Thanks.

 

700’s for sure

 

I am going for ride quality, not max lift. I’m running 700’s on the truck and this thing has to be almost 2k lbs lighter. I was thinking 450’s or 500’s to maintain that 60/40 up/down travel ratio.

 

what length u need? I might have some

 

Nah wrc is cooler than overlanding.

 

lol it's a multi-cultural truck for sure.

33x11.5's

 

I take mine there. Try to get a slow day like mid week. They like to give you a one hour slot and definitely don't mind working on them.

 

Hey guys, tons of new names a few of same old ones I recognize

Anyways, I’m in a bind and wondering if anyone has or knows someone with a flat bed trailer I can borrow/RENT for a day or two. Need to take a Silverado back north. Long story!

And yes the yota is still being worked in and almost on its own weight... getting close!

Anyone in here who went to glass have a passenger side silver fender?

 

I personally don't have a trailer. Everyone I know either have their drift car stuck on it or doesn't let people borrow it(not even me‍♂️) Sorry

 

Maybe we all should all go in on a groupon or something together for one I'll keep it at my house lol

 

A guy near me is selling a used pair of 2.5 16” king triple bypasses for $900...is that a good price? And if so anything to look out for when buying these used?
Thanks

 

Bent shafts, leakage, dents, heavy rust, anything that looks like it probably shouldn’t absorb thousands of pounds of pressure with

 

Yes. The shafts shouldn't have any pitting and guys usually go for piggyback shocks out back but it's not bad - what style fitting is on the hoses pipe thread or an o-ring - o-ring ones are easier to clock where you want the hoses.

The bodies, hoses, and end caps look to be in good condition which is a good sign for the most part. See if they hold a nitrogen charge and let it out and see if the shafts move in and out smoothly (they'll get harder to push in because of the bypass tubes though).
