Long Travel BS Thread

Solo said they got my truck aligned at a shop but man I can’t help but feel like I shouldn’t have positive camber... especially on the passenger side

 

Why don’t you ask them for the print out the shop gave them?

 

Doesn’t look too bad, sometimes uneven ground will do that but you also have a ton of adjustment left in those cams to move that LCA out so I wouldn’t sweat it

 

I was against buying a used off road truck but the situation I was put in didn't really help. I was just extremely lucky that my truck now was up for sale and followed it from the beginning of the build pretty much.cost me a lot less than it would have been to redo my last build that I got screwed on from fab work. But I came out on top I'd say

 

Not gonna lie, an LT first gen has been a dream of mine from the moment I saw your cement monster in this thread.

 

Bad ass truck

And that thing never even saw dirt..... Right Mac ?

 

Correct sir. Next season it'll be used since it'll be where I wanted it

Lol thanks man

 

Did you back it into that spot? Sometimes that will pull the camber in.

 

Very little about this place is practical

 

Anyone running 14” coilovers, short course style in the rear? Trying to get a baseline for spring rates

 

I’d get a firestone lifetime alignment, it’s like maybe $150 and you can go back to any firestone and get alignment everyday if you wanted for $0.00 as long as you have the truck.

I’ve like the one off of el toro and the 5. They’ve have no problem aligning my truck and also seen other LT trucks there too.

 

Negative, the fine print says every 6 months or 6,000 miles

 

Huh. I explicitly asked a manager, and have had no problem for two years.

I went in to the same one on a Friday, bashed in ocotillo wells all weekend, and then went back Monday. Didn’t even clean the dust off the truck, and they had no problem doing it.

Guess it may depend on the firestone

 

Yeah you might have got a cool place

 

I've never had an issue at multiple Firestones. If they will take a modified truck, they are already bending the "rules" and every place I talk to knows my truck will hit the trails and come back the next week.

 

What are you all doing as a safety device when you relocate your battery? I was thinking of finding a circuit breaker or switch that will serve the purpose if a short occurs. Most breakers I see will run a 150-175 constant draw but a winch will draw 400ish AMPs under max load.

 

I use a blue sea switch for my winch. No issues.

 

Was leaning towards something like this.

$45 Blue Sea Systems 9001E e-Series Battery Switch, Selector 4 Position, Red

https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Battery-Switches/dp/B000K2MCR2?th=1

Did you relocate your battery or are you just running the switch as a precaution?

 

I have the same one in on-off. It’s just as a precaution, but it handles the load even on hard pulls. They make an HD one as well.

 

Says 350A continuous and 600A intermittent. Warn claims that their Zeon 10 draws 410A at max load so this should work great.
