Long Travel BS Thread

My problem wasn't the cam having room to wiggle, it would actually spin between the tc gussets even when torqued to spec. Having heimed uppers I'm not concerned about welding the lower cams in place and its been amazing for the last year and a half not having to get an alignment every time I take the truck out.

 

Is there a running thread for people with Camburg long travel where I can pepper my similarly built counterparts with questions?

 

Finally joined the family with bypasses.

 

I have camburg

 

I do as well, and all the above mentioned gussets are on my list of what to do next.
+ a set of @solid_offroad (Instagram) motor and trans solid mounts.

 

I mean this is the ltbs thread...

 

huh, you don't rub the resi with it being a piggy back?

 

I’m running a Camburg set up with spindle gussets cam tab and coil bucket gussets all from total chaos I’m going to reinforce the actual lower control arm mounts next as a few of my friends have cracked theirs

 

Man I’m glad I saw this post I picked up that kit for 1450

 

Yeah. Old versions had that problem. I know for fact that the design flaw has been fixed at least for over a year now.

 

Well considering it just meant their jig wasn't square it should have been fixed immediately

 

did you do the double shear for the UCA before the dual shock hoop?

 

@atvlifestyle had a rearend housing from them about a year ago and it was somewhat out of spec so idk what happened with their parts fab. Recently I got one that (reportedly by the machine shop I had install snouts) was closer.

 

Pretty sad if they're losing their quality control. Shouldn't take that long to double check measurements and make sure it's right the first time. Especially for a shop their size.

 

Well, just had to drop a chunk of cash on the driveshaft and wheel bearings so that SUA budget takes the hit. In my quest for good geometry and make my archive hangers/4.9” shackle work with the H70 pack from deaver, I’d like to discuss the front spring hangers. In most of the SUA kits I’ve looked at, the front hanger is also replaced/relocated. Any one know why this is? It doesn’t appear to relocated far from stock locations, perhaps a bit downward?

 

The springs are longer than stock springs so you have to keep your axle located in the correct spot.

 

Or you could buy my DMZ kit that has proven results that it will work properly. Rather than try to frank Einstein something with hopes of "good geometry" wasting both time and money.

Fyi the H70 will be too long for the stock spring hangers.

 

That makes sense, thanks. The front will always be the reference point from the frame to axle.

Yeah, I’ve seen them advertised as both a 61 1/2” and 62” spring. So that kills the idea of budget SUA. Getting a full kit isn’t feasible right now. So I’m probably just gonna have to wait awhile until I can afford a kit. Thought it better to do my research to see if there was anyway to shortcut the rear, but doesn’t look like it.

 

The amount a new H70 pack and archive hangers cost already put you close to the cost of the DMZ kit hangers and leafs. The rest of the stuff, shocks, spring perches,limit straps, shock tabs, u bolt plates etc will cost the same either way.

 

I already have the hangers installed, have been for over year. I was trying to figure out if they could be salvaged for this build. Not buying new hangers.
