Long Travel BS Thread

Not wanting to convert to hiems yet ,not installing kit till december, but if i can do hiem at the same price of the of 160 ish ill do it. The lower ball joint already has the heim connection ready, but the ball joints are bad.

thanks eric, not too many first gen kits are for sale neither, this kit sat in a tire shop for like 3 years they said.

 

Some of us (me) want long travel... is it a pain for a 2nd gen? :\

whoahhh sassy. I dont spend time on here religiously like you do, sorry

 

Sassy? People still say that shit?

I'm not trying to be "sassy" those 2 threads are ur best bet at a good start to LT knowledge!

Basically the bottom line of LT is expensive, noisy, broken parts, down time, and shit load of fun at the end of the day

 

Are they going to do their 20% off cyber monday sale again? I need a deal on limit straps and clevis'

 

Yup...expensive, noisy, and high maintenance. I love mine. Those threads are legit check them out

 

I just did, very helpful...Oh and I'm absolutely okay with all of that ^^

 

Just an idea for next year... considering I will be making >$140k/yr as a PharmD.

That's about it for the main goodies. Critisism please? .... for rock crawlin and keepin all 4 wheels on the ground (for now).

Thanks

 

Awesome. Any idea what you want to go with?

 

I wonder what's gonna be onsale

 

Honestly, I thought the same thing about not going SUA in the rear but in all honest, pulling any where from 15-20" of travel in the rear is alot and almost more than any articulation you'd get from a SOA. So your best bet would be to go with the Defined kit as it doesn't hang as low in front of the axle like other SUA do

 

If its for rock crawling i would say your wasting your money upgrading ifs when it would make more sense to do a sas

 

Nope, no idea yet that's why I'm researching. I hear good things about total chaos and camburg... but we'll see

 

thanks man. just tryin to keep it a sick ass DD while keepin it a rock crawler. i still wanna go fast .

SAS seems like there's a lot more to it than buildin a sick ass LT (for somewhat pussy use)

 

thanks man

 

Do you really want to be that wide for rock crawling? If your going to be making that much money.. Mise well do it the better way. You can go fast with a nice sas 4 link.
