Long Travel BS Thread

I’ve got TC cam tab gussets and am going to be trying out these stop cams from Bison Offroad. Little less adjustment, but they won’t be able to rotate once installed.

 

Or you can just cut off all the LCA tabs and start over with new cam tabs that bolt in place when the alignment is done and the ability to move the lower almost 1 inch forward.
....

 

What are you getting for before and after caster numbers - is that set bolt for the cam something you guys added after getting the kit?

 

That’s beautiful. @Bubbles check this out

 

Man that is sooo nice. On my “eventually” List. Solves so many issues at once.

 

My previous caster numbers were in the 3.5-4.5....this setup I forgot to ask the guys that did the alignment but i'm in the 6* range right now when I did a quick check. Bear alignment in corona CA where I go does not have the high tech shit..its all old school and done right by guys that know exactly what they are doing. The set bolt is part of the kit. After you get the alignment done you drill it out and put the bolt in place to hold it.

 

If they came out with a kit for first gens I would have to seriously consider it. Looks perfect.

 

Maybe it’s just the pic but don’t you get bump steer with the tie rods flipped on top of the steering knuckle?

Also, with this kit do you have to drill the cam hole immediately to not lose alignment or can you drive it some to make sure it all feels 100%

 

That’s how lift spindles are.

 

You can drive without the cam bolts in. Its in there pretty tight with just the LCA thru bolts. I drove about 25 miles home after the alignment and the techs drove it a bunch of times before me to make sure it was all good. The cam bolts are to help with big hits out in the dirt.

As was said above with lift spindles the tie rods are on top. I have not noticed any difference from the stock spindle.

 

Anyone have experience with these by Poly and then fine tuned with their uppers?? Thinking about giving it a go

 

I hear good things about LT guys getting their alignment done by Bear. I had a friend that owned a tire n alignment shop. He wouldn't align my jeep or my LT

 

There's also this brand.

i have them and my alignment is beautiful. I also adjusted my upper heims on my race kit though. But i highly recommend them.

 

I just installed the Poly alignment tabs. I haven't had the alignment checked yet but during the install there was very little I had to move to get them into place. By steering wheel is pretty good with the only pull being the front tires and my wandering has decreased.

 

Does that shop touch heim uppers? I need aligment bad and don't have the time to do it myself.

 

TC cam tabs FTW BTW

 

i have mine set to neutral in front, max caster in rear and then i adjusted for slightly more caster with my upper heims before slipping the bolt in.

Alignment came back with 5.8* caster and ever so slightly negative camber and then they set my toe. Its perfect.

 

They will. May charge a little bit extra though. They charged me a bit over 100 bucks but he had to remove 2 of my LCA bolts to flip the cams over....something almost any other alignment would not ever do.

 

Would they get scared if I show up with these?
