Long Travel BS Thread

Doors are identical from 1995-2004 regardless of cab type. There are zero difference whatsoever in reference to the bare door shell power or manual.

 

Yes Tyler @BartMaster1234 confirms it. Funny - I updated the door cards in my 98 to 01-04 and found even number of automatics and manuals, but usually it's harder to find what you're looking for when you're in a pinch - Murphy's law.

Thnx - I was 99% but didn't want to pass out bunk info Tyler!

 

I’m about to buy bumps for the rear I have a dmz kit I’m about to install what do you guys recommend a 2x2 or 2x4 bump stops

 

lmao at hump stop

 

2x2

 

2x2, I bought 2x4 and ended up shortening them to 2” anyways.

 

I pulled the trigger on a new set of Deaver H70's today. Hopefully the last time I'll spend money on leaf springs. I had a set of Engage (I think) that kept breaking. i was having a local spring shop replace them as they broke. At $400 a shot I should have went Deaver long time ago.

 

Interested to see what they look like for ride height. E30’s on my truck don’t seem to hold up once the cage, two spares, and a jack are loaded but I might just be higher than I need to be up front - couple weeks away from driving the truck so we’ll see but I’m only at around 6.5” up travel.

 

Anyone heard of Dusty Motorsports?

I picked this up from a guy off FB n turns out it was a side business he is part of. Had a nice 5 lug he was in the process of doing full cage and 3 link.
it's 53" wide, truss, 4.10s and Elocker

 

I’ve looked at their intercom systems but no more experience than that.

 

Anyone rotate fox top caps before? Running into clearance issues and realizing the top cap on one of the bypasses is different from the other causing most my issues as one bypass works on both sides and one doesn’t work on neither.

 

I was told their intercoms n radios are the same as rugged just with their specs

 

Yeah, it's easy. Release the nitrogen pressure from the shock and loosen the allen bolts on the top hat a bit. Might not be a bad idea to throw some blue loctite on them once you have the body cap oriented the way you desire.

 

HUH? That's not right. There are no allen bolts holding the top hat on.

 

Maybe not on those after looking at how old they are. The newer stuff has a rotatable body cap with allen bolts.

 

good deal there, looks fun. What u gonna do with the 6 lug rear after slapping that together?

 

these do. Two allen head bolts on top.
Hard to see with the mount btu I’ll post a better picture later.

thanks. See if I can get them to rotate today.

 

Yup, those be them. I've heard people do it without releasing the nitrogen but the shock will be pressurized so it may be difficult. If it were me, I'd probably reduce the nitrogen pressure a bit but not completely to retain the seal. Keep us posted!

 

Already let the nitrogen out so I could set them and cycle suspension so no big deal

 

Not gonna happen ever
