Long Travel BS Thread

3 tube bypass. and whats really the difference between the remote resi and piggyback resi?

 

On a remote resi the oil reservoir is attached using a hose where a piggyback its attached to the shock body.

 

They perform the same just a matter of room

 

ahh okay thats what i was wondering. thanks

 

It took almost 2 Cans just for that fender. Will prob take almost a whole can of clear coat

I bought my kings on DR for $1000. They were brand new 2.5x16 triple bypass. Wait for a good deal on DR or RDC. You'll save alot of money. 16" shocks pop up for sale all the time

 

thats what i was thinking. after the superstition meet ill be saving my pennies for the shocks. then once i do that, im going o get the cage done. after that, ill get a SUA kit. BUT i was at pismo friday and justin yagar and his other toyota friend was there and his leaf kit (which was SUA) was only 3 leafs. So might go that route but i have to ask him how he set that all up.

 

I have been trying to keep my eyes open for some 2.5x10 coilovers but no luck so far.

 

Incorrect, a bottom mount piggyback will perform better, It will have more bottoming resistance and have less cavitation, but for you're average play truck you probably won't notice it much

 

What brand, price? ill look out for ya.

 

Cool learn something new!

Trying to stay with King or Fox. Trying to stay around the 600 price range but thats not always easy.

 

Someone tryed to steal my spare tire last night! Good thing i had it locked to the bedcage haha. Some people just have no lives!

 

How could you tell? Noise? I would fuck some shit up if i caught someone trying to steal my spare

 

I heard a truck last night out front but I thought it was my neighbor and went back to bed. I went to go move my truck and the tire was unstrapped and pull toward the rear of the bed like someone yanked on it. Next time i hear something like that again im pulling out the 9mm

 

X2 got mine for 900 on DR

 

Work im getting done to the front before barstow trip:
Getting shock towers built to fit king 12" coilovers
Glassworks 6.5 flare or fiberwerx 6 flare
King shorty air bumps

 

nice rob, that's a good little list

 

Dayum, and its not like spare tires are cheap fckin hate theives..
