Long Travel BS Thread

Lmao 173, it’s pretty easy to hit that number with a decent torque wrench.

 

Coulda sworn it was over 200. Mine only goes to like 150 either way. And never had an issue with my method lol

 

Thanks u guys. I'll make sure to pick up some anti seize and keep an eye on the wheel bearing

 

Maybe you saw the 235 and thought it was ft lb? That would make the most sense, that’s Nm though.

 

Long travel installed. Rocking the Bluetooth axles and tie rods for now

 

I still just loctite and ugga dugga lol

 

I just use my 1/2” impact and call it a day.

 

You guys are madmen, I’m a torque wrench nerd.

 

I torque the lca to spindle bolts, u bolts, and lug nuts. And that’s about it lol

 

If you use the crown and cotter pin why do you need loctite? They cotter pin prevents the but from spinning, even if it’s not to torque.

I personally use a torque wrench on this during assembly.

 

Before it cures i think it sorta counts

 

This is why you are one of my favorites… impact the shit out of it and move on!

 

I feel like I know the answer to this but just to be sure, but you’re not driving the truck like that, correct?

Assuming not due to the tie rod limitation but you need the outer cv assembly to hold the spindle together or you’ll have two pieces of one wheel bearing assembly.

 

Yall know that nut sets the preload of the hub bearing right???

 

It's just on the ground cuz I wanted to see the width of the kit, plus I'll be waiting for axles so might as well take it off the jack stands lol

 

Thats fair. You going to run those 2.0” with the kit or are you still waiting on shocks too?

 

As a nerd, call it lb/ft (pound force foot) and not ft/lb. Torque is measured in force per radius. The metric guys always have it right, and you’ll never see them call it meter newtons

 

I know you’re right but I can never remember which is correct and I don’t care enough to look it up each time.

 

For now yes, I'm too broke to afford 8" coilovers right now. Before KOH I'm looking to run some big boy bypasses too

 

1/2” impact and 1/2” impact aaaannnddd 1/2” impact…. Lmao. In all seriousness I actually use a 1/2” breaker bar but close enough…
