Long Travel BS Thread

Engage initially has a 700 lb spring on..but I asked for a 600 lb spring after my bro-by-law installed 600 lb on his dub cab (no spindles)..

But in a few months I'm going to jump down to 500 (cus I has a spindle)..and bypasses..

 

I suggest PM'ing Eddie (Special K) & Mike @ Defined and see what they say about valving for the rear

I'd call Camburg (I think that's what you said your running) & SDHQ see what they say for the front.

That'd be a good starting point and then you can learn from there!

 

I have 500 lb springs on and always have with spindles and before and have always loved the ride.

 

Yes sir! That was the plan.

Cant wait to learn. Its gotta be awesome having the capability of tuning right then and there..

Or does it become one of those things where you have to tune for each trip you go on?

I wanted to tune for barstow originally.. That place is crazy

 

You're going to need a Nitrogen setup and a bunch of stacks of valves if you plan to do yourself

I'd start by learning how to rebuild shocks first, if you don't know already

You generally don't have to tune each time, not for the speeds and stuff you'd most likely be running!

 

my little secret..anytime you have valving questions hit up the manufacturer..tell them exactly what you have all the way down to fuel cell location, how many spares, caged or not, ect.. these company's spent tons of money and time learning this shit...why not get the info directly from the ones who know best. i sent an email to fox and the next day had a valve recommendation for every shock i have. will it be perfect..no...but its going to be damn close and will save you a lot of time and headaches

 

That's a good idea! Thanks Adam!

 

yes sir

 

Oh really..good to know..now I don't feel like I'm jumping blind..

Thanks brotha!!

 

No problem

 

says who ...been working just fine

 

oh damn, does this mean you rubbed your junk all over Matt's bumper?

 

yes...yes it does

 

I made him wear a Jimmy hat while working on mine she's a slut but not a dirty one

 

dirty sluts are the best though..

 

and everyone gives him shit for being young and dumb...seems fucking brilliant to me

 

She's only dirty with me...oh young pup, the ones that are just dirty sluts are fun but give gifts that keep on giving long after they're gone. But the ones that seem quite and just a lil slutty till u start dating then turn out to filthy lil batches are the best ones! I have had both and love when ur surprised by a freak in da sheets. My 2 cents, I'm married and kid like a week or two away...so I don't know shit anymore

 

young, dumb, and..... Knowledgeable about dirty sluts

 

this is also sig worthy...
