Long Travel BS Thread

Lol wrong post, haha my buddys gonna pick those up. I was gonna post the link to a Giant 64" kit for $1400 of RDC

 

No bumps.

I cant feel it ever bottoming out... Ill get a vid as soon as I can

 

The key to getting more travel is wider arms like TC is 3.5 over per side so with out the wider track width from the longer arms there would be no travel gains

 

wont that require a engine cage?

 

True but couldnt you go crazy and have a center pivot point? like that pic matt posted earlier? would that essentially be the smarter way to do it? granted way more expensive and prob would have to relocate the engine huh?

 

How about some Australian desert racing for your Thursday afternoon viewing pleasure....in a Jimco Class 10 chassis with an 850HP Twin Turbo'd Toyota motor Enjoy friends

I don't think anything requires an engine cage. It would be custom coil buckets at most but I'm not sure what size shocks camburgs race kit will run so I guess we have to wait and see unless RJ knows...do you?

 

If it's anything like the 1st Gen Race kit, the arms bolt onto a stock location, the stock coilbucket can be used w/ a standard 8" C/O, but to really use it to it's full potential a 12" C/O mounted off an engine cage is probably ideal

 

Yes I am getting an engine cage but no you don't need one

 

Yeah but how many weekend warriors/ daily drivers do you see center linked lol

 

what size shocks you gonna run?

 

Haven't decided yet

 

^ baller status hahha.

 

oh yeah im not trying to argue either. no pissing match here

Actually, im all ears if you want to elaborate more on your theory about rebound and Leaf Spring suspension. Im just posting the information that Ive come across the last couple years.

 

Mark when are you free? Maybe we can hit up the desert and do some tuning to my rear setup.

 

Aaron's barstow/lucerne run in March

 

if you are running a race kit you should cage/gusset the fuck out of everything on your truck. just cuz you dont "need" one in order to bolt on the shocks and drive down the road doesn't mean you don't NEED one...

 

nah they are only like 8 months old

I'll get some in a bit...I forgot to mention it is really one of the square brackets holding the spring pack together that is rubbing against the shackle...and only when it compresses. Going out to take a few pics right meow

 

so when the spring compresses, shackle goes backwards and the square bracket thing rubs on the shackle mount..I guess I didn't explain it right in my original post
