Long Travel BS Thread

No the guy selling it is the one who built it. He is or was the owner of an al and Ed's audio near me.

 

really... drop down bracket on the front with longtravel arms?! seriously?!

 

How else do you expect to pull bitchzz

 

Just dropped drive line off at drive line place should be done tomorrow

 

the al and Ed's ranger is sick.. How the hell did they go from that to that

 

Dude db lift combined with lt= the business

 

I'm ready to pull the trigger on a sua. What leafs are best and accessories will I need?

I'm ready to buy now if anyone has some spare parts.

Longer shackles, 5 inch lift springs and hangers relocated. Seems pretty straight forward. I am looking for a stock or slightly lower stance so I can lower my front 2 inches.

Sorry for asking again but I was getting a lot of info from a few people but the end result was to stay soa with better springs and shocks.

Also getting it all straight sounds like an issue. Would going to the truck shop be in my best interest?

 

how much weight will you have in the back? are you getting 12 inch shackles and mounting them above the frame?

 

So are you going SUA or SOA

 

I do not want to be soa anymore, I'm looking to go sua ASAP.

Only weight I have is a spare tire carrier.

I will do 12 inch shocks soon and I'm going outside the frame in the wheel well.

 

Well you can't run 12" shocks with a SUA, well you can but it will defeat a majority of the purpose.

No/little weight = Deaver F67's

If you want to run shocks outboard you're going to need to swap in a Tundra or T100 Axle (your stock axle isn't wide enough without a, approximating here, 3"+ spacers).

 

Ok so 16 inch inside the bed with a frame using my current axle?

 

Bingo

 

I'm looking to keep it under $1500 but that's not going to happen.

Cheapest I can find f67 is $650
Other small stuff is no big deal but the Frame and 16 shocks is going to kill me.

 

gay......lol jk man! excited for it to be done?

 

The front is pretty much done... Taking all the hoops out, everything, and painting it tomorrow

 

CL, DR, and RDC are your friends for used shocks. Don't buy new, its really not worth it unless your a baller. Used bypasses go for $800-1000, smoothies for $300-500. I'm not sure how much a rebuild is but it cant be more than $50-100 per shock right?
Also if they do need a rebuild I'm sure you can buy them cheaper too
edit: used bypasses for 750, although they really look like Devin's old ones..
