Long Travel BS Thread

fixed for now

 

im down. but i hate the damm stinkbug look on my truck

 

the "mini cage" pics as requested
gonna paint it up better tomorow. also angled the resi down so i can put 2 spares in. but ill load up another pic when thats all done hopefully tomorow.

 

Wouldnt shock hoops have served you better? That way you would still have bed space, or do the 1st gen shocks have to mount under the bed?

 

under the bed. and shocks could have probulay squeezed under bed if i put them at a crazy angle. but the mini cage got them straight up and down and it looks pretty cool

 

Oh alright, gotcha, yeah does look pretty nice

 

thankyou gonna paint it up and then put my tire carrier back in. should look awesome with everything mounted up

 

same shit happened to me, my whole driver side wheel well is bent and doesnt line up with the hood anymore

 

Ya my passenger side if most definitely getting there. I'll have to do some major comsetic work to try to line things back up, unlikely but needs to be attempted

 

Ollie you already know the solution

 

Ya ya maybe ill do that. Smashed up my glass a little anyhow so it sounds like a reasonable option Patrick lol

 

Not too much up travel... Too much sheet metal

 

x2.. Thats why i dont have any

 

Me niether

 

Can you guys post pics of your sheetmetalless fender wells please

 

X2

 

this may sound stupid and IDK how it would work on thicker material but I have used dry ice to remove dents from sheet metal. I have no idea if it would work on a header though

Side note as well...does anyone recommend/has anyone just welded their cams to the frame once they got a good alignment?

 

You can't pull dents out of header tubes. The wall thickness won't allow it. If the dent is on a straight section of tube near a flange before any bending, you might be able to shove a piece of thick wall tube inside and push some of it out. Whether or not the ceramic coating survives you'll have to wait and see. You can get always get it re-coated if it's that important to you.

People do that all the time. You're going to need heims on your uppers or lowers to adjust your alignment afterwards.

 

X3 my UCAs are always hitting the top of the inner fenders
