San Diego BS Thread.

LeadNav puts all the others to shame. It's a professional app. Off road racers use it.

@thebeeler what is the difference between the

$110 Dual XGPS150A Multipurpose Portable Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver | Wide Area Augmentation System, Black

Dual XGPS150A and xps160a. From LeadNav website seems like either works just the 160 is the newest version.

 

Reviews on Amazon actually were better for the 150 than the 160. The 160 is almost twice the price of 150. Seems like a no-brainer but I don't want to get the cheaper one if it isn't as good.

 

Thank you!!

Thanks again, stoked on your guys support!

I havent tried to fit a bypass in there but if it will clear tires and frame, I vote for bypass!

 

Solid. And keep that little guy on airplane mode while in use in the wild. I also suggest getting a car charger greater than 5.0v. Those cheapy 7-11/gas station chargers won't keep up with the iPad power demand. I bought a powerful charger at best buy for about 20 duckets.

 

Of course you do. Haha. What would be the primary benefit of a triple vs a twin tube? I don't know if they make a triple in a 2.0 but I found twins in that size. Would it make a huge difference if I'm not a dedicated desert truck?

 

As far as I know (which is limited) the more tubes, the more areas of adjustment you have. To where you can tune the initial part of the stroke vs the later part of the stroke.

 

Agreed with both the information and the limited amount of knowledge. If I had a twin I could tune lower and upper as opposed to lower, mod, and upper.

 

You could get a bypass to fit. Need to run 1.5" or 2.0" wheel spacer. The difference in the 2 and 3 tube is tuning your bump zone. You use a 3rd tube like tuning a bump stop.

 

Ah yes! That's the aspect I was missing. Thanks Mike

Also Shane, BAMF recommends 3.5" BS to clear a King 2.0 smooth body.
Your wheels have 4.3" BS which means you'll need at least a .8" spacer. Probably be best to go 1.00" or 1.25" and have room to spare. You'll have a wide stance though.

 

Could also have the tubes layed out like option 2. Then you can tuck the tire in and just do 2 tubes. Bypasses are typically made to order.

 

Looks like we got some good info above, but as said, its basically a shock that has multiple adjustment zones based on stroke. 2 bypasses breaks it into 2 adjustment zones (roughly first half and last half, stroke wise) and 3 bypass breaks it up into 3rds where the 3rd circuit as stated by Mad Mike, can be tuned really tight as to act as an internal bumpstop.

So no matter what its just badass! But that being said 90% of the trucks I build dont run bypasses, but its because I have been doing primarily overland builds as opposed to Go-Fast desert stuff.
However, they are still a great upgrade even if you aren't flogging the truck like you stole it. As long as it doesnt kill your wallet!

 

Ordering a full suspension kit tomorrow. Have no interest in installing myself. Any suggestions for shop where I can get it installed preferably in the north county/Carlsbad area?

 

@Speed Freek (the guy who posted above) is your man for the North County area. All the members on this forum will vouch for him.

 

^ What he said.
+1 for Jason ( @Speed Freek )

 

@Speed Freek is the guy you're looking for.

 

I am going for more of the "overland" setup with my truck as opposed to high speed desert stuff, but with that said the idea of having the ability to adjust the shock in different zones is appealing. Ideally I would like to be able to go unload the truck and do a medium speed over some open terrain. (in a perfect world)

That's kind of the appealing part of a 2.0. I would never overheat a shock with my use.

 

Stupid question, what direction does the bolt of the axle go? I'm thinking option "2" would put the tubes toward the front of the truck. I don't see 3 tubes fitting. Two would work if they were on the outside of the frame.

 

We have had many customers use @Speed Freek to install the items that they purchased from us and everyone has been really happy with him and the work he does.

 

Team work!! That is what it is all about

 

Nothing wrong with smooth bodies and a good leaf setup. Valving is key, not just turning tubes.
