UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

If you're going to go bypass, optimizing the dampening control should be priority. If you want to optimize the travel, go with a smooth body and send it. There's no point in spending them money on a bypass if you're not going to use all of the zone control.

I'd be interested in your old Kings if you're willing to ship.

 

It's a little ways from mine up by fashion place, but on a labor day friday, I should be ok. I'll shoot you a PM. @RyanL you want in on this?

 

This is too generic of a statement IMO. I would say it depends on the type of terrain being traversed, driving style of the user, and the type of shock.

If you're comparing a OE fitment shock to a relocated shock then I can agree with your statement. If you're comparing the differnce between 2" of usable travel then most people will likely not even notice the difference. If you're comparing a bypass in a relocation, 12" vs 14", then the zoning becomes the big concern and I would recommend setting the zones up correctly over gaining 2" of travel. A bypass won't benefit you if you're not utilizing the zones properly.

 

Found red iguana last time I was here, epic is all I can say. I tell everyone who comes here about it.

 

You guys twisted my arm

 

I love that place! Gut bomb for dayzz
I have lunch plans tomorrow but let me know another time, it’s a stone’s throw from my office.

 

Yasssss
Post food pics so I can drool on my keyboard

 

Get the fried ice cream..........

 

Had to look that up....wow

 

Ask and ye shall receive

 

stop. i didn't have lunch today and youre here posting delicious pics!?

 

I didn't have breakfast...does that make it better? Also, it was asked that I do.

 

Going in...

Sorry @Technique

 

Me neither. Killin me over here

 

Lol, I'm probably going to try to get out of town early tomorrow. We can do a day next week?

 

We'll figure out a day. Ryan still owes me a trip to Lone Star. Next week is pretty crazy for me, but maybe the week after.

 

I agree. What I was getting at is in my experience a relocated 14” shock (assuming 14” of travel is used) no matter how tuned it is will function better than an 8” shock in the factory location regardless of tuning.

Now a 14” bypass that isn’t properly setup vs a 14” smoothie that is also not properly valved, yeah you won’t tell the difference.

 

How was the ice cream? I might go there for lunch tomorrow to satisfy my cravings now lol

 

So good but I needed a few extra people to finish it
