What is the application?

Airbags typically ride really nice, and aren’t stiff or harsh. Hydraulics on the other hand are usually very stiff and are typically what you see on cars bouncing down the road. Those too can ride really nicely with the use of accumulators in the system but not everyone runs large ones, most run...

Most people with cooling issues derived from a lack of shrouding, and less from the actual size of the cooler. Factory vehicles have a massive sheetmetal wall in the front of the car that blocks all airflow around the radiator, with an opening in front of the radiator for air to pass through the...

Juberas truck is a unicorn that somehow magically eat moon bumps like they are mall speed bumps, definitely don’t base your build and decision making for one small section of a very specific race course haha. In reality, he has just the right wheelbase, rear chassis weight, up travel...

The main points of beams have been hit on already but I’ll provide some feedback on the kingpin stuff. Kingpins got a bad reputation in the 1450 hay days because a lot of guys went to billet beams and just ran a simple bolt to locate/lock the kingpin from spinning. There is a problem with that...

It’s not the 5” but it’s similar to what I have on my 66 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/778377705064722/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Basically what everyone said above. you NEED leverage on these shocks for them to work properly on a higher speed application and for spring rate purposes. Those two literally go hand in hand with eachother because the leverage allows you to run high enough spring rates to actually push the...

I am probably not helping at all here, but have you considered having the wheels stripped and polished? Or maybe even having OMF convert them to beadlocks or simulated beadlocks? Those are cool wheels but i do agree that the coating on them makes them look cheap. For one of my builds i sourced...

Those shock shafts are pitted/corroded, you can replace the shafts or hit them with a razor blade to knock the flakes off, use a small, fine file to deburr them, and wet sand/polish theme stuff out with some 1000-1,500 grit sand paper to make them less likely to tear seals. Those leaf springs...

This is in an explorer, i can’t remember who’s though

What links are you running? They look like some plank/newline/si ranger links. Looks good!

The best thing you can do for drone is get the exhaust to not dump under the cab. The sound waves bounce up and down between the cab and the ground which causes that deafening drone sound. I would do some side exits or out the top or back of the truck somehow if you can. Also, ironically enough...

That is 100% a custom deal. I have piles of those o rings if you need two, I’m located in Fullerton. The correct O ring is the larger one, most commonly found in Saw King and Fox kits. Someone must have made their own IFP pistons in those guys

Small world! That guys name is Shane, i used to work with him at Giant Motorsports many years ago. I’m unsure of where he works now but he’s been chipping away at that expo the past few months lol

I’m planing on using these squirters when i finally refocus back in my turd. I’ve seen a few guys use these ones and they like them a lot. https://a.co/d/6ptj4jG
