Thanks! Its been a long run... im still wiring today.... Than I need to adjust the ride height, do alignment again. Bleed brakes, build inner fender wells, strap battery better, tie shit off and a ton more but it the moves!
Truck got some use this weekend and did very well IMO.
I went on a 2 hour road trip and took it crawling all night saturday night. Than yesterday I drove home and took it to the sand pit down the road by my house to give it a "dezert test" or at least as close as I could get.
The rear is packing a bit but otherwide the suspentions feels very good. The only truck makes alot of jittery noises but I dont think I will be able to get rid of that...
Check out the pics and vids and let me know what you think!
Unfortunately I don't have a real dezert by me... but I did tune the shocks a little better yesterday. Tye front feels good. Its just the rear that I feel is packing. As of now I have the rebound tubes in complete bypass.... these whoops im hitting are pretty steep tho so I don't know how much to expect without doing links in the rear...
I was being facetious lol (come on out here to California )
I've seen good speed over whoops by leaf-sprung trucks. Just gotta keep playing with the shock tuning. If it's packing, my own still fairly-limited experience tells me you probably got too much rebound damping and/or maybe not enough compression damping.
Im guna run it like this this weekend. After that ill look into a revalve. I have my rebound tube all the way open on the rear bypass. So I think I need to have even less rebound. (So the tires drop out faster) Now I have to learn how to revalve these things...
So we broke some shit this weekend doing what you see in the video only a little faster... I wish I had the video of when it broke! 2013 09 22 14 43 42 785 - YouTube
