Brenthel long travel install

[ntm]

Making progress slowly but surely.

Geoff said the stock bumpstops are fine, as the bypass is unique in that it has some pretty damn stiff valving in the bump zone. I don't doubt it would have been fine, but I had air bumps here already, so built some mounts for them.

I've been excited about seeing this come to fruition for a really long time NTM, fun watching the progress and thanks for sharing.

Added some bedside supports to the giant motorsports bedcage. No way to triangulate them, as I want to be able to fit my kayaks down the center of the bed still.
They're pretty stiff like that though.
Next is some tie down points on the cage for the spare, and shortening the air bumps from 4" stroke to 2.5" stroke.

This truck is insane. Alternatively, race-desert could have probably provided you a race-ready rig for the money you've sunk into this thing. However, this is ******* cool.

Yeah but where would the kayaks go?

If I had the skillset and the tools I would have loved to do something like this instead of the through the bed setup I'm going with.

Hell, I don't have a skill set, just a hammer, tape measure, sawzall, grinder, and a buddy that can weld !

On a side note, I'm learning to weld, on some of the non critical components on the truck. I recommend learning on someone else's truck before you attack your own,

 

[Jimbo]

in that case... @RLTW I'll weld your shit together.

hahaha, my buddy troy/holeshot is doing the welding for me. And then it will continue to sit in the garage.
