I also found out the Farmers,ya I know, offer comp and collision insurance on a towed (trailer) vehicle also. No more total losses alongside the road for me!

how its sitting with the front arms straight across.. is that how it sits all the time? or can you adjust it to sit higher?
Title: Re: DAMN! Pics Make Crap Look Good.
Post by: fabr on April 24, 2011, 08:48:49 PM
that's 50% droop. Change spring rates and you change droop.
Title: Re: DAMN! Pics Make Crap Look Good.
Post by: Voodoochikin04 on April 24, 2011, 08:53:10 PM
ok gotcha..  is 50% droop standard on long travel cars? if i did 50% on mine, i wouldnt have squat ofr clearance lol.

40-50% is fairly standard stuff. I MAY adjust it to 40% after LS.

I like 30% - 35% but that's me.
Title: Re: DAMN! Pics Make Crap Look Good.
Post by: fabr on April 25, 2011, 12:21:43 PM
For dunes I'd have to agree that a bit more ground clearance is nice but for hardpack I like a bit less. In the end it's a personal preference,no right,no wrong thing. Almost!

As long as you dont belly flop your good.  Fabr you know these big wheel travel guys like it to droooop down so far damn spindle are touching.  rofl rofl 

I'm starting to like it too,  :-X :-X
Title: Re: DAMN! Pics Make Crap Look Good.
Post by: LiveWire on April 25, 2011, 01:46:38 PM
To me, it is not really about percentages, but what you want ride height at, how much up travel you want and everything else goes toward droop.

On the long travel kits I sell for the FL350, I offer two shock options. One gives more travel. All the extra travel is droop. So one is 1/3 droop and the other is 38.5%. I am working on a one off setup for someone now. He will have 63% droop, same ride height, same up travel, just a lot more droop.

Post by: fabr on April 25, 2011, 01:49:29 PM
+1 in that it all depends on end use.
Title: Re: DAMN! Pics Make Crap Look Good.
Post by: dsrace on April 25, 2011, 02:39:15 PM
yep end use is right . were and what you doing. on the hard pack at home I soften up for more droop but on the dunes I raise it for more gc.

I doubt it. I have a trunk in front of the passenger.
Title: Re: DAMN! Pics Make Crap Look Good.
Post by: Yummi on April 26, 2011, 08:17:14 AM
But the front storage does not make it go faster like a rear wing would.......  Have you not been paying attention?


BTW, while you are at it - lets get busy with the coffee can exhaust tip would ya? Time's a wastin......

Speaking of faster; yesterday I was at Post Office, there was a Ford Escort wagon with 3--7' rockets on the roof and it had a wing on the back of it.  There were Roswell stickers all over it and a 6' green alien in the passenger seat. 

The wing looked fast!!

I was in such shock I could not even take a pic.


And no I wasn't smoking or drinking, cause it was early and I was working.
