I can't remember what coils you're running now, EB's? Even with the dual shocks I'd imagine it bottomed pretty hard. Is this the direction you're going with the BII (or BIV or watever it is :icon_twisted:)?
It wasn't too bad. I'm sure I hit the bump stops. I'll have to give them a coat of paint the next time and it'll tell me if I have hit or not. Should give me an idea how hard it hit too. Not the complete direction. Kinda going for an all purpose do all kinda truck.

damn rights and again, cause i wanted a different angle, and more speed:thefinger:
And each time I got more and more air, so quit yer whining, it'll get better and better.

That's cool. That's one thing I did like about the TTB is its pretty versitile. I caught air a couple times when it was still under my truck. I wouldn't think of airing out my rig the way its set up now though. It'd probably tear the coil buckets off lol.

I'm not too worried about my coil buckets. but the shock hoops on the other hand. I need to get the engine cage put in, to tie them suckers together and keep them from collapsing onto themselves.

Bunch of other stuff needs to be reconfigured if I was to get serious about this direction. But I was just out having a bit of fun.

I cant remember if your running stock coil buckets or not, but if you are, they may be worth taking a look at. Ive folded both of mine now, and had to reinforce them.

Not stock and they are braced to the shock hoops. Just need to tie them together with an engine cage
