  1. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    I believe he gained no more than 1.5 from his previous set up. I need to get to the dealership and take some measurements so I have a more accurate understand of the resulting lift.
  2. Any 2020 Gladiator Owners Still Here?

    2020 that I picked up October 30th of 2019, 105,000 miles on it including racing in Baja MX. Had cam issues a few times and blew my rear in Baja (102,000 miles on that D44 4.56 ring gear...and smashing whoops at 60 mph. Been superchagred with Magnuson since 60k miles.

  3. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    I am running the fox IFP bumps, and an NOT using any bump spacer on the axle side. For sway bar I went the thickest in the rear and softest in the front.

  5. 3.6 Cam Self destruction

    Ah, then bank 1. Thanks for the clarification. The replacement engine was a complete engine from dealership. This time I saved the cam and 2 of the rockers/followers. When staring at the followers I can see how the spring loaded pin has become marked up where the high lift lobe rests on it...
  6. 3.6 Cam Self destruction

    Welp, I've officially consumed my 3rd intake cam along with cam followers. All 3 instances have been the passenger side, bank 2. First was at 58k and covered under warranty. Then I added the Magnuson Supercharger and my 2nd instance happened at 75k. I did a new motor and put the supercharger...
  7. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    here's a recent clip of the truck doing 60 in Landers at the famous Giant Rock - I have some other videos that cover parts of the race we completed back in April. Short story is we beat Raptors in the whoops, then blew the rear ring gear. So we won day 1, and finished the rest in the middle...
  8. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    The shocks are currently Inco 718 which is an aerospace superalloy, very strong and very hard. It is also highly corrosive resistant, in fact you wouldn't need to do anything to the ID bore. I am looking at making them out of 17-4 PH1025 as that is significantly easier to hone the final ID and...
  9. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    Shocks right now are looking to be 19.25in compresses and 32.25in extended - 13in stroke. I'm trying to get this to be 18.75in compressed and 31.75in extended - still 13in stroke, but make's it more compact which is great for the front end. (Rear doesn't really care). There is some mixed...
  10. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    I am considering offering them as a fully assembled shock or as an upgrade, but the upgrade only works if you are running Fox's -076 shocks in the rear (2.5 DSC). I'm roughly 6 months out from having that figured out as the next development print is currently being designed and wont start...
  11. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    They will be true 3.0 sized (2.75in piston) and have at least 8 general bypass zones which will allow for easier tuning of the shim stack. I'm working on a new piston design that also allows for a smaller packaing while stil having 13-14in of shaft travel. The first set I tested paired perfectly...
