I thought it was the other way around, short skinny pipes is good for torque and towing, and long fatter pipes was good for high end speed and horsepower???
I was curious if you all could make a custom set of shocks. I really like the four way adjustable dominators you offer but looking for one set with the following with two eyelets: STROKE (IN): 9.252 GAS PRESSURE (PSI): 200.000 EXT LENGTH (IN): 26.223 COMP LENGTH (IN): 16.971 Second set with the following one stud on top one eyelet on bottom: STROKE (IN): 5.464 GAS PRESSURE (PSI): 200.000 EXT LENGTH (IN): 16.772 COMP LENGTH (IN): 11.308 I’ve also been wondering about how to deal with axel wrap and watched your videos about increasing the second team to the center of the eyelet and really like the idea of the slide and comaro shackles but was wondering if there would be an even more intriguing combination of shackle that would be able to allow the bottom of the comaro shackle to slide in an ark as limiting the rear slide of the top of the shackle at the same time preventing the bottom of the shackle from ever snapping forward? Maybe there could be a rear traction bar assembly in the opposite geometry coming from the rear of the cross frame attaching to the top of the axle so there would not be any risk of losing ground clearance and using a bump stop to prevent it from ever coming to far into the bed or body of the vehicle?
Our advertised lengths of our 4-way shocks are all that we can offer at this time. Refer to Page 15 in our catalog for dimensions. As for the reset, we don't have anything to offer. You can always call us if email doesn't work. 800-632-2320
Great info, thanks guys. I’ve got a question though. If you lengthen the upper and lower control arms on a double wishbone front suspension but keep the shock mounting point the same, is there any adverse effects? If your shocks are vertical before should you be angling them out if you lengthen the arms?
If there is enough flow larger will not help high rpm power and will hurt low end I'm not sure about the shorter If savaging is more effective at high rpm with shorter headers then ok but other wise it should not make a difference
I could tell that Rex's mind was going into overdrive. On things he could do, in order to the shocks, so they will do more. Of what he wants them to do...
For the style of shocks they use today. If I was traveling any distance. I would be either have older shocks on for the ride. Or as I have seen on sprint cars. Rods with eyelets on them to fasten in place of the shocks for the ride to the track. Yes, I know that they made air bag ride systems that go under the car. To air up and keep the car from oscillating up and down in the trailer. My deal is not everyone is going to want to spend money on something like an air bag system for transport. Which my thinking is proving actual ways of addressing. By using items they possibly already have available to them... Now I would use the WD40 to clean the shock off before I did any adjustments. Then use actually lubricant on the heims.
I believe AFCO Might be the right choice for the Pro mod Diesel truck build for Po Boys Diesel RU-vid Channel Ive been following along for some time now and I have been weighing out the benefits of AFCO's technology. Lets see what the future holds. Great job on the Videos and the products!
Just getting into the sport now and I am loving putting the car together! Everything is pretty simple as a beginner, but I can see how things can get more and more technical when trying to find time on the track.
I purchased a set of 3850BG T2 rear shock back in 2013. I literally had 2 runs at the track and life happens so I had to put the truck on the back burner. I pulled the shocks off and have had them sitting with the springs still on them till now. My question is would they still be ok or would sitting there affect there performance. The reason I ask is because with them full tight on the compression one Im barely able to compress it by hand (springs removed) and it feels good. The other one doesn't feel the same it compresses a whole lot easier. I've heard before you can't really tell anything that way. I just figure it it's moving that way by hand it definitely going to be softer installed under power with transbrake and slicks.Just curious what you guys think. Can I get them rebuilt or do I just wait til I run the truck before I do anything? Thank you
whats the measurements? We need an Acura Integra full rad with the upper and lower hose inlet/outlets moved to the driver's side instead of the passenger side.
Finally someone made one actually look like a sprinter or midget, Quarter midgets have ALWAYS looked like ugly garage built after thoughts. Something always just didn’t look right no matter what brand. 👍 nice job Stanley!
