Long Travel Suspension

Hows is it??? Is it worth puttig on or should I stick with stock?

Whats stock? P2?


P2 is nice for all aroun everything. you put the LTs on and if you move the mounting spot for the push rods front and rear on your truck, so it stis sky high...forget about road running. lol

roll over hazard.

LT is good for all out offroad, hill type jumping.

wouldnt take it off of a ramp with LT suspension. P2 is great.

P1's are on the 2.5R, P2's are on the 3.3.

I prefer the P3's with 30 weight and blue springs... It bottoms out too easy with P2's for my taste. Even with 50 weight and silver springs all around. P1's were completely useless to me.

The P3's with the appropriate P3 push rods works great for the bashing/jumping I do. I have a BB kit on mine, so it probably weighs a bit more than the 3.3.

I tried the LT set up once, it was way to soft IMO. I didn't even run a full tank with it, I liked the p2 on my 3.3 revo.

My bash set up is 50w oil and purple in the rear and blue in the fron on p2s. It is pretty firm and is great for bashing, and beings its my bash setup I'm running the pushrods in the top hole, so it sits just high enough. I ran longtravle for like 4 months and after puting p2's on I'm never looking back. It just made it to top heavy.

I found that running it at the tallest setting with P2's made it prone to pop the pillow balls through the axle carriers and I also broke 4 or 5 shocks off. Ever since I dropped to the middle hole, I didn't have a problem for a long time with either of those issues.

Running the P3's, I still keep the middle hole.

This is with RPM arms and carriers. With stock carriers, I kept busting them. With the RPM carriers, the pillow ball would pop through, but wouldn't break it.

I havent had any issues yet so when i do ill go back.

I run 120mm LT on mine. I love the articulation for climbing over most anything. When I first started jumping, the stock spring/oil combo was inadequate and my truck weighs a little over 10lbs. Compensation was made with purple springs/70w in rear & pink/60w in front, #3 pistons on all (4) as well as upgrades to MIP HA shock bodies w/ nitride shafts. The pushrods are located in the middle hole so the pillowballs won't pop out of the RPM carriers (RPM expresses the specific use of pushrod location for their carriers). Jumps well, handles predictably (for a basher) and has terrific arm motion.

When I decide to conduct some racing, I will experiment with various homemade swaybar augments on the LT suspension (to tame roll) and if satisfactory results are not conclusive, then I will swap to the P2 setup.
