can i run 8 BB on my flux?

[rkgriffy]

Hey y'all. I was looking over my flux tonight just thinking of some things I can do to it and it came across to me that it looks like I can mount another set of bb on here..what ya think.I'm gonna be a basher for sure but still like some speed when I need it..don't think it would hurt?ideas and thoughts

well, you CAN do anything you want.


but, where the big bores were designed to be run as 4 shocks (not 8) and handle the weight of a 14# truck, it would be my guess that doubling up would affect the handling of the truck in a negative way.

again, this is just my guess because this idea has come up before but no one has actually done it.

if you want to give it a shot, i say go for it and let us know your findings; you can always take one of the set off and sell if it doesnt work out :dunno:

Nice find Max..... But you should be able to run big bores. I didn't think about the steering turnbuckles before seeing the video. Kid has it covered.

Sure you can! Keep in mind the spring rates will be way stiff. Take the springs off the extra shocks or run softer springs and run lighter weight oil. Same as you would on a real truck.
But if you ever plan on upgrading to the suspension conversion you can only run one up front.
