triple or double bypass

[ratboy93]

does anyone run double or triple bypass on the front of there xj? will a 2.5 triple fit?

 

[crazyjim]

I know Rich (Fordguy) runs a triple bypass, as do most Jeepspeed teams. They'll fit.

i helped setup dual bypass' on a friends mj, you can find the thread here in this forum, titled 'front end touch up'.


i had to break out the BFH, but it was for the big 2.5 piggyback. i have an identical setup for my truck, but with the 2.0 piggyback resi. it should fit better.

The by-pass tube all need to be on the outside of the shock body away from the fender well.

We've got Fox building quad by-passes for Austin Stobaughs Jeepspeed right now.

is he stepping up to 3700 or did the rules change? Thought max 3-tubes?
edit: nevermind, didn't see anything about # of tubes

f my life.. i wish i had the money to go with custom quad bypass... lol lucky bastard. im just goin to stick with triple little more affordable

The GenRight buggy we raced in the last KOH has quads, and the extra little rebound tube makes a difference if you can swing it. Really made the thing stick on the really big hits.....no bounce back at all.

 

[ratboy93]

so what about for the back 14" or 16"

 

[DieselSJ]

16"

 

[ratboy93]

thats what i was thinking too. even though 12" is the travel limit. in theory 16"s would hold more oil meaning more cooling?

You are becoming wise, grasshopper.

If you go 16, make sure the bypass tubes are in the right location. I remember looking at Griffith's 18s and they looked kind of odd (but correct) because the bypasses were all at the bottom since the limit is 12 inches.

Griffith ran 16s as those are the limit. But that is a very good point - make sure your bypasses are in the correct location. Some cars are set up to use the top of the shock travel and some are set to use the bottom. Or you can be like us and use the middle 12.

Hmm are you sure? I couuld have sworn they were 18's when itook a look at it at King. It was taken apart though...

Are you sure 16s are the limit for shock body length? I thought 16s was the limit for reservoir length....

4.1.3 .7 .....Remote reservoirs are allowed with a maximum diameter of 3” and a maximum length of 16”, and may only utilize a single hose for fluid attachment to the shock (no double-hose recirculating systems). Liquid cooling of shock and reservoirs is not allowed.
