Long Travel - Mid Travel Kit

• Add to quote

I'm trying to figure out if there are kits out their for a Dodge 2004 2wd 1/2 ton. I can't find anything at all. Just needing to see if I'm going to fab one up myself or if I can find a kit. Thanks guys.  

Not quite sure what you're meaning by a long travel - mid travel kit, Nick. Can you clarify what that is for an old guy?  

Ever watch the mint 400 or the Baja 1000? Basically a off road truck they call a trophy truck. But what mid travel and long travel do is give more suspension travel so you can jump and suspension doesn't bottom out. It also makes a smoother ride for your truck. But then again and is very expensive.  

DOH! :doh: I gotcha now. I'm guessing there are kits available, but, like you said, very expensive. Good luck with the hunt and keep us posted on whatcha find.  

Pure Performance is the only one that I know who makes a kit for the 3rd gens. The call their kit '06-'08 but the front suspension hasn't changed since 2002, well, except some have torsion bars but they would get removed in favor of the weld-in springs anyways. Nothing is a bolt-in kit, welding and fabricating is required for all the installations.

ReadyLift 2007-2013 Silverado & Sierra 4wd Mid Travel Kit # 44-3003

This item has been discontinued by ReadyLift and is no longer available for purchase.

ReadyLift is proud to introduce their new Mid Travel Suspension System for the 2007-2013 1500 series Silverado and Sierra 6-lug 4WD Trucks. Increased requests from customers wanting a true Mid Travel kit for their Silverado and Sierra trucks encouraged ReadyLift the research and development department to engineer one of the finest and most affordable performance oriented suspension systems available. If you want more than a typical lift for your truck keep reading...

The ReadyLIFT Off Road Suspension # 44-3003 Mid Travel System is designed for use on 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 series 4x4 trucks. This Extended Travel Suspension Kit was engineered, tested and developed to be the first fully functioning mid travel suspension system that will work with your 4WD 2007-2013 GM 1500 truck! Imagine 12" of full suspension travel while in 4WD! If you want to keep up with your Raptor buddies this is the kit for you! Having 12" inches of usable suspension travel while operating in 4wd has been unheard of in a consumer vehicle until now!

The ReadyLift 44-3003 Mid Travel kit will increase your front track width by 2.50" on each side. The total amount of track width increase will vary depending upon the wheel back space that is used. Increasing the wheel track width helps to enhance stability and suspension performance over most terrains. To accommodate the increased travel and track width ReadyLift had to develop custom Heavy Duty CV axles that replace the factory version. The ReadyLift axles are designed specifically for use with this mid travel kit and are a direct bolt on item. The axles can safely operated at the full range of suspension travel even under the most extreme of conditions!

ReadyLift also includes their machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum differential drop brackets. When raising the front suspension lift height the differential is lowered to help maintain safe front axle and CV operating angles. Readylift engineered this differential drop system to help cut installation time in half compared to other similar kits. Unlike other differential drop brackets made from steel plate that bend and can cause CV failure, ReadyLift CNC-machined brackets cannot ever bend, break or cause any driveline problems when using 4WD mode. That is guaranteed by ReadyLift! Accompanying the patent pending differential drop brackets is a thick powdercoated plate steel skid plate that utilizes the factory attachment locations for ease of installation while providing tough differential protection when off roading.

ReadyLift Mid Travel Kit Features & Benefits: Direct Bolt On Installation No Permanent Suspension Modifications Required Easy Installation Allows For Up To 35" tall Off Road Tires 12" Wheel Travel - Twice as Much As Stock! Up To 3" Adjustable Lift Using Fox #399-48-201 Adjustable Coil Over Shocks 2.5" of Increased Wheel Track Width Per Side 3/16" Thick Heavy Duty Boxed and Reinforced Steel Construction Upper and Lower Control Arms Teflon-lined FK Heim Bearing Joints with Heat Treated Pins and Stainless Steel Spacers Upper Control Arms Have Heavy Duty UniBall Pivot Bearings Lower Control Arms Have Extra Heavy Duty Ball Joint For Easy Installation with OEM Upright New Custom Made Longer Heavy Duty CV Axles Designed To Accommodate The Full Range Of Suspension Travel Proven Heavy Duty CNC Machined 7075 Steering Kit with FK Heim Joints Extended Length Stainless Steel Brake Lines Designed For the Increased Track and Travel CNC Machined 6061 Differential Drop Brackets To Correctly Lower The Differential Thick Powdercoated Steel Skid Plate Included To Protect Your Differential When Off Road Driving Guaranteed to Increase Your Truck's Overall Suspension Performance! Front Fender Modifications Required - Wider Front Fenders

Please note that this ReadyLift # 44-3003 kit does NOT include coilovers. Specific coilovers must be purchased for use with this Mid Travel lift system. The factory shock and spring assembly will not work properly.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

Kievskaya Metro Station

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂

Russian cities battle heating outages as temps drop below freezing

Tens of thousands of people in Russia are affected by a lack of heating, water or electricity, according to Russian media reports, after frost and outdated pipes are causing outages in many cities amidst below freezing temperatures.

A main district heating pipe in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk busted on Thursday, the local media outlet Siberian Express reported.

Hot water and heating failed in more than 100 homes and 12 other buildings, while the hot water from the district heating pipe poured down a main road at minus 15 degrees Celsius.

A survey by the rosteplo.ru website showed that 3,000 people in the harbour city of Vladivostok on the Pacific were without heating on Wednesday.

In the nearby city of Nakhodka, 6,000 people were without heating, while disruptions in the cities of Yekaterinburg, Volgograd, Saratov and Penza in recent days were also reported.

In St Petersburg, the rupture in a district heating pipe should be repaired by Thursday morning, according to the authorities.

In Podolsk, a city near Moscow, the heating plant of an ammunitions factory, which also supplies over 170 high-rise buildings, broke down on January 4. The town's deputy head of administration, Roman Ryazantsev, was taken into custody on Wednesday, according to the court there. About 20,000 people were affected.

This time Russian President Vladimir Putin intervened and ordered a rapid restoration of the heating supply and nationalized the ammunitions factory. Other cities in the Moscow region are also facing heating problems.

Politically, the heating supply failures are a set back for Putin, who is seeking re-election for a fifth term in March.

Affected citizens protested in some cities. In the town of Elektrostal near Moscow, some houses had allegedly not been heated since mid-December, while people are keeping warm by open fires on the street.

In its war of against Ukraine, Russia is attempting to damage the neighbouring country's energy supply by firing missiles at it, while last winter this resulted in electricity, heating, gas and water often failing in Kiev and other cities.

This winter, fewer outages are being reported in Ukraine despite the attacks.

J.J. McCarthy second overall? + QB class red flags, Dak Prescott on the open market | Inside Coverage

Jason Fitz is joined by Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson and Jori Epstein to go behind the scenes on the latest rumors and news around the NFL. The trio start with takeaways from the NFL owner's meetings as Jori was on the ground in Orlando. The hosts discuss the fallout of the new kickoff rule (are rosters going to change because of it?), the two Christmas Day games and what the heck Jerry Jones was doodling in his notebook. Next, it's time to pull out the crystal ball as the hosts attempt to look into the future for some key quarterbacks, starting with Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy's draft stock has been skyrocketing lately as some rumors emerged that he could go as high as second overall. Charles gives his thoughts and what he's hearing from GMs around the league before moving onto Brock Purdy and whether San Francisco will be willing to pay him when the time comes. Charles dives deeper into the 2024 quarterback class and why every prospect has a massive red flag, and Jori gives us the latest on the Dak Prescott contract negotiations, which seem to be heading in the wrong direction. All signs are pointing towards Dak hitting free agency next offseason. Finally, Fitz wraps things up by asking about Deion Sanders' comments about choosing where his sons get drafted and whether or not player empowerment could be ascending to a new level with the emergence of NIL.
