Long Travel BS Thread

Make sure to check the spring travel from the manufacturer you go with.
700# + 16" coils can have under 8" of spring travel with no preload, meaning coil bind before your full travel, which wouldn't be nice to your coil buckets.

 

haha thats funny.
so did he just bend his tie rod to clear the coil?
he must mob hard with bypasses and coilovers in the front but stock ungusseted spindles.... lol

 

anyone here running viper coils? so far best price for coils.

 

There is a reason they are cheap, every set I've ever ran fatigued in no time.

 

no shit, wow. so is eibach still the better coil?

 

Eibach and king.

 

Heim steering..

 

Nah they are bent is what I was pointing like everyone else haha

 

ORLY

 

HaHa..

I've broken 2 of these guys, luckily both happened on the street and not on the dirt

 

thats slightly different haha, but since you posted it all pro or someone desperately needs to design a gusset or tab to double sheer their heimed steering setup off the spindle. I also had issues with the outer bolt coming loose or rotating over time and wearing that angled bolt down when I had my AP kit. Luckily I never had one sheer but I think it was part of the reason I've gone through 3 steering racks.

Great concept, poor execution IMHO

Edit: SDHQ Designed and Built spindles to properly run a full heimed steering setup

 

Fuck I want that

 

There's been a few peeps out there who's promised a fully fabbed 4wd spindle but nobody has come through yet aside from a few one off sets

 

Dirt designs and solo both make fabbed 4wd spindles.

 

Solo's are only for their kits aren't they? I would guess the same for dirt design as well. I think they are meaning a fabbed spindles that you can throw on basically any Tacoma.

 

So will this work with any kit? Also could it work with a mt setup till I get the front done after the holidays?

 

Nope won't work either way with either kit, I forgot dirt designs has vertical uniballs

 

For the solo kit its 1400 bucks in just the proprietery CV/halfshafts that will knly work in the solo spindle. The spindle is incorporated into their LT arms so I can't just slap a pair on. I'd have buy the whole shebang as in the whole LT kit not that I wouldn't mind having 19" strapped between my legs

Can't find info on the dirt design spindle...

 

Not sure about an individual spindle.. But here's the kit
