Long Travel BS Thread

Does anyone have any Deaver F67s in good shape that they are looking to sell?

 

Feed back would be non existent, as well as self centering steering among many other things.

 

Hydraulic is kind of old fashioned. Electronic Power Steering is the future, but short of hacking apart a new Chevy pickup I don't know how to source the parts. The buggy dorks are converting to EPS and there is some aftermarket support there, but it's all centermount. I did notice that the new Tundra rack looks very similar to the Tacoma rack (just beefier). It might be a tad wide, but with different tie rods may be just the ticket for an easy upgrade. Anyone have access to a tundy to take some width measurements? Center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole, body width, arm length etc?

 

This is 100% true on full ram steering. But we routinely install ram ASSISTED steering kits on solid axle vehicles like Jeeps and Super Duty's, and they drive very nicely. Less feedback for sure, but steering returns to center every time and it definitely helps when you're locked in the front, aired down, on 37's or bigger tires.

Next time I get a 2014 Tundra in the shop, I'll do some snooping around. I get one or two in every month or so.

 

Chaos has been using the new tundra rack on the mini (shop race truck) with pretty good results. They have only had 1 go out to my knowledge. Also solo did the tundra rack swap on the silver tacoma that's running there frontend. I haven't heard how its working though. I believe they had to shorten it to make it work though

 

I'm also on my 2nd rack..

 

I have f55 fs

 

We can sell you new ones


I think there was a set for sale on dezertrangers

 

Thanks for the offer. Pat at TC suggested F67s so I'm trying to go with that right now.

 

Does anyone have an 33x10R15 tires that they would trade for some 33x12.5R15 BFG all terrains? Mine are 90% and looking for the same. I will pay to swap tires.

 

I have some. They are about 95% lol

Yeah f67 should be perfect. I have tc 9" shakles to incase you were looking

 

What shackles are you running if you have those 9" shackles available? I was planning on running those F67s with a 12" shackle.

 

I would so the e30 pack and 12s. Instead of f67s

 

He has 12's now, get 12's
53" center of front pivot to center of rear shackle pivot.
You 52.5" fanboys can suck it.

 

Mine are at 54.5 for that groovy stinkbug stance. Works better for my driving style...

 

Went to press the old uniballs out for txmxer to discover misalignments and lower bolts were totally rusted. Couldn't even press the bolt out of the misalignments with a 20ton press. So we turn him a couple of misalignments to get him back up and going faster.

 

Can't wait to get my 2 from you! ^^

 

It's a 2000 4x4 reg cab w/2.7, no bed, two spares, stock fuel tank, and rear tube work.

I thought that the e30 pack is more of an HD pack and maybe overkill for such a light truck. Why would you choose it over the F67?

I am going to stick with 12" shackles based on everyone's recommendations.
