Dirt Designs 05+ Taco 4WD RACE kit

hahaha its all good, Ill take some of this to PM's with you, I have to watch how much more forward I go, being a DCLB I am going to 37's for better clereance and break over's going forward 1.5" while helping with my departure angles could inversely affect my break over

Ill need to get under the truck and get my current angles and measurements to see what it actually is and what 1.5 would do

 

Honestly, im not 100% sure. The truck is getting 3 linked and caged right now so its not exactly immediately accessible but I'm really curious now. I know I haven't heard it rub in the front in awhile even with the Toyos. If anything I think my limiting factor at full bump will be that I still have my compete inner fender right now. After Huckfest I'll likely be tearing the whole truck apart and rebuilding and clearancing the front end again so i will let you know what I find.

 

you want numbers?

 

yah ill call you exactly why i need

 

ok gunna be at taste of edmonton this evening though

 

Is there going to be an option for heimed uca's?

wow look how much the motor moves around in the last half of that vid. and how fast where you going in it?

 

Sure.



And good vid Brian and Joel!!

 

Yeah have to make sure you keep the mounts fresh. My motor was moving enough to let the AC line hit my UCA gusset

 

upgrade to solid mounts time?

 

Just letting you know this ^^^ is wrong. I moved the firewall back about 2" to stuff a 37" tire full lock- full lock running a kit that moved the spindle 1" forward. You're still going to be into that firewall hard.

 

Maybe you are bumping higher then this kit is setup at? Or running a much different wheel offset?

To fit a 35 with this kit it needs 1/2" trim to fit 35s....then it should only be 1.5" to clear a 37.

 

My uptravel was limited just before the upper uniball maxed out on the misalign.

A Vertical uniball kit shouldn't have that problem and should bump out even higher...like just before one of the CV axle joints binds.

4.5" Backspace is the most common aftermarket wheel on these trucks.

 

was moving, that was before solid mounts, reinforced perches, solid trans mount, and full cage

 

I meant for the Taco in the vid. not you. haha

 

What kid did you have on it? how wide was it? the wider you go the easier it clears.

 

AP 2" over kit. Forgot they are so much wider, but I still see a lot of tubbing needed.

 

So hows this kit holding up?

 

Shes doing just fine



Now I am crunching numbers and figuring out what will happen in the rear
