drifting suspension set up

what is a good suspension set up to drift in the x runner? tire size? rim size? spacers? control arms? coil spring rate? bushings? sway arms? lowering blocks or leafs? etc.

 

You'll probably have better luck at a drifting forum. There isn't much experience on thay kinda stuff around here....

 

On my rc I put electrical tape around the tires. That seemed to help a lot so maybe you could try that.

In all seriousness though you will probably have more luck at a drifting forum as stated earlier or maybe even xru.

 

XRU is a good place to start. don't really go onto a car forum, wont really help you that much suspension wise. 240s usually don't have leafs springs and a live axle to deal with lol

no ones really set a truck up for pure drift yet, but you would need to search around XRU to make sure. how far are you going to go with the build? there are a few suspension options out there, sittin sic makes coils for the front and composite leafs, which would probably your best bet. they also make sway bars and now have an adjustable rear one as well

for the rear i would think that the smaller the block the better, and the composite mono leafs are a good (and franky, only at this time) choice. the bigger block you have the greater the distance and leverage the axle has on the leafs, which is not good. URD also makes a traction bar that will help to alleviate some axle hop and wrap, as well as the CalTrac system. there are also rear shocks that are out, QA1s, that are a good upgrade from the stockers.

 

thanx bro, yeah i got a account with XRU but theres so much haters up in that bi$atch.

good info on the suspension help. im looking into the leafs and the rear sway bars. do you know if you have to remove the x brace to install the sittin sic rear sway bar?

Alohaz bro

 

your not the kid who did the gear swap are you?

xbrace is in no way going to intefere with the SS sways. they just replace the stock sways that are already there.

 

well yeah, i kinda want to stay away from negative vibes bro. whats the sense of putting someone down and feeding bad comments about building a truck. i think everyone has their own taste in customizing their ride. there are guys up in that forum that i never met or talked to and they just talk some mad $hit about my truck. not being a cry baby or anythin, but dam yo learn some respect for others.

 

oh no bro that aint me. sorry. so what is a gear swap? sorry not really a mechanic more of a auto body person.

ok thanks for the info on the sway bars

alohaz

 

gear swap: changing your diff gear to a higher or lower ratio due to larger tires or looking for more power

 

They are jealous that they don't live in as awesome of a state as you do

 

your killing me smalls.

if you really want to set up a drifter, buy an 87 toyota pickup and drop in a chevy small block 350 on AR 14" rims and just dump the clutch. someone on this site has a video im sure

not a yota but you get it

sorry for the double f-ing video but youtube and me are in a fight

 

THANKS BRO wow! lmao its a drifting truck yo! thats freakin kool, thanks again for the video bro.
Mahalo

 

oh ok i get it, thanks that sounds like a good mod.

 

Much Mahalo's and Aloha Bro. yes Hawaii is a beautiful state but its gettin over populated here in oahu. i wish there was a bridge that connects to all of the 8 islands. LMAO some day..

im originaly from San jose CA i kinda like the open area instead of being stuck on a rock.

 

yeah like said above performance wise the sittin sic track ready drop would probably be the best bet, it comes with the sway bars f and r, composite leafs and lower coils

nice truck btw i looked at your profile pics it looks sick!

he only has the DJM kit

 

my suggestion is get yourself a custom 4-link rear setup and have them incorporate some dual adjustable coil overs for both the front and rear...you would probably need some aftermarket UCA's that way you can correct the angle of the rim and not have too much of a camber...

it really depends on how much you are willing to spend...

good luck and keep us posted...

 

yeah the sic track ready kit caught my eye too. the price is not so bad either.

lol my truck is only for looks so far (all show, no go for now) thanks bro

 

yup that is some nice volks on that truck yo
