Long Travel BS Thread

2500 at GPS 65 mph.

 

whats 75mph out of curiosity? I usually cover long distances for work so 75 is usually the magic number. Im still torn between 488-456

 

Hey @Supermoto do you know if these fit 2nd Gen tacoma driveshafts?

 

can you guys let me know if my thinking is correct?

I have a sand toy that has coilovers on every corner. i know the spring rates are incorrect, as well as valving.
to get the proper spring rate, is my thinking correct?
i lift up one tire with a jack/fork lift and if another tire lifts off the ground before that tire fully bumps out i need softer springs right? is there any trick to find out how much softer i need to go?

this is on a SR1 Rhino with A-arms front and back.
Thanks,

 

Use the least amount of spring necessary to hold your rhino up at ride height loaded down with your average payload. Also, ask the rhino forum guys lol.

 

this is a completely custom setup.
its no longer a rhino. LOL. the only thing that is rhino is where the arms mount and the steering, and the 2 frame rails. cut and extended. LOL
figured you guys would know better than a rhino forum....

is there a trick to find out how much less of a spring i need, or do i just keep jumping down 50 lbs until it squats a little and i need to add a little preload??

 

Google is your friend.... Sway-A-Away as well as many other companies have spring rate calculators on their webpages. You're going to need to know more about your suspension tho. You can't just enter "Kustom a-arm Rhino bruh". You need to know actual dimensions and weights.

 

okay thanks i will look into that.

Edit:
found the sway-a-way calc, looks like i got some reading to find out what all of that shit even means!! HAHA!

 

They do

 

Think I saw you out there while we were hitting a little section by gecko st truck looked good man.

 

Haha that is funny, everyone keeps mistaking you for Bonzen and I thought that was him. You were doing a little photo shoot there? My friend asked "what is that guy filming" then you popped up over a little hill and I said that bad ass truck right there!

and thanks, yours looked awesome too

 

Haven't seen these pictures pop up on here yet.

All Pro +2 LCA failure

 

That bumpstop setup wasn't helping the situation, pretty big standoff welded on that arm

 

Bump stop looks to be the culprit.

 

That looks like my DMZ engine crossover support right now.....

 

pics?

 

I can try later. I leave for work at dawn and don't get home until after dark.
Also, looking back a few pages, (yay, I can contribute) I just got a DD. A little Toyota Corolla for $2k. 35mpg. Quite the difference when commuting 100 miles per day.

 

Those look like wimpy ass arms for a big heavy tire. No megusta.

 

I have one for sale with very low miles on it :

 

That's not surprising
