Long Travel BS Thread

Very true. I have a feeling that the rearend is going to be twice as bad.....took it for a slow drive out front of the house. Tires squeeled a little from the crazy angles and veered all over the road anything over 5mph. Have to do some adjustments before I can even drive it to the alignment shop.

 

Truck looks good, you shouldve heard me driving to the alignment shop when I first bought my truck and stripped it down and reinstalled the arms and new coilovers, it sounded like I had a flat or was burning out the whole way there, luckily the alignment shop was close

 

Im debating between adding bypasses up front or upgrading to 35" tires. Im worried that my angry 3RZ 4cycl is going to be a complete dog with 35s even with the new gears. The 5.29 gears helped out my acceleration a lot and 35" tires will take all of that acceleration away.

So 10" bypasses or 35" tires?

 

with 5.29s id consider going to 35s...... I loved my 33s and 488s, which should be about the same as 35s and 529s.....

but id honestly do motor/tranny mounts first if you haven't.
that upgrade gave me loads of more power believe it or not...

 

Bypasses

Save you're money and valve the c/o's

 

Both...

 

Motor and tranny mounts are already done. I would like to upgrade to Bonzen's motor mounts but that is in a few months.

 

Coilovers will be valved by Solo Motorsports as part of setting up their LT kit.

 

I didn't win the Powerball. Its one or the other.

 

do you have the bomb proof ones? if so I would just stick with those and place the perches and frame... not worth the money to trade out (IMO)

also (to get it perfect) I bet it will still need to be revalved after you use their recommendations. every truck is different with how much weight it has, angle of CO and what not.

Just saw this... sorry for the late reply. Yeah, I'm getting somewhere just shy of 11" at the wheel with the Tundra 5100s, LR UCAs, 2nd gen coils and CVJ axles. My tire tucks into the fender on stuff and I measured 11" on droop. (realistically, I'm probably getting a bit less total travel) So far, I haven't had any issues with binding at all. I've run this setup for 4 or 5 years now without an issue.

I hit the bump stops on compression:


The tire is about .25" from flush with the fender:


Now Full extension, my measurement is 11.25"

 

Lol that's one way to do it

 

Remember you measure from behind the balls....

 

Aren't u the 5vz? He's the 4banger so different animal!

Also the bomb proof and perches still leave the stock block mount. Which will be the next week link. I had the TG mounts on last truck and gusseted perches. We pulled the mounts off to reuse but I bought some of @Bonzen mounts because I don't want to deal with that bs later on. Juan had to pull his motor to deal with a block mount issue!


I vote for 3.4 swap lol. Or bypasses

Just my 2¢

 

Ya it was a bitch and a half and truck is still down so I'd definetly replace the block mounts and the frame perches.

 

X2.

 

Anyone running a tundra axle and 4.10s? 4wheel parts said there are no 4.10s for tundra axles....
