Long Travel BS Thread

Some guys need to shorten their ds about an inch to compensate for the plunge, but when @DTFtacoma did mine we moved it back about an inch and did not have to trim any of the drive shaft. Used the magic 52.5" numbers and my rear performed pretty dam good once the valving was set correctly!

 

I have 123" or 10'3". From center of front hub to center of rear wheel center piece. I don't know if this matters but in running TC box lower kit in front and my rear is bone stock. Factory leafs, shackles and shocks. My leafs sit flat. Hopefully this helps.

 

Thanks bro. Gonna end up stretching back to 128" Or around there. Don't wanna go all the way back to fill regular taco bedsides.

 

Just out of curiosity, not talking shit lol, Is it normal to have the link mounts on the axle hanging down so low? Seems like you'd want them horizontal with the axle?

 

From my understanding and reading it has to do with the geometry.

 

And from Camburgs IG Page

 

They can be setup either way. I've found it easier to control driveshaft plunge, as well as keep a better pinion angle with the tabs below the axle tube. It's also easier to get the anti squat numbers I'm looking for.

 

Thanks for the technical terms lol

 

Trucks looking good @nfs257 i wish you had a dcsb so I could have trac cut me a set of those lower links.

 

They have 48's and 55's I believe now. My links are actually ruff stuff links.

 

@jeffz0rz

 

Thanks I'll check them out. Shock placement for the short bed has been the toughest part when looking for precut lower links.

 

I have links and mounts for a short bed 4 door.

 

Solo links on my buddies truck.

 

Now I'm just jelly. Looking forward to the progress.

 

Any word on the 55" trailing arms?

 

pics?

 

Wait...I thought you were doing a canti...or leafs...or SAS...or portal axles...now links ?

 

probably ending up with a panhard 3link like what jta did on a silver dc taco. but doesnt hurt to read and look at all the possibilities of what i could do. fuck me right
