Long Travel BS Thread

I picked up my truck from Solo Motorsports this morning and am pretty happy with the wheel tub work. They cut it back as far as it will go to clear these 35"s.

Really looking forward to the 2nd of July Ocotillo run to finally test this thing out!!

 

Ocotillo run? Hmmmm

 

Can anyone on here point me in the right direction as far pulling springs off some king shocks ?

You can rent spring pullers "strut pullers" (I think thats what they call them there) at autozone for free, set them up on both sides and tighten until the springs compressed enough to pull the bottom spring seat and then once that comes off you just slowly release the spring compressor and the spring will come right off, it makes more sense when you have the spring compressor in hand, not too hard!

 

50$ to rent them here in ca.. but u get the money back when you return them..

 

Yeah my bad should have clarified that, I almost ended up buying them because I didnt return them for like a month

 

haha well 50$ not a bad deal if you forgot... i have like 15 redbox dvds i forgot to take back lol.. i own them now....

 

Yeah. Triplethreat started an Ocotillo Wells trip thread. Hopefully, we get a decent showing but I plan on going either way.

2 July. Meet at 5pm at Ranger station

4th of July??? Literally the worst idea ever.

 

lol. Your right and good catch. The meet is the 2-3rd of July. Meet at 5pm on 2 July and drive all night in the cooler temps.

 

Last year was nice, but it was a lot cooler last year in July. If it is 110 plus during the day with a low of 90 it's really bad out there at night. It doesn't cool down to 100 until 11pm. May not have a cool summer this year.

 

I just mean crowds man. I bet the only worse day to go is new years!!

 

Maybe in Pismo, doubt there will be anyone in Ocotillo lol

 

hey im getting ready to start my LT rear. i was wondering if anyone knows how far forward they had to move their new front perch and shackle hanger? im running the TC 12 inch shackle and H70 deavers.

 

Hey guys, I am having trouble with my truck. It has the Camburg 3.5 kit and it sways and wobbles. I can't seem to stay in my lane on the road and it doesn't return to center. Maybe @anthony250f has an idea but other than that, alignment shops are no help and camburg just tells me to go elsewhere.

 

Tighten all the bolts?

 

how much narrower is your rear axle than your front?

 

2nd gen Tacoma right? Mine wonders some and it's from the lack of caster (can only get 2*). I made the mistake of buying it with bushing uppers but I'm going to change them to heim uppers to try and add more caster.

 

You need to take it to a tea alignment place. Your caster is likely low.
