Long Travel BS Thread

Is that what youre running in your profile picture?
Because Ive seen pictures of just the 2" kit with trimmed fenders looks awesome

 

No I have mid travel currently with LT kit sitting at home.. I'm going to run stock fenders though.

 

What LT setup did you go with

 

TC +2 race kit with Kings. I have King mid travel coil overs right now

 

You can run either kit with stock fenders, but they will require trimming, just like a good mid travel setup would. I personally think stock fenders look best on our trucks. But I can't stand cut fenders unless people put the work in to make them look factory again like @clupi did, so I went with glass. Here's the TC 3.5" race kit with stock uncut fenders. Don't mind that they are beat to shit. I actually did that when I was on stock length arms

 

Unless you need the narrower wheel base for competition reasons I'd go +3.5 you'll gain an extra 2-3" of travel for the same price as the 2" kit and gain a better center of gravity

 

Wow I didnt know you could actually do it without cutting them.

 

A lot of states have laws that your tires can't stick out beyond your fenders.. Washington is unfortunately one of those states.

 

They would need to be trimmed if it was long term or you'd have to space the bump stops so they wouldn't get destroyed (which would kind of defeat the LT purpose)

 

Most states also have blanket laws that cover modified suspensions

 

Oh really? Hmm didn't know that

 

You're talking about a wheel sticking out 2" or 3.5" on each side. Chances are both setups would be getting a ticket.

 

The things you learn from building air ride suspensions

 

I'll have to look that up for my state

 

At least in Texas you cant go around the corner without seeing a lifted truck with the wheels hanging out

 

Hey guys, if you know anyone in the North Carolina area (or anyone willing to pay shipping), I'm selling my old mid travel kit. Just some TC ucas and Fox 2.5" coilovers. Here's the link

This! Every time I see a Magnetic Gray Metallic Tacoma with aftermarket wheels and off road tires I question myself as to why I went long travel and fiberglass on a perfectly good looking truck, but then I remember why any time I hit the dirt in it.

 

+1 on stock glass looking better than fiberglass, I actually dislike the Tacoma glass over most trucks where it doesn't look as obvious that you're running fiberglass. Maybe because I looked at my fenders for a year before they were color matched and it looked extra shirt. Doesn't look bad all matched up

 

went to kartek today and picked up some TC coil bucket gussets to get ready for the DTF kit.. would of had bump stops ordered but my check i put in didnt clear same day so hopefully they will be ordered tomorrow.. and around the 1st i go get my tires and custom front fenders

 

You guys know McNeil racing makes a 2.5" fender that has the flares also built into the glass?
