Long Travel BS Thread

Oh yes. Here we call it the transmission butt fuck.

Yeah you're fine, you have a one piece driveshaft that slips/plunges at the trans output.

If you are going to break the leaf pack apart to the main leaf to cycle for those numbers you might as well just cycle with the driveshaft in and check plunge yourself.

 

@Happysmiley hey Man U should post some of those shots of ur new build here for those that don't ig! That lil Yota is gonna rip!!!!

 

Heres mine with the new kit on it finally. Took it home last Friday enjoying it now. Daily driver,just have minor things to do then test.

 

Looks awesome.

 

Looks amazing

 

If I could like this twice I would!

 

Whatsup guys i have a 2004 5lug tacoma with a jd longtravel kit, I'm about to put my new kings on that i bought without springs, and was looking for recommendations on which springrate and spring size to use I will be running a 2.5x10" king coilover. I was thinking on using a 4" 350 pound tender and a 18" 450-500 lower. Thanks

 

500/700 here but 2nd gen

 

How doesit do on that 700? seems a little high.

 

Good. That's what Bobby at solo told me to run. Hit up @06HAOLE he might be able to hook up first gen #s

 

Cool thanks bro and he was running a bypass/coilover, so his #'s might be different.

 

Springs should be the same but valving would be different

 

^^^ this

 

The lever ratio of the solo kit vs yours may be different though. Springs rates need to be chosen based on corner weight and lever ratio.

 

and 5 lug vs 6 lug... Not sure what the differences are in weight on those

 

I bought my truck used with a jd kit on it. I'm running dual 500s a 12" and 10". If I do it again I'd run a 4" spring on top. Using a spring calculator I'm sitting at a 260lb recommend rate.

 

Yea ive seen your truck at a prerunners meet. do you still have the jd kit on there? And do you know what valving is in that coilover?

 

I'm running pretty aggressive valving because no bypass. Wanna say 10s rebound and 15s compression. One bleed open.

Still running the jd kit. It's old and still puts up with me.

 

Nice Im thinking of either dooing the uniball conversion on that kit or just getting a race kit.
