Long Travel BS Thread

Oh ok I didn't know that thanks. I already have a bypass I guess i just need to get them tuned better and I'll probably rebuild them while im at it.

 

I'd tune them and run a nice rubber bump

 

That's probably what im gonna do, any recommendations for a good bump? but im also thinking of rebuilding them. But ill definitely get them tuned.

 

I would be interested in a good bump as well.

Coot

 

I run the wheelers superbump and I've been happy with it so far

 

same here. Superbumps are nice. But they are very soft so keep that in mind.

 

Do you use any spacers because i saw they had some i could buy.

 

did on the back. I made some for my other truck for the front as they mount to the stock LCA and i angled them in so they wouldn't be pushed side ways a bad.

Haven't put my front ones on my LT kit. But you just drill and tap the frame to screw them in like stock. Or i was going to try and make a similar setup to the 2nd gens for the rubber bump and do secondaries as suggested.

 

Ok i like the sideways thing you mentioned, I'll probably try something like that. Thanks

 

well..your a 2nd gen. So you should just be able to bolt them right where the stock bumps go no problems. I think it would be wise to add the 1/4'' or the 3.8'' spacer as again, they are soft and you don't wanna hurt your shocks.

Someone with a 2nd gen can help you there better though.

 

Ok ill try both and see which cycles better. Thanks apreciate the help

 

Is that on a first gen? Because 2nd gen wheelers just screw into place after you remove the stock bumps (I used a big pipe wrench)

edit: whoops didn't see your second reply

 

One last question from me for now. What does a 2+ kit with 700lbs handle like on the road. I don't really expect it to be good, but how big of a difference would it be compared my stiff OME lift with sway Bars? I have to take your word for it because I don't know anyone with long travel, let alone another Tacoma.

 

Anyone with a second gen and superbumps, can help me decide which spacer to use thanks

 

That's gonna depend on your truck. Too many variables as far as tire size, kit, bypass, etc . My superbumps came with spacers. I run one 1/4" spacer, but could probably use another.

 

When I ran my TC kit with bypass I had no bumpstops and didn't need air bumps, Just ran a good rubber bump and stiffen up that bypass and it worked really well.

 

After you take off the remote resi fitting on a king coil over and put your new bypass fitting on, how do you top it off with oil?

 

Did you use any spacers with your bumps and what size?

 

You changed the fittings correct? You need to pull the shaft out and fill up just like if your servicing them

 

Here I am at work taking quick glances at TW until I spent 34 minutes checking out your Taco/build thread/pics. Such a sick Taco man! Hope to meet you one day.
