Long Travel information.

Can't keep up with the front end. Definitely stiffer than I would like and I don't think it will handle the weight of my rtt very well, but I haven't mounted it yet so I can't say for sure. I wish I would of listed to everything I read that said to avoid it. Once I find the time to get my supercharger installed the next big thing on my list is to ditch the defined kit.

 

Because it's too stiff? Soft?

 

Whatever happened to Mike@Defined? I haven't seen him post anything in a long time?

 

He traded the defined for something with more travel, he's now mike@totalchaos

 

So I have the dreaded "taco Lean" after long traveling the rear of my tacoma. At this point everything has settled in and it seems as if my deavers have already sagged out (there f67 deavers) Now the rear of my truck sits really low, the front end is pretty high as is and i know when I eventually get rid of the stock coil bucket up front it will drop that an inch or two. Does anyone have an idea for the rear? Im running around 150psi in my rear shocks and thought maybe if I give them a few more PSI of nitrogen the rear will come up a little more, good/ bad idea? Anything helps

 

id suggest a new leaf pack. the f67s sit really low. allpro 50ts or deaver e30s or h70s would make it sit higher and wont sag much,

i have a set of 50ts for sale at the moment

 

What is the rear valving? I was told anything over 15 stack should have 300 psi or the shims aren't working properly.

U could have the f67 rearched by deaver. And or add another leaf.

Or like Juan said buy his 50t pack and be happy with ur new found up travel.

 

I had the same issue with the F-67 pack and went with the E-30 pack on my 1st Gen regular cab. It is similar to their old H-70 pack. Before you pull the trigger on a new pack, I would call Deaver and get their advice on which pack to run.

Does the bolt on Giant Motorsports kit work on 2014 tacoma? The kit I found only says 2005- 2008? Edit never mind it says on the top of page, but it says 2005-2008 lower down.

Engage offroad is no longer in business BTW. Shopping around for LT kits for my truck and called em' He just does personal stuff now..

 

Surprised they lasted as long as they did, the fit on some of their stuff was atrocious. I don't know how you could sell stuff that fit like that if you had Even the smallest amount of integrity

 

@mjp2 "- Don't bother getting a differential drop on an 05+ Tacoma (LT or mid-travel)" would you mind explaining why? Thanks!

 

Are any of y'all running hydro bumps in the front?

 

Some are, but it's recommended to bump off the spindle so you'll need fabricated spindles and an engine cage. Most guys run Wheeler's super bumps up front w/ or w/o a bypass. Otherwise you'll be hitting the bumps for too much of the articulation with hydro bumps off of the lca.

 

Thanks for the reply. It seems like there is lots of room to locate hydros up further on the frame. So as not to be hitting them all the time. -is there another reason that I'm not aware of to not do that?

 

You would need to crank the pressure pretty high to get the hydro to stop prior to fully bottoming out. The better question is what do you hope to achieve by running hydro bumps that you can't get with a super bump? And what kind of terrain are you planning to use the truck the most in?

 

I'm desert running. I'm looking to soften those hard impacts and interested in the way hydros are "progressive". Just wanted to know what others have done and learn from them. I'd run bypasses if they weren't so expensive. Thanks again

 

Try valving your coilovers first?
