Long Travel BS Thread

He's married u guys lol

 

I meant i wasn't surprised at how much money he's put into his truck… not that his gf left him haha

 

Shit I thought you were referring to the later.

 

lol not at all!

 

Is that a Desolate Motorsports 8.8 Truss in the picture?

 

this is so amazing

 

Was tempted to flip these but I'm sure someone on here needs a steal of a deal on an lt set up

Meh, when I called camburg to see about trading in my uppers for heimed uppers, they basically told me they'd sell brand new heimed uppers for 1k and my bushing uppers would make great paperweights lol

 

Yup! I got the same answer, they wouldn't sell me the misalignment spacers either! I am going to attempt to convert mine since both tubes are parallel, shouldn't be too hard I just haven't had a change to try it, I got everything I need already. Everyone tells me otherwise but I'd rather try first and ruin a set of arms than making them expensive paperweights.

 

So you're gunna convert them to hiem?

 

Yeah, that's the plan. Should be as simple as shopping off the bushings and welding on the threaded bungs. Well maybe not that simple, I'll also be making a fixture to make sure the bungs are in the right position and what not.

 

Sounds awesome! Take plenty of pics! We might have to copy your work

 

Your arms parallel to each other?

Edit answered few posts up

 

Yea most bushing arms arnt parallel

 

@ls1 prerunner @VolcomTacoma not sure who you talked to but we sell the individual parts all day long and have no problem doing so. Heck we have many fab shops who buy all the heim and uniball spacers to make their own kits with Camburg spacers lol

Here's a price break down .... take 10% discount off these for TacomaWorld members ...

• FK JMX-12T heims = $45 each x 4
  
• 3/4" RHT jam nuts = $0.75 each x 4
  
• Camburg 3/4" RHT 4130 thread bungs (1.50 x.120w tubing) = $18.00 each x 4
• Camburg Tacoma UCA stainless Heim spacers = $18.00/pair x 4

Hahaha Hey Scott, I wasn't asking about a conversion. When I called I had a brand new kit in box I'd picked up off of here, I wanted to trade the bushings upper kit for a heimed uppers kit and pay the difference and I was told that couldn't be done, but I could buy a heimed uppers alone for 1k or so. This was about 3 years ago . No hate here, still running y'alls kit and loving it. @motoxscott

 

Sweet. You'll have to get em installed. I'll add bypasses at some point to my truck, just need to pay off everything for now. But got my shipping confirmation on my dmz rear today, hopefully rear shocks don't take too much longer.

 

1st gen ftw I will just say my complete truck/suspension/cage/welder/tools/etc cost less than a 2nd gen by itself

 

Yes it is. it needed a little loving to fit but it's a pretty decent truss.

 

Kind of a goofy tube layout on those bypasses... seems like the short compression shouldn't overlap soo much and be more up at the top
