Long Travel BS Thread

What are the benefits of going with a J arm vs a longer A arm?

 

More room for big shocks

 

and x4 trophy truck points

 

I thought those were only attainable by way of stickers?

 

that too, i remember my first time at sema..

 

I wish I had a first time at SEMA

 

Never got invoiced by SEMA so we stopped trying to go... Sad days.

 

if you looked at that CL ad the UCA was clearly a stock length UCA and the LCA was Trac's 4.5" over... the difference in length between the two was hilarious

 

Anyone in the market for a long travel kit? Im considering selling the kit I have to just do a simple TC +3.5 kit instead.. Wanted to build a badass race truck, but its still my daily and id rather have it done now than need to have fab work done and second vehicle..

 

Yea bigger shocks, the arms I'm building are longer too.... should come out similar to a solo XLT kit but the upper mounting is obviously different... never was a fan of the amount of antidive built into the stock mounts soo I'm deleting all that, help keep the tire away from the firewall too when it cycles....I hope anyway

 

And yea mainly this cause I can... why build stuff everyone else already has?

 

That's awesome man!

 

I'd push everything forward if you can. Tubbing the firewall is no fun. Avoid at all costs!

 

I didn't look that closely because I don't have a 2nd gen haha good eye though! I bet someone bought it without realizing it

 

I did

 

And I'm not gunna run 37's like you even tho they look awesome...not enough motor

 

Same here on the double 20's, but it depends where and how you drive and if you are running just a coilover or a secondary.

Was it stiff driving on the street? Absofuckinglutely

 

I'd take that as a yes.

 

I nerded out and bought the cad file for second gen tacoma frames, pooped my work in progress on there and it seems like it's gunna work... cycles 22" metal to metal so with an axle for the 4wd 18-19 is plausible

 

tell me more about this frame file business.....
