Long Travel BS Thread

Unless your getting free TT take off wheels and the front hubs to go with it no reason to run that bolt pattern.

 

Solo kits going in. Almost all buttoned up!

 

nice use of the rear hatch!

 

fuck me hahahah damm that so clean

 

is that bed hatch a kit or a DIY?

 

Built by my fabricator, tossed around some ideas and that’s what we came up with

 

very nice. How does it handle weight in the bed? I've thought a couple times about doing something similar, but don't want to loose use of the bed.

 

She sounds like a keeper.

 

Can stand on it with minimal flex. Haven’t had a chance to really use the truck yet though so time will tell

 

I'll stand by for reports before chopping a giant hole in my bed

 

Who did you get your fox from and how long did it take to get them?

 

Solo ordered them from Kartek I believe. They had them in a matter of a week or so

 

OK cool. Crazy fast.

2.5? I want 3.0 but don’t think they’ll fit

 

Yah 2.5, having trouble getting the 2.5 piggyback bypasses to fit, hitting the UCA. Gunna have to switch to a remote reservoir

 

Had the same issue on a customers truck. Make sure you dont have them on the wrong side. the Piggy back bypasses are side specific because of the location like you mentioned. Edit- My bad just saw that it was a solo kit. Thought it was something else.

Kartek usually has the fox shocks in-stock. Last time they messed up and sent us the upgraded ones with the fancy anodized twist knobs and such. And here I am 4 weeks later still waiting for King to finish building my coil overs.

 

i want to get the spring under kit for my tacoma but...

I don’t know really what to do because I have a one peace drive shaft and the slip yoke goes into tail shaft of the transmission .

just limit OEM one peace drive shaft on that truck with limit straps if so how much down travel can you pull with out messing up the drive line

I would hate to have to make a two peace drive shaft just for spring under kit

What do you think is best for the 5lug 2007 tacoma

 

Build a new DS with the slip yoke in the right spot. Can still be a one peace. Or don't long travel it

 

Plenty on LT single cabs out there with a 1 piece. Most race trucks are single cab. They have a fixed transmission yoke.

The transmission yoke on the 2nd gen transmissions allow a good amount of slip. Could convert to a fixed yoke if you are going to be banging through whoops. I'd stay 1 piece to keep it simple.
