5 Lug mid travel????

Is there a longer strut bar? The oem bar isn't gonna fit on those

 

Nope, just arms... That's all the kit came with I took off the strut bar

 

i wonder if you have to assemble the kit yourself, like you need to find alm the parts on there website and order. Its not just a complete kit on its own. But if thats the case then its kinda dumb

 

already been said... but I was going to say that maybe it was meant for stock spindle and upper ball joint mounted on top of the uca. the strut bar looks like it goes in the two holes closest to the coil seat, though, since the lower arms are longer

I would definitely hit them up. Did it come with any installation instructions?

 

I was looking closer at @TacoBunny 's photos.. maybe like @Sperrunner was saying... lower ball joint bracket on top of new LCAs.

I was also thinking you could swap the orientation of the lbj back to stock, or play with different variations of those two settings... use process of elimination until camber looks right again. then observe the setup for any red flags, of course

 

But even with that control arm set up its not really giving any more travel its just simply lowering the mounting point of the spindle so iys just giving lift like the spindles. The doestch system is better cause you actually get a little more travel

 

@TacoBunny, I picked up two sets of

$13 Energy Suspension 9.9102G Low Profile Bump Stop - Pack of 2

Energy Suspension 9.9102G, which will replace the factory UCA bumpstops next to the coil buckets. It'll give you a little more down-travel. I wanna say they make an even lower profile one, but I couldn't find the part number. I know you got bigger issues right now, but I am just going off what I can see in the photos.

 

The doetsch uca and coils come with bump stops for the uca to give more travel

 

Thanks for the options guys, I'll give it another go Tomorrow and let you know if añanythi changes

 

Was looking at your picture for awhile. Try mounting the lower bj bracket on top of the lca with the lbj on top of the bracket pointing up. May put the lca close to the ground though and added leverage to the lbj bracket causing it to snap easier

 

Part# 9.9123 3/8" tall
Part#9.9102 5/8" tall

 

Problem is though the uca isn’t long enough to reach the top the spindle, that uca is like stock length but the lca is atleast 3” longer

 

Looking at it agian even if it you mounted the lbj to the top side of the lca you lose lift but the spindle if it sits in its proper angle sits still way to for for the uca to reach. I almost feel like it needs either the oem spindle or its own spindle made by that company

 

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried everything but nothing worked, at the end of the day I just returned it to stock. I'm calling the shop today to get a refund

 

You should explain to then what is wrong with it and see what they have to say about that. Im curious on what there thought process was on making that lift

 

Yeah, I understand your frustration with the company/product, but it would be nice to know what they have to say about it. It may be as simple as using the stock spindle, or maybe they are unaware of their design flaws. It would be helpful for others that may want to install this kit. (provided there is a way to install it..)

 

ill let you guys know, but on a much better note... i finally got my 3.91 diff installed!!

 

I had this Fabtech 3" spindle lift with a part number:

$408 FTS4130-7 3" Spindle Kit for Toyota Tacoma

FTS4130-7 on my 5-lug, but did not buy UCAs.
It was a single cab 4-banger and was fun as hell

 

Awesome! I got my 4.10 installed and drove it around the block a few times. I can already tell I am going to enjoy it. I still need to bleed the brakes, though. My bleeder gun broke, so I am in the process of making my own pressure bleeder. I am also finishing up a radiator install... waiting on some oil cooler adapter fittings. Since radiator was custom mounted, I went ahead and installed the 4crawler 2in body lift kit I have had for about a year now sitting around. I emailed Bilstein, and they said to expect a call this week. (can't wait) When I finally figure out my front end mid-travel, I'll have so much wheel gap, I am thinking about going with 33s, but definitely 31s. hard to say... maybe 32s haha

 

id probably go 31 with the 4.10. my 3.91 kinda makes me wish id've gone with a 4.10. I just love that i can cruise at 80 and be right at a healthy 3k rpm!! Its definitely more enjoyable but ive only got 29s im gonna move up to 30s eventually but i feel like itll be better once i start doing engine mods. I dont think i want to go the turbo route... im looking into a centrifugal supercharger . I found a Universal bracket that i can get cut to fit the 5vz. Dont get your hopes up for the near future unless i get another job, one of those puppies new is 3k in total. i love that im
