Long Travel BS Thread

It’s not off my truck.

 

Yeah I have no interest in shipping it.

 

LETS SEE THOSE DMZ kits working post pic or vid

 

You coming around the DMZ kit now?

 

Your going to run SUA with a MT front end?
I thought that was only a LT option. What are you running (suspension wise) in the front?

 

The TC kit is good for an MT front as it only pulls 12 with a relocate.

 

I was going to do the relocation route this summer but was under the impression that I would have to run 2x10s and relocation mounts would give me full articulation of the 10 inch travel. Does SUA grant an additional 2” allowing you to run 2x12” with the same TC mounts?

 

ya Im doing the DMZ kit for sure.

1 because Tim is the shit
2 is the customer service
3 warranty on the kit

and not going CAM because of the customer service i want to be able to call someone about their kit if some thing happens or shit goes wrong
just need to pay off the 4runner first before i do anything...one thing at a time

 

what about the f67 with TC mount you could run a 16" and get about 17"-19" with it

 

I agree with all of the above as Tim makes a stellar product, but did you have a bad experience customer service wise with burg?

 

Does TC even make a SUA for 1st gens?
I’m looking on their site and I’m seeing only 2nd gen options...

 

You have to call pat

Their main truck for years was a first gen until the driver retired

 

Not sure as I think many have to custom build their LT rears for the first gens unfortunately.

 

• Wheel travel with custom shock mounts- Capable of 12" .........that s not bad for your truck but if you think about it the PRICE $1596.50 and the DMZ kit 1600 and your getting a full long travel kit in the rear i would just save your money and wait and get that 17" of travel. building a truck takes times don't just rush it because you want a pruner do it once the right way and be down with it

that's what I would do .... not my money though its your haha

my truck right now is doing about 12" in the rear and its not enough need more travel

 

just call them about 2 times about their kit and after that now will not pick up my call s.

 

Don't forget that he still needs new shocks, bed cage, etc. Granted Im on the east coast, but the DMZ kit can easily run 21-2300 shipped just for the kit.

Currently he has the stock config in the rear so I believe Jeff is only pulling 8.5 inches of rear travel? I cant really remember stock spec.

 

Well, doing what @dillonk1602 suggested sounds pretty legit. F67 deavers/ TC mount set up and run (18”?) kings in the rear.

If I were to do this route I would still be running MT in the front until I could the front end converted to LT. That should be fine right?

This is my first build and I decide to go MT sense it’s my DD but now that I’m getting into the build I should of just gone LT out of the gate. But now I’ve screwed myself.
Live and learn perhaps...

 

i would just say fuck it and just buy a add leaf pack and run that and some bump stops and wait

 

Damn no shit. I know there was a guy there named Carlos that I had talked to about trying to use one of their older kits, which I know that topic isn't always encouraged when talking to the manufacturer, but he would not confirm if they would support and/or make any products for it. After trying to get a more concrete answer on the subject he proceeded to blow me off too, except mine was via email.

Well, glad to hear you are going the DMZ route!

 

Sadly man, this is most of us here. I wish I had went LT from the get go, but quality MT parts resell for decent coin.

Besides, you KNOW that MT isn't enough for you...there some value in that. As far as the rear, nothing wrong with more travel in the interim.
