Long Travel BS Thread

That’s not bad. Do they have a store front of is it just a fab garage

 

Built Right = The Truck Shop SD, full service Toyota specialists with a fab shop too.

 

Eww I beams are gross. I'd say go custom center mount

 

You give me the money, I'll design and build it ok my truck, then take you for a ride. Deal?

 

Umm ya more like 40k

 

Basically weigh that thing with the most amount of weight you could imagine having in it, the amount you would have in it every day, and any other scenario you can think of. Get a front and rear weight from a trucking place that weighs for $10 (where I've gone) or so and let deaver know your application. H70's have to be ordered anyway - they don't stock them. You can let them know what you plan on doing and the weights of loaded, unloaded etc. and ask for up-travel and down-travel numbers.

 

Damn. Alright cool. Thanks!

 

Also I wish I had seen this awhile ago. I'm content with the route I went for the front, but I would have saved enough to have all my parts paid for by now if I bought this instead - you're 2wd so it would be even easier cost-wise to go this route.

That’s crazy. I’ve never heard of anything like that

 

Im running j55 springs and a 9" total chaos shackle and it sits really low (2 full size spares, fuel cell in front of axle)...in order to swap to a j67 or similar spring you would need to move to a 12" shackle and relocate the shackle right? I'm wondering if it's worth just reorganizing the rear to only have a single spare...would that make a difference?

 

No way.

Your XLT kit is way beefier. the LBJ design and Spindle alone make it worth it.

 

I thought j55 and 9" typically went through the frame for the mounts, yours look like they are sitting on top which will lower the ride height. What is the spacing from front to rear mount? You might be able to swap shackles without relocating the mount, 12" usually sits on top of the frame the way yours is

 

lol like I said I'm satisfied - completely happy actually - I'm just dreaming what it would be like to have 5k more to complete my parts list lol

 

ha that is true. But still.

 

Isn't saying you're happy with your truck is like saying "It's done!". It's never done. You'll always want to go faster, smoother. Or break it and need to make it better and stronger.

 

Little late but I have one lower misalignment for a bolt in coilover for a tacoma. Not sure what they’re off of but they were too big for the icons I have

 

I'll be content with "has an engine in it" lol

 

You're right. Just gotta be more patient for the mod funds to recover lol

 

i know a local selling some 50ts and some 12 inch shackles.
