Long Travel BS Thread

new sub for the 4runner and new cabin for the tacoma

 

its too funny not to post hahah sorry last one

 

I like Memphis, have an entire memphis system in my truck. sounds great.

 

Yeah sorry for the confusion

 

You won't be able to fit a setup like that under the bed with SUA due to how much up travel you'll have. The shock body will be too long and i bet even a 10'' shock will be too long and you'll have to bump the axle 2'' or something crazy.

 

Even if i was to haw the truck sit same highet or 2” taller the then a stock trd pre runner

 

its not about ride height. Its about travel. SUA will give you more up travel than a SOA axle setup. It also lowers the point where you can put mount the shock.

If you jack up the truck and end up with almost no down travel, it'll ride bad, and you won't be able to have all the up travel as you'd need a longer shock to work but the body will be too long to use all the up travel.

 

Ok lets say i was a 6lug swapped to sua deaver 62” with 12” shakles and mounted shock hoops out side the frame, would that work? If so what size shock would be needed?

 

Be a tight squeeze but do able. I think the biggest you could fit is maybe a 14 without going into the bed. maybe

You'd want a wider axle most likely to make mounting options better. Like a tundra/t100 axle.

 

All i heard was its doable lol, time to start looking for parts and pricing stuff out

 

Just fatigued. Not rusty, not loose. I always check tightness on everything, just my bad on not swapping out old bolts. Was something in the back of my mind I knew I should have done, after almost 2 years of driving around on it and several trips offroad. You live and you learn, lost 2 hours in a parking lot, could have been much much worse.

 

Don't do 14" way too long. I tried it on my cousins prerunner , doesn't even fit. 12" max.

 

Really all im looking for is 10”, the fabtech shocks i have on the rear now are like 8.5” travel, i also have my sway bar connected, which is limiteding my travel... working on designing a qd sway bar link

 

if you just what a 10'', then get the TC kit or the Solo kit and call it a day.

 

Well got 1 corner finished

 

Not like you jump your truck. Jeff defiantly drives his truck more then to the mall.

 

the way you worded switching to an arm setup with integrated uniballs made it seem like that would make a difference. but in your case it wouldnt

 

Yeah I'm not saying I don't abuse the truck lol. Just saying I should have swapped out bolts a while ago. So learn from my mistakes everyone lol.

 

What brand of glass fenders do you have? My inner lip is like 3/4"-1" wide. I made a set for a buddy and his fenders have a really narrow inner lip and arent as thick . They were some Amazon knockoff fenders..

 

No no no, those are my bypasses, please send them to me!!!

Also, you need spindle gussets asap and uca gussets not long after
