Long Travel BS Thread

My friend is a realtor in town, she’s been good to us. And she’s got big fake tits so that’s a plus

 

Ohhh alright alright...can ya PM me some contact info?

 

@dirt addiction moving here, and @DMCtacoma being close, now you thinking about coming here!!! I need to hurry up and finish school so I have enough money to play with all you linked trucks.

 

Noob question, but planing on doing TC 2" LT. I'm assuming the tie rods need to be extended as well right? what do you guys use?

 

It comes with the extensions

 

kits will include an extension

 

Yea I'm torn between Idaho or Arizona haha

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Absolutely worth doing. The inside of a steering rack isn't that complicated.

Although unless you're set on the machine shop project you can just buy a conversion rack from Solo and install it in an afternoon.

 

Az has some awesome wheeling spots. Idaho has potatoes

 

pics or didnt happen

 

OC well this weekend hit me up if your going

 

I am following what you’re saying. I think I was using “preload” in the wrong context and that was causing me some confusion.

I understand the point in dual spring applications, I was just failing to understand the concept on a single spring setup like our Tacos.

Fox 2.5” extended travel with Icon 13” 650lbs. Not running LT, you guys just have some good I do so I like to read.

I was having a conversation with a friend about going to a 14” spring.

 

Go to a 14”

 

Again, if you can give me a valid reason of why you say that, I may consider it.

Not a “that’s what my buddy said to do.” What is the benefit?

 

going to a 14" form a 13" spring not really going to gain to much out of it .... i would send my $$ on something other then that and just wait tell you need new springs (new spring are about $200-300 )

 

I will potentially have icon 14" 700# springs coming off my truck if you are at all interested.

I switched to those when I added the winch/front bumper to my truck, now going to a TC +2 kit.

 

I feel like a 700# will be too much with my setup right now. I have a bumper in the works, but no winch any time soon.

 

Fo sho, I ran it without the winch for a long while and didn't have any complaints. Just let me know if you are interested at all. It's otherwise gonna sit in the shop.

 

…. I basically have a full machine shop at home....1500$ for a rack from solo.....or 300$ a case of beer and some time in the shop?...ill take my chances...it seriously cant be that hard to do. either way you got to make new mounts and shorten the steering shaft a lil...soo install time is the same. the price difference is worth the try.
