damn that truck is looking good, cant wait to see more pics. maybe some more pics of the tacoma you did. thanks btf.

 

everytime i see LT it just makes me wanna get it even more

 

Interested. I would defi8nitly like to get more specs and info. And pictures are always good too.

 

Subscribed. Where is your shop located? Rancho Cucamonga? That's where I live so I would love to stop by and check it out.

 

off topic, but someone pos repped me from a post in this thread, asking me to pm them if I needed body help, but never left a name. Im just curious cuz i need body help haha

 

well, it will be wider than stock, so you will need longer CVs. Question is, does the geometry support 4x4 to the extent that the long travel will be used to it's fullest extend? or will you be strapped at a certain amount of travel that will waste the whole kit.

Brandon,

Thank you for clearing everything up for me. From the pic you and your brother make some very nice rigs. Keep up the good work!

Yup, I got my truck because its 4x4 but part of me wishes it was 2wd so i could run the JSI race kit lol

You guys do great work it looks like. I may be hitting you up for some parts for my rig.

 

All this and more



Is your kit compatible with 4x4 with whose axels?

How many inches of travel would a 2nd gen kit pull?

Would the kit use stock coil-buckets?

What are the lift and width numbers per side?

What shocks/coil overs are they kits compatible with?

How consistent are the kits?

Is glass needed up front?

Is there a possibility of 2nd mount for bypasses?

 

Trey I can already answer two of your questions:

Q:What shocks/coil overs are they kits compatible with?
A: Any coilover brand would work. once you get into LT its about the length of the shock. I.E. 8" 10" 12" 14" 16" and 18" and they are all Eye tops on each end so they are universal

Q:Is glass needed up front?
A: Yes, All kits except the All Pro will require glass up front. Even with the AP kit I'd run them. ITs something you will want anyways. My friend bent his metal fender with the AP.

gracias, I was wondering about the shock length like you said tho.

 

From the looks of the picture and since he isn't using the Stock coil bucket I'd say a 10" shock. if not it will be a 8". THose are the most popular for front setups.

 

Im hoping 8 for the second gens and keep the coilbuckets so at least its reversible. Im kinda excited to see how this goes since the batch racing incident

I don't think it's possible to use lt to its fullest extent with 4x4, those cv axles will always hold you back.

How much travel will you lose with your kit and 4x4?

 

2wd Engage kit runs around 17" I think, im strapped at 15", which is what camburg and TC strap their 2wd kits
