Long Travel BS Thread

Oh my bad I didn’t realize that part.

 

oh well helped me blow off some steam lol

 

I'm running the Camburg SUA kit with @ARCHIVE's towers and 14" Kings. I haven't unbolted the shocks since I got it back from the shop that redid the install, but they said the springs could droop another inch or two after the shocks reached full extension.

Here's the picture they sent after they sent the bump height and had everything drooped/extended.

 

Oh, absolutely. I’m not saying it can’t be done. Most things are possible with a big enough wallet. I’m also no shock tuner. This is information I’ve gotten from people who are WAY more knowledgeable than I’ll ever be with suspension setups.

 

You said you think overbuilding is safer and easier on equipment but then recommended sticking with the 14's? Wouldnt he want to move up to 16's so its overbuilt then?

 

So far I love it. Haven't really had the chance to play too hard since now my wallet is trying to recover for the front end. It definitely put a dent and stall in my lt timeline, but it's nice having my whole bed.

 

Let me know if you’re still debating on the bedcage and 2.5x16’s
I’m about to start on linking my truck
So my whole SUA setup is about to go lol

 

When I was at King, they told me they will set up a weekend to tune your setup if you buy it all new from them.

 

Correct

 

The Archive relocation is to maximize mid travel up to 14" without cutting holes in the bed. It was not intended to mix with true LT parts (16"+ IMO). All the long travel kits move the springs outboard, using up the area where the Archive axle tab is supposed to go. If you have the DMZ SUA kit, then the Archive relocation is holding it back, I say sell the Archive kit, and put a bed cage in.
Going to LT is a lot of labor, and if you pay for labor, it is a lot of money.

 

You are correct, there is a potential 12-13" non-articulated travel with Hammer hangers and 4.5" shackle and the revised length springs

 

trigos old truck..poor thing....... somone save it, and cut all that shit off it lol

 

“Kevin, I'm going back and forth with is what to do with my rear shock system. My truck is a long travel cruiser no cage yet 1998 Tacoma 4x4 w/ Solo XLT front bypasses and air bumps. My rear is 62" sua deavers e30's and I have an LSK cantilever kit I'm not sure if I want to install in lieu of 16" bypasses through the bed on the outside of the frame w/ air bumps. I’be got 2.5 triples for the cantilever kit. My one concern is the cantilever kit won't go smooth over stuff as the usual 16" bypasses w/ my leaf springs. I want to keep my bed space, but want to have a setup that will allow me to goose it once in awhile w/o the rear bucking and not keeping up with the front.”

“The cantilever kit will work really well but they are harder to get dialed in vs the shocks through the bed. Both can definitely be comparable in performance but one is just trickier to tune.”

Key words comparable and trickier are something I’m comfortable with. If I ever decide it isn’t as good as I wanted I’ll have a much easier time cutting it off and cutting holes through my bed than going the opposite direction.

Most people that start in here don’t plan on making a bed cage themselves so the money you spend on the cantilever will not completely be an obscene amount compared to a traditional through the bed setup.

That was Kevin from dialed btw.

 

I’ve seen this truck on offer up. He’s here in my hometown.

 

wants 5k.... told him id give him 1500 bucks, but its in cali, i hate when people post to other cities.

 

He had it posted 6k originally.
Reduced it down to 4500.

I thought about it. Decided against it.

 

i would have picked up the front and rear fiberglass if he was local.

 

Did he already sell the glass?
One post he has says he parting it out and the other says selling complete. Maybe he’s just playing both sides of the fence to see what gets more bites

 

idk i just told him id take the glass if he was local lol gave him the run down on the truck and he said he was just posting for a friend that did all the work lol i was like ya ok

 

If you go the storage route I'll take that off your hands.
