Long Travel BS Thread

Think it's a 4.5 kit and maybe a lift spindle.

 

That's the @tacokid09 truck I was talking about. Dirt designs race kit and rear never got finished.

 

Saw it for sale in my area - TC sua which couldn't keep up with the 4.5 over kit. In this case I mean it lol.

 

I believe my truck has been “finished” 3 or 4 times now.

 

Thank you for your help and knowledge i appreciate it! I'm a long ways away but I'll be excited to get it done when the funds come. Will be looking into the ESB kit as well! I'll be excited to keep up with your build too

 

I noticed you're in AZ, there's a company in Tuscon called Dirty B Fabwerx. They make a 5 lug kit. May want to check them out.

 

Any chance there is a way to guesstimate coilover spring rate by spring thickness/number of coils? Powder coating is chipping/doesnt have any info

I might be getting something wrong because its coming up with 399lb rate... which I'm pretty sure these are soft but not THAT soft?

Just trying to figure valving and stuff out with the rest of the shocks, pulled the bypasses off up front to crack them open. Rear is WAY too stiff even with fully open tubes.

Said spring:

 

1st Gen 4x4 Tacoma Long Travel Kit, 18" of travel, rcv axles, coilover and 3.0 bypass fit. Shock towers, etc.

These are older pics,but rear is shitty Deavers (missing leaves), King 2.5 16" doubles, front it TC with Kings (including triples).

Even with 2- 32" spares the rear end was super chattery in Ocotillo. Not sure the valving in any of these. I'd like to redo the rear a little, correct the shitty- last minute stuff I did in the past, and make a trunk style spare carrier, but thats on a long list of to-do.

 

Can anyone recommend an adapter bracket or a good aftermarket slider bracket for the PRP alphas?
I was looking at planted seats or whatever the name is but wasn’t really digging their design and the need for a billion other parts

I’m running his SUA kit. He never answered his phone to give me any info and luckily DMZ stepped to help the noob before I welded a mistake in

 

Reminds me of this truck

I already have the PRP part
I just need something for the slider and base
The plantedtech was the one I mentioned not liking and the master craft ones are basically the same

but I think that corbu link might be the ticket

thank you

 

That Corbeau one looks like it was made in his back yard. You might as well bend the steel and tack it up yourself. The planted ones are nice and machine cut. Either way, you'll have to drill the bracket to center the position depending on the brand. I'm pretty sure Corbeau won't be any different.

Worrrrd

thanks for the info
Already ordered that corbeau one so hopefully it’s not to shitty haha

I have a PRP seat in the driver seat now but it’s not the same style as this new seat so the mounting brackets I already had weren’t gonna work.

I can do a little drilling and whatnot
Just didn’t want to buy a slider and a base and hardware

planted seemed to have all their parts sold separately and when I emailed them they said the 16+ brackets weren’t ready to ship yet
