Long Travel BS Thread

Everything has been shipped next day, arriving within 4 days for me too. Its awesome when you're not sure what you're doing

 

Who out there knows of other companies that make shock mounts like the giant ones below...

 

Any reason they're not working? LSK, TNT Fab, BTF would be able to make them among many other places...

 

3 days left on the group buy for anyone who wants to join the long travel or upgraded stearing club: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...kker-suspension-group-buy-closes-5-31.664129/

 

Found a fab guy that makes the rack savers for 1st gens

 

More info please

 

TNT Fab on Instagram - he'll make them on any truck with a core to build from. Here's one for a 1st gen Tundra which is almost identical (but not exact) as ours - you'd just have to make a mount.

Just seeing what other options are, found some that are already cut from oddball. Just surprised theres not more out there.

 

Anybody use longer dual rate springs on the 10” coilovers? Not the 4/18” or 6/16” combos .

 

I have 10/12

 

8/14

 

How do you like the 10/12? Are you still running 500/500?

 

I'm 500/600. I like it because I can make the dual rate hit right around the last third of travel. For my kit spring rate should be right under 300, so it feels good to have it kick up at the end for when things get big.

 

I have 500/600 too but I still have about 6" of thread showing and a ton of droop

 

Flat or raised spring plate? My truck has 4 500/18” 650 with alot of preload. Curious if 10/12 is better

 

I have a good amount of preload too, but not enough to cause coil bind. I have flat spring plates. I could easily get away with 600/600.

 

Ah nice I wonder if i would need that 600/600 since im heavier up front.

 

Changing from 500/650 to 600/600 won't change your preload assuming your secondary spring isn't already fully collapsed. You might need to bump up your overall spring rate if you are getting close to coil bind or need more flexibility with your coil adjustment plate. Going back to 10/12, I do have more secondary spring choices since with a 4" I believe you are limited to 500lbs. Also I can make my secondary lock up later.

 

10" 550 over 14" 600 zero preload

 

Perfect ! I got some lower coils just need some top 10” 500/550s then
