Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

@Airdog Not really. That post didn't say anything about moving the ball joint forward.

 

No stock length lca unfortunately

 

this stuff really isn't designed for stock mounts, it'll work but don't waste your money. If you need a fabbed lca, you need pivots. If you have money to burn go camburg.

 

No mention of moving the ball joint forward in this post. Personally, I could care less about dual shock provisions. At that point you probably should be looking at the 2.25" kit. I just think it would be a great option for people trying to clear 35's while still running their Bilsteins, Eibach, OME, Dobinsons, Ironman, etc. Not everyone has the money or need for a full LT kit.

 

Take the time to read the whole thread then... you will find on multiple occasions he has stated he will not make stock length....period.... regardless of where you might like the ball joint to be located...but thanks for playing.

 

@Airdog I have read the entire post and I've seen multiple times where he has stated that he won't make stock length. Not once though have I seen anybody ask about moving the ball joint forward however so I figured it was worth mentioning. And he does make stock length parts - UCAs. It's possible I missed it or forgot about it in the nearly 3 years & 300+ pages. DO you remember every word that was posted here???

 

Not everyone has the money or need for a full LT kit.-Then perhaps they should not be running 35's. Why does it get expensive? Some would say it is the domino effect. If they are wanting to run the same axles, steering, shocks, fenders inner fenders etc. when they go from 33's to 35's? They need to step back and ask for advice from the professionals.

 

you're missing the point. stock length fabbed lcas are fucking stupid. if you need the strength then you need pivots too. they make a 2.25 and with inset wheels (more stupidity) you're back to stock width for whatever reason.

 

Yes.... The "Do you, Can you make stock LCA's" question is the "can I fit 33's with no lift" question on this thread.

 

Ok, I digress.

 

Its not true though. I have +2.25, with 17x8.5 0 offset, 4.8" back space wheels. These wheels are actually too inset, and I had to move a couple things because my rims rubbed on some bolts etc. This setup is way wider than stock. So wide that the police pulled me over and gave me a ticket for tire poke. Obviously my fenders are cut back further than most, and I'm missing the flares cuz they broke off, but still the wheel sticks out a solid 3" of tread per side compared to stock. Unless I'm missing something?

I get that this thread is for all the hard core guys who want to own a go fast desert truck, but I think it's lame to hate on a dude for asking a question on a public forum. Especially when half of the guys in here were hating on Harry and doubting his idea since day one. @65skyturbo is not wrong, those LCA's would sell like crazy. JD just doesn't care about making that product, they care about making sick desert trucks, which is totally fine.

I dunno, I think all the hate is very elitist and not the kind of crew I'd want to hang with personally. We're all learning and have different goals. But I've never even properly ran a truck in the desert so I don't really know anything about any of this stuff anyway.

 

Where was the hate?? He was given factual answers right away then decided to double down on his original question after he was told JDfab has no interest in the stock LCA market. If he want to ignore honest answers then there’s a distinct possibility that he may get some kick back from those that tried to enlighten him.

 

Fair enough. Just seemed like people heard "stock length!" And got into a frenzy about how he should learn how to read.

Maybe it's just me who needs to learn how to read

 

So I'll be that guy. Pretty sure Harry gave a pretty clear answer to the stock LCA thing when he really started working for JD and doing this full go with developing parts for the Tacoma, specifically when the LT stuff came out. The biggest thing is there is NO market to make it worth while. There was a DK LCA group buy that was done several months back it took months to get the # of guys I had for LCA pivots in a couple weeks, and they barely made their GB. Ours had a week to spare and I got a couple more trickle in last minute. In the group buy I just did if we offered LCAs I'd bet we would of had 2 takers as compared to the # of LCA pivots and UCAs (either for the LCA pivots or the .75 viariant). Stock length LCAs are not a hot ticket for anyone! At pretty much the same cost as the LCAs of a LT kit they don't make sense once you really add everything together. Put together a really complete mid travel with stock replacement kings, GOOD UCAs, LCA, extended brake hoses, limit straps, bump stops, stronger axles, etc. I gurantee you'll end up pretty close to the same cost as a LT kit with less travel, worse geometry correction, still strength issues at the LCA pivots, strength issues at the UCAs, and more.

Oh and this thread and MOST of the products are barely 2 yrs old NOT almost 3, that's a different company you're confusing JD with that still doesn't have anything to market.

 

That question has been asked many many times with the same answer. Which was the reference to the tire size. That sucks about the ticket we don't have those laws in my state hell with my stock length set up and wheels I'm probably poking out as much as you. I think the point of the inset wheels is that it isn't as noticeable as most guys that run a wider +3.5 kit and really aggressive offset wheels. When you do the 4.5" BS wheels that Harry showed in the beginning and the LT kit it's just a little wider than a mid travel with aggressive offset wheels so a little more you see something is different but can't put your finger on it kinda sleeperish look to it.

You should know by now that when @kasnerd has his truck at JDs he gets a little fiesty then cools off once it's done.

See my post above about the LCAs. It's a pretty spot on analysis seeing what I have over the years of the stock length LCAs.

 

God himself doesn’t wheel or know as much as some of you JD Fab fan boys.

You’re making his products unappealing by being a dick when people ask about them. This is Tacomaworld and there’s a reason he’s advertising/doing market research here. Literally 99% of people ask what tire can fit without rubbing. Shit, what’s the name of this thread?

Let someone tickle their brain without persecution. Share your insight and knowledge or don’t. You aren’t employed by JD Fab as an internet moderator to shoot down those lesser than. Just because you chose something for your truck you thought was the best and only way to do something doesn’t mean it is for someone else. Enjoy some variety.

 

Someone comes into the cannon ball and trebuchet store asking about squirt-guns and slingshots, they're gonna have a bad time.

 

Yeah but it doesn't give people carte blanche to be a dick. I'm not saying you explicitly were, and I also know it's annoying to read the same question every few days, but whatever -- people are going to have questions, some good and some bad. I ask a lot of dumb questions, and I've appreciated all the help I've gotten in response. Maybe it's time we started a FAQ post on the first page or something.

Treat people how you would want to be treated n shit. I'm going to get more coffee.

 

Guy goes into a cannonball and trebuchet store and buys one of everything. Never uses any of it. Instead goes online to tell everyone how much of a badass he is for owning it.

 

woah, this is too real for TW.
