RCLT HD 2.75" - Travel Numbers and Notes

On a laptop now. You are getting close to grasping my point, I'll use this comment instead of the other one.

Yes. I agree and have said this at least five times time now. Again you are thinking one needs full uptravel to do black bear pass. As I have also said many times, you do not. You only need steering angle and slight travel since for the most part, it's just a tight switchback dirt road.

This is on you. I never once said you get full travel on the RCLT trip.

Agree. I also already posted at least once I agree with you on this point.

Go sit in your truck. Start it. Turn the steering lock to lock. Simple concept. How much does RCLT reduce the steering? I can't remember and I'm not going through x pages to find it since you seem to know the answer already. I'm willing to bet it's less than I lost with just my long travel kit and tire clearance.

Finally..my point...for what the 20th time? The only benefit I liked from the kit is that it pushes your tires forward more than a standard kit. That would help me and allow me to cut less out of my wheel well into the cab. That's it. Nothing in this sentence or any of my posts say a single thing about achieving full travel and full steering without cutting. Only you and Mike said that. Well yours was accusing me of saying it, which I never did. Somehow you came to that conclusion and here we are.

 

Yep exactly. The tire placement and also the shape of the arms is a cool idea. I think the marketing part just skewed that concept into something it wasn't really.

 

This is a sorry excuse for you being either lazy or not understanding the RCLT kit.
You should want to post accurate information that isnt misleading.
This thread is about the travel numbers of RCLT, you should be clear on if your limiting travel to clearance your tires.

You stated that you didnt need to tub for 37s with RCLT, you should have been clear on the need for limiting travel to achieve that.
If we were on the thread strictly about fitting 37s, we wouldnt be having this lengthy conversation.
But people are coming here to learn, and i dislike that your posting misinformation.

Does this mean if i adjust the stroke of my hydraulic ram to 4 inches that i have full steering? Currently im at 6inches and rub my firewall with my 39s.

 

I think you’re skewed.

 

I didn't mislead anything. All I said was it was impressive that the guy a few pages back did black bear with 37's and no trimming. That's something I can't do. I didn't say anything about travel. I didn't say anything beyond that. I was simply comparing to my situation. You are the one doing the misinterpreting and therefore you are creating the misinformation.

Combined with doing black bear pass, that's correct. Again...read my comments. I still stand by the fact that installing the RCLT kit will allow better clearance for something like that road because it doesn't require much travel. I'm sorry you can't grasp that concept.

Sure. If that's what you want to do, go ahead. I feel like you are just arguing for the sake of arguing now. You fully know what I meant and anyone except you would understand what full steering is.

Anyway, this has become an absolute waste of time for me since you are just picking a few words out of my posts and then making some wild accusation of something I never said.

So enjoy yourself, learn to take the internet a little easier, and have a good weekend. I won't be replying to anything more from you.

 

Skewed how? Regardless if you like the kit or not the arm shape and tire placement are a newish concept. Unless there is another kit that does that? Please share it because I haven't seen one.

 

Thanks!

 

No, not the kit. I mean you are skewed.

 

Yep did say it was impressive, and i disagreed, saying it was easy when you limit uptravel.

And thats how we got on the topic of uptravel.

Maybe you shouldnt have 37s if your gonna complain about how much they rub offroad. Your either lazy or incapable of doing the necessary modifications to clearance tires for a LONG TRAVEL setup. If your not worried about travel numbers, only tire clearance, theres some great drop bracket lift kits you can go buy. But this kit is marketed as a LONG TRAVEL kit and should be discussed as that, not a mid travel with wider arms.

 

I think this thread he started is too recent for him to be looking into 37’s.

 

Guys. In the conversation concerning fitting 37s we/I was specifically responding to having 37s and being able to turn full lock on Black Bear Pass. I have not tubbed my inner fenders. I am however limiting my up travel because I don’t want to cut any more outer fender.

I should of chimes in earlier to set straight the 37” fitment. The switch backs are hella tight, I am on 37s and no inner fender trimming was needed. Even on flat ground 37s rub somewhere on any other LT kit… that I am aware of. I have zero rubbing anywhere on limited up travel, which bump is set to 2”

hopefully that will settle that, this is otherwise a very helpful thread I hope can move on.

 

You can tell that is a 3rd gen forum thread just by the amount of stupid in just 2 pages. Now I know why TCbob told me that I need to stay out of the 3rd gen forums back in 2015....it hasnt changed

 

Yeah.. I read the first couple of responses then quit.

 

Ah got it. Well thanks for the compliment either way.

 

Last I checked, stock crew max Tundra’s have no problem on Black Bear lol

 

I’m only complaining about rubbing on mine because I haven’t tubbed it yet. I wanted to get my tires and suspension done first so I didn’t have to do it twice.

 

I’ve actually had 37’s for four years now? Nice to see you have the skills to look though someone’s post history though. That’s pretty cool. I could have linked you to it if you would have asked.

Anything else you need to know?

Also I’m impressed you cared enough to go through my post history and found something to share with the group.

 

Never said it was a hard trail?

 

Probably why I posted it to see what they all said and never bothered coming back.
