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

Is there still a SUA version of this yet?

 

I figured I would be sad doing pivots and bolting the stock arms back on the truck but it sounds like this is the way to go. The truck does get used when I take it offroad so I’d rather do it right the first time lol.

 

Funny you should ask... I’m putting them together as we speak

 

I can't wait to get my hands on a set of those. I'm so tired of my bed bumping my cab so often

 

Looking forward to seeing these in action!

 

You could go either way. But at least with the pivot kit, it would be a big job done and out of the way. For the longest, I didn't weld gussets out of laziness and ended up seeing all the fractures that could have gone wrong. I get it LT would look cool instantly but you break your shit, you're not cool. You're just another joe schmoe that someone needs to save lol. I wouldn't fault you if you went LT first. We wheel and want to have fun doing it.

 

I’m definitely doing broke boy steps lol but the more I think about it I’m pretty sure the pivots are the right thing to get done first. That and the gussets atleast. Then instead of putting on arms+axles with no shocks I can just buy all that at once and be happy. I should just open a credit card and buy it all at once… I added everything to my cart that I want to do and got scared because then this truck is a $60,000 tacoma worth 20k at best

 

do you have proof of this too??


Mine doesn’t happen often, but it happened bad at least once!

Edit: don't know why picture directly from phone is rotated, oh well

 

Yup. Looks just about like that. I'd like it to not do it again lol

 

If you got it that bad you may need to straighten your frame before you can fit/install the JDFab braces

 

Mine's already been on the frame table, but that gap hardly changed when the frame was straightened. I'm sure the frame isn't perfect, it is probably noodled/bent every which way, but at the reference points, it is at least better than it was LOL. If I ever get the braces, I'm sure there will be major fab involved for fitting, and at that it might not even be possible given I have a LRA main tank that I WON'T be getting rid of, it fits practically snug with the frame... as well as MobTown full length bolt on sliders that would clearly interfere with the braces, so all of it would need to be fabbed in all sorts of ways.

 

Interesting post in the 3rd Gen forum.

 

im not sure about that... the OE spec ones vs the LT ones I seen the actual shock body on the LT one is actually longer too

 

damn 3rd gen owners....lol.....yeah thats definitely not how that works..... even the extended travel are longer bodies....

 

Guess he forgot to measure rod length and actual rod travel; to see the difference.

 

nvm the 2-4” of travel difference

 

Guys claiming its 7.5 inches of travel lol

 

That must be with the rubber on.

 

That’s what she said

 

Shhh...just let him do it...I want to see the look on his face when he actually cycles it and realizes his rod is bottoming out in the shock body and that he still has OE travel #'s with his LT kit
