Long Travel BS Thread

E30 was the old name for H70. Call deaver and see what they say - it’s weird to have both listed on Camburg’s page.

 

Your best bet with sua kits are Dirt King, JD Fab, and DMZ. They come with everything but shocks and you’ll need to either buy a bed cage for the dirt king or DMZ ones or make one yourself / have one made. But those 3 setups are way better than trying to piece one together for yourself. I would avoid it like the plague when getting into it initially.

 

Hammer hangers can do SUA with the right length shackle, but it's a stock length SUA, so all of the leaf springs mentioned so far would not fit.

One thing nobody has mentioned yet is that, yes, you're carrying the same weight as many here, but your weight is very high on your truck which is going to give pretty bad handling. That tent way up high is going to give you a ton of body roll with SUA. Even with my RTT below cab height, I still wanted to put a sway bar on the back before I decided to go a different direction.

 

Thanks.
How about the front?

 

Eh you can measure your hub to the ground at full compression and full droop and subtract.

For up travel / droop ratio you can use an angle finder while the trucks at ride height on the upper or lower arm relative to the frame to establish a reference angle for your arm to be at your ride height position to take up travel / droop travel when the coilover’s out and you’re cycling your suspension.

 

One of the reasons why I linked @jberry813 ’s SOA build

 

Yeah I can’t take credit for 99.9% of the build. I’m basically just the maintenance man at the moment. The shops that 89ztrain had build the truck did a really nice job, I just make some tweaks or minor add-ons here and there for now until I decide at some point to upgrade items. Next item on the agenda is pull the third and replace the arb locker seal and replace the passenger CV seal.

I basically need to throw this on the back window lol:

 

Imho, save the money and go with something else in front besides rclt, and put that money towards the rear. Stock width and any lt kit works more than fine in the rocks.

 

Couldn’t agree more

 

Didn't read your post right - thought you were already running the 2.75 RCLT @bs9488 - agree with ^^^^^^. That's a lot of dough. If you don't want to go wider than 2" or so, get the camburg, JD or this kit (more of a JD or TC preference between this and the 2" Camburg kit based on customer service and the number of guys on here running their kits, but all save you half the cost of the MC).

Other than that, just go with a 3.5-4.5 kit that you see lots of people running - it sucks paying a lot of money for boutiquey stuff that just causes headaches.

 

Thanks man, they are just the oe clamps for the brake lines. I just tapped the truss for a 3/8” bolt to hold them rather than trying to weld tabs back on.

 

everything working great! Next up I’ll notch the frame for the coil overs to finish stretching and cut these temporary shock mounts off for a real bed cage. They were just to get me to ATR since I did this in 3 days.

 

Get your shocks ready for season!

I talked to Ben from filthy motorsports a month or two ago. One of the things that came up in our conversation was how long travel was pointless in any Tacoma that didn't have a cage in it. His argument was based on the idea that a you'll realistically never out drive good suspension on stock length arms.

Please discuss

Trucks are pointless

 

WTF does that even mean?

 

“Never out-drive good suspension” perhaps?

 

Lol I had a similar reply and hadn’t sent it yet.

 

How much torque are you guys putting on pinch can bump mounts? I have pin tops, but am too lazy to redo the cans. Kinda paranoid about crushing them.

 

I think most pinch bumps have a lip on the bottom of the body that the mount sits on.
