Long Travel BS Thread

Also remember that straps stretch 10%. So if you measure 18" you will need a strap 1.8 inches shorter

 

I believe most limit straps include the eyelets on both sides but you want to make sure you account for the mounting tabs on your frame and axle

This page of the thread could probably save a few peoples, money and time.

 

My roommates are going to help but you are more than welcome to help too. It's going to be some time after 5 one of these days. I still wana see your truck too

alright that makes sense

yea that is where I was getting the 1.5" shorter, but I guess I wont really know until I measure.

the ones I am getting have em. I live less than a mile from ORW so im getting these: http://offroadwarehouse.com/products/sfID1/9/sfID2/282/productID/3767

 

He means like this. See how the mounting tabs add about 4-5" of length.

 

Engage makes a solid product and seem like a good group of guys committed to the industry, but as we have seen they just aren't on par with a major recognized builder like Camburg or Total Chaos. The geometry of their kits is off in my humble opinion which is why they sit so ridiculously tall and its been almost 2 years since its release and they still do not have an a working half shaft designed for their "4wd" kit. Camburg and TC had everything like that worked out long before their kits ever hit the market.

Long story short, Engage just isn't a Giant in the game yet becuase they are still relatively new, that doesn't mean that they wont be someday, who knows but you have to build an expansive and well researched product line then prove that it works before you can get big. That and a TC or Camburg kit retails for almost double that of an Engage kit, why would someone trade down?

If you still dont get it, Example #2: Would you Trade your 4.0 Tacoma for a 4.0 Ranger?

 

Why not do the rear then you can worry about trading ? Better idea?

 

that strap is using an adjustble clevis mount. standard straps and mount tabs dont add so much length

 

I was planning on using plain ole tabs

 

From my personal experience..they lack true business principles..

They say they are all about customer service satisfaction..well I can tell you I'm not satisfied with the time span in which they complete customer orders..

And on top of that..at least 3 separate times they have failed to provide all nessecary parts to install their products..

So if they decide to take their business seriously they won't be a major company in this industry..

But what do I know..i didnt get my business degree or anything..

 

I dunno...I broke my truck on a saturday...bad...they had it fixed and ready the following tuesday







EDIT: and i didnt even get the truck in their shop until monday night

 

DAMN!!!!! yeah id say thats more then a bump you went through!!

 

Oh man that looks like it would have hurt

 

i got hooked up good, but I found a whole bunch of prerunner spindes, i got lucky with the 4x4.

 

plus nothing on their kit broke

 

Just sharing my experience..

 

Oh dont get me wrong they make great products..but the business aspect is lacking..

 

The 4 times I've had contact with Engage they come off as assholes but i could be mistaken.
