Long Travel BS Thread

dude yesterday at my work i saw a dude and i couldve sworn it was you he even complimented my truck outside, do you have a twin we dont know about?

 

all good no worries

im getting so impatient without my truck!



i want it back so bad.. im so bored when i have nothing to do for the day.. i dont know what to do since i have a car that has 2 inches of clearance lol

 

lol this car has over 300k miles on it im not touching a dam thing. everything is probably so fragile lol

 

I say just go through the dez at speed. It will auto clearance anything that hangs too low

 

That sucks. My visors are basically just dust and dirt collectors.

 

Would a set-up like this be considered long travel and would you be able to use your stock fenders with this set-up if you were on stock tires for a 2010 tacoma?

Fox 2.0 pro serie emulsion coil-over w/ a 5/8 shaft at 8.5" travel
King springs w/ a 600lb rate
Bilstein 5150 in the rear w/ 8.5" travel

Not sure which leafs to go with yet.

 

you wouldnt need fenders with that because you are not extending your uca and lcas

 

That's not lt...lt is new uppers and lowers

 

That would just be new shocks. Long travel is a lot more $$$$

 

Shock travel and wheel travel are two different things. That would essentially be stock travel numbers but with better shock performance.

 

Another stupid question:

Pros and cons between linking and SUA?

And yes I have been reading, just a lot of info around.

 

Cost of fab on a 4 link is much more. Also 4 link you have to get a fuel cell.

From what I have read a properly set up SUA with triple bypasses at 18" will outperform a front end with around 13-14" of travel. You have no weight in the rear vs a motor in the front. So unless you are going custom monster in the front you would not be able to see the benefits of 4 link

 

to add to what jd said..

your travel numbers are way heigher, have the benefit of running a coil over and a by pass shock

ground clearance is less because of the links.

 

I bought the truck thinking to myself that its going to not look anything like is did off the showroom.

 

crazy body roll with links, it'll be scary driving on the streets

 

really? how much more than a SUA?

 

Even with a rear sway bar?

 

you will have to run a sway bar for DD
