Long Travel BS Thread

i hated it as well, i got 4.88s for my 35s but more than just the power gain dont the bigger tires put unnecessary strain and stress on like everything? (i say everything because i dont know what exactly would be involved such as transmission, differential, engine etc)

 

Got a question, if I install 4.88 on my truck with 35s would that be the same as stock mpgs and power wise?

 

not sure about the power, i dont remember how much power it had when it was stock and havent dyno-ed it but im getting about 13 city and 15 hwy, it sucks even when im driving well but the power is awesome! i feel like it probably could beat a stock tacoma but im not sure and ive never tried..

 

Damn your mpgs suck lol, I wonder why? Maybe cause with 4.88 your RPMs are sky rocketing?

 

im positive they are higher i just dont know how much higher, does anyone know stock 2nd gen rpms at like 70 mph? im at like 2600 if i remember correctly but yeah the rpms are just alot higher even on the streets

 

2800
