Long Travel BS Thread

They look like wings

 

A J-arm is still an upper control arm.

 

I wanna J-arm, it must create lift if you cycle it quick enough.

 

A revalve would probably help you out a lot. NelsonMatt just ordered a new shim stack for his Icons, hit him up and see if he can help at all. "Speed" isnt necessarily truck speed, but more suspension cycling speed. Besides adjusting on the fly the only other reason you would need a 2nd shock is if you are overheating your coilovers, or the suspension "speed" is high for long periods of time, meaning hundreds of miles.

 

i already told zach to start with re-valving his CO's and go from there...

 

OK guys ive decided to link my truck again rather than deal with 2 trucks. Im allready pretty deep in this truck. any ways Im going to be dropping the truck off in july when i leave for my next deployment and Im trying to build a list of expectations for the truck. I have a decent list going but I know im forgetting a few things.

if anyone has any suggestions feel free to chime in. ill post my list in a bit.

 

BTF

get that mezzanine rear end set up

 

What shop is doing the work?

 

Engage, and I've already heard all the bashing so leave it out., I'm just looking for a list That should apply to any shop.

 

I've seen two Engage linked 2nd gen tacos. The one in their shop right now is insane.

 

It looks sick! The white one they had in there last year is what I'm basing off of pretty much want a score legal cage with links and 9"trussed rear end. Going with 12" coil overs up front so I can run a dual rate spring.

 

with links in the rear you might as well go center mount up front.

Stock mount LT arms wont be able to keep up with a linked rear end.

 

I think that's going to be a future endeavor. I'm not sure the logistics behind it if I have to push the engine back to allow for proper geometry.

 

^true story

 

I definitely want to do it just don't know what it takes to do a center pivot

 

no necessarily. It would be beneficial to push it back, but you dont have to

 

Ok right on. That might be on the list too.

 

That'll prob require an entire custom front kit then. Custom UCAs and such.

 

of course, you'd need a bulk head and custom arms, or else the wheels will be right under your engine haha
