Long Travel BS Thread

im wishing for 33s hahahahahaha

These trucks are underpowered with 35s, going to 37s will make it worse. You would need to gear to 6.50s to be remotely useful in the desert. You will go through wheel bearings like crazy. It will wear out your trans even faster. Doesn't seem like many advantages for an extra 1" of ground clearance. Dan Vances truck is on 35s and that truck will out run anything any of us have...

 

kreeeeeeeeeeeesh, stop going for cosmetics. just run the 35s.

 

Agreed, and anything higher than the 4.88s is way too intense for a DD lol. Ill stick to 35s. Like tacokid said, I thought about it only to stuff the biggest tires possible with 2.5" of lift but I didn't think it would be that bad on all the components.

 

I wish I had 33's....

 

U should stuff 37s for a photo shoot and that's it!!!

ryan would be #sad

 

or he could run 37s on the street and 35s in the dezzzz

x2

 

456 or 488's with 33's ? not worried about gas mileage anymore, or streetablilty since its now a toy. 96 single cab 2rz 5 lug.

 

Probably 4.88's with a 4cyl

 

4.56 is fine if you're not caged in the 2rz, even higher like 4.10 would be ok with 33's.

 

5.29s if you don't care about mileage or street ability. Gets you into 4th gear more often. I've run 4.36, 4.88, and 5.29 in my race truck with an extremely built 22re, if I could go higher I would but I'm still running the T100 rearend.

 

Probably an extremely stupid question and I'm guessing it won't work. But is there any way to get LT leaf springs without going full LT on the rear and just getting limiting straps? I really don't have the money to go LT in one shot.

 

i'd really like to see what the stage 1 is capable of with the new icon replacement bypass shocks and air bump kit

 

I'd go that route if I didn't get those bypasses earlier

 

Looks like a good place to start my research. Thanks! I'll probably be asking a lot of stupid questions on here...

 

me too.... id love to work with a customer that wanted to do that combo!
i think it would do quite well , but its still limiting the bump travel unless the shock is smaller than 14.5" compressed. but you do get the advantage of the spring under leafpack and a very long lasting leafpack at that. when i was running the j-66 soa pack i was getting the springs redone every 6months or so. ive been on my same sua leafpack for about 3 years now! the extra money spent is worth it in maintenance costs alone! and less headache as well

 

wooohh where have you been?

makes me wish i kept my 97 5 lug and do that to it
