Long Travel BS Thread

Yes Tundra or T100 Axle.

 

do the first gen tacos frame dove tail at the rear of the frame like the second gens do?

 

No.

 

Nope

 

just sucks because now i have to save up at least 1500 to re do the rear....

 

why not ditch the stock shackle and just do a traditional style


edit: thanks for answering my other question. just curious

 

Eddie & the Truck Shop tried that and I don't think they got any real gains from it that's why Eddie switched it up

 

With the Defined leaf pack? I haven't seen anyone try it but at this point I don't think Anthony wants to experiment with an unproven solution. It could work but I think you have to get new front and rear hangers along with that shackle.

Matt was saying that Built Right was gonna make longer shackles for the defined kit to pull a few more inches.

edit: Max is probably right, Matt was talking about that a while ago^.

 

Wasn't going to be worth the hassle and costs

 

Tell us

 

damn sucks you guys are having problems with your defined kits, mikes a stand up guy and definitely knows his shit, but in his communications he should have told you his kit was designed to cycle a 14" shock... bummer

 

would yal say around $7-800 is a fair price for mounting/fitting fenders/bedsides and painting to match?

 

yes.

 

Yeah it's crossed my mind a few times. Luckily for me mine was a used kit from Eddie so I don't have as much invested as you other guys.

I'm going to try to work more/harder on the tuning. If I don't make any headway by this summer it's out.

As mentioned a few times this would be a great kit to complement a sold mid travel build.

 

You'd think it would say that on the website.

 

ahhh okay. maybe i need to go measure my truck from metal to metal at droop to see what i have.

im on stock front hangers, i dont really see why it wouldnt work? but heck what do i know, im not a fabricator haha

assuming your truck is the one in your avatar, why not just buy white glass and thatll save you money on paint unless you really want it painted.

 

ever think of getting rid of that jounce bump you got back there or drasticly lowering the pressure you got in it?

 

i have white glass, it is just significantly noticeable that it is a different shade of white. ha trying to keep this truck looking "complete"

 

ahhh okay. im in that same situation as you right now.

 

Funny you say that, its in the shop right now. Getting some King 2.0 shorty's to help with the up travel.

I had to increase valving cause I was blowing through the shock and 75% of the Jounce when going through the rough stuff.
