Long Travel BS Thread

I'd say so haha

 

id have to say the same... hahaha.

 

That is the whole reason I didn't jump on his kit last night when he posted it. My MT front end is already miles ahead of my rear so the rear is getting done first.

 

Only reason im doing the new kit is because it was offered to me. In the end, I will only be out the cost of some new 10s. Rear LT will come. Plus I don't abuse my truck as much as most of the LT guys do as of now so Im in no rush.

 

naw.......racetruck

 

why upgrade if something works fine the way it is.


i think youd find more fun if you did the rear first rather than the race kit up front but again, its not my truck.

 

He's getting a FREE race kit…. (minus cost of coil overs)…. I mean can anybody here honestly say they'd pass that up?

 

Since it is free, then yes there is no reason to say no. That wasn't made very clear at first though. haha

 

free??? shit i want a free race kit.

 

"Abuse" ....

 

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to have that wide of a stance unless I could dedicate the truck to a permanent dessert toy and had a shit ton of money to throw at it

 

And HP to push the travel....

 

You're crazy

Then again, this is coming from someone who fantasizes about one day turning my truck into a purely dedicated race truck… And that same person who doesnt have any sort of long travel at all yet. So my opinion might be different from yours.

 

I personally would love my tires to touch both lines while driving, legal is my only limitations

 

Lot's of leverage to twist your frame rails even more than a normal 3.5" kit already does.

 

Depends on how much chromoly and gusseting is involved, if it's being built to be like a trophy truck you should equally strengthen it.

 

I'd rather center mount than be as wide as a lane.

 

Center mounts are still over 96" wide...

That's BJ baldwin's trophy truck, made to blast 110 mph through the desert…. Its suspension is extreme in every sense of the word. There are tons of center mounts out there that aren't that wide.

My question is… Has anybody ever center mounted a tacoma? How would you do that with the engine? I'm guessing you'd have to engine swap and stuff it into the cab as much as possible
