Long Travel BS Thread

yea i know...that is center mount...look at it..

 

That's more on a narrower mounting point, center mount shares the same piece of metal on opposite faces, he still has over a foot between mounts, not saying it's bad, just not a true center. Looks like he just added lower brackets to mount to under the engine

 

You're talking center mount arms

You're talking center mount diff

Different things

 

Eh, same idea one is just 4wd and one is not. haha

 

Lol thanks conman, I was lacking vocabulary and brain cells. Is it just me or does his suspension look max droop at ride height?

 

that would explain it.

 

that shot isn't ride height.

this is ride height.

 

check out the big ass heim in the spindles too...and the steering looks maxed but the lowers and cvs look ok

 

It's that spindle 2mm from the tire that's throwing me off

 

I think center mounting a-arms is for prerunners only.
Even if you had a center mount diff, your a-arms would still have to be mounted the same distance apart as you cv's. Else they won't keep parallel throughout travel

 

It is 100% 2wd, but 4wd is pretty non existent in desert racing

 

What? Are you insane?

 

When you center mount the diff you can add a couple inches or so to each arm length without widening your stance at all. You may not gain as much as center mounting the A-arms on a Pre-runner but you still gain some.



That is a pic of the front diff. it is offset to the drivers side. If you center mount it you can remove the part that says remove (I actually found that pic on the internet on the first search haha) and add that much length to you arms, it is something like 6-8" IIRC. Although it would require a diff designed for center mount.

Assuming that is 8", you could run A-arms that are +4" over and still have a factory stance. haha You could then run +7.5" arms and be the same stance as you guys currently running +3.5" kits.

 

Google Ultra 4 Racing. Look at Shannon Campbell's rig

 

I was gonna say. All KOH rigs are 4wd. haha

 

what do you guys thing? rear feels much better but still..ehh

Sorry I feel like ultra 4 is geared more towards crawling so in my own mine the are separate, let me specify, trophy trucks are 2wd

 

For smoothies? Looks good to me

EDIT: Your friend sounds like he has asthma lol.

 

There's a yellow 2nd gen somewhere here in SoCal, my friend Tom just did Mojave Rd with him and some other highly built Tacos.

The rear on that one is IRS, VW style.
