Long Travel BS Thread

has anyone done a 6" lift with long travel. I wondering if I can do that.

 

Like a 6 inch fabtech or procomp lift?

 

I'm at about 5" of lift now and want to keep that height with long travel. trying to get some ideas

 

so would a body lift be better? I want to fit some 37's if its possible.

 

me either thats why Im asking. so does long travel give you a lot of ground clearance?

 

I just like the looks of the big tires. some mild off roading here and there maybe some camping.

 

alright thank you. I just love my toca and want to make it bad ass.

 

He was being sarcastic. Jason knows a shit ton!

 

You could could just do a 6" drop bracket lift and some fiberglass fenders, add in a body lift if needed. Should fit 37's on there fine with just mild offroading. Going to a long travel kit means you will have more up travel and your tires will typically rub on the wheel well more. A drop bracket lift will move your suspension travel down (like a spindle lift) rather than increasing it so you will rub less with the drop bracket than the LT kit. And not only will it be cheaper, but it should be fine for mild offroading and camping.

If you are looking to haul ass through the desert then you want LT, but MT alone can likely fast enough for most people's desires.

 

Swapped out a TC kit for one of my kits on a membera truck. Cycled 14" of travel with the 4wd

 

all food for thought. thanks. trying to decide on what to spend my money on.

 

pm sent! haha

 

Look up Username. He's running 37s with LT

 

Yep, but he did a lot of work to get them on there. For one he isn't running a bed anymore, just tubing to hold on the fenders and spares and such and he tubbed everything up front IIRC. More work than somebody probably wants to do just for mild offroading.

Here's his build thread though:

if your just going for looks..just get a DB lift and call it a day. You could do spindles too if ya want. But LT is way too much money for what your wanting sounds like
