Long Travel BS Thread

Well i dont think its the lower ball joint that fails as much as the 4 bolts holding em in do. I talked to mcm about them and thr only thing you can attempt to do is get the best bolts you can. Not sure if true but that's what i got..

 

I reaaalllyy wish I would have went 3.0" on all my bypasses when the truck was getting built.

EDIT: And mounted shocks inside the frame





EDIT: And caged it




EDIT: and linked it

 

Why would you have preferred mounting the shocks inside the frame rails?

 

X2^

 

Hey Tcyota did you say a 3.0 pickup radiator fits the tacoma prerunner? I just got a full aluminum one

 

No rubbage, more clearance on articulation.

 

And also less effective

 

Moving them in 3" on a dd/ play truck, Isn't going to do any harm.

 

Wouldn't folks with LT worry more about dampening (ie shocks closer to the wheels)?

I do like the idea of being able to run shocks without having to run wheel spacers.

I know I could get a wider axle but I'm poor. Lol

 

The only time shocks inside the frame will perform any different is with off camber hits and articulation. Pretty much un noticeable

 

Having a issue installing my front glassworks fenders on my 05. Drivers side went pretty smooth for my first install, little sanding and love around the windshield area and headlight but the passenger side is kicking my ass. Did the same thing I did on drivers side (little more sanding and some grinding) got the door gap and hood gap perfect but the headlight area almost seams warped. Light will fit after some sanding but inboard section section is twisted up. Is it possible the glass is warped?

 

We are working on it. Busy right now with a few second gen race kits and truck builds but we will be lookin for someone with a tc of Camburg kit that we can try the lower uniball on.

 

Yup. Warped, and or typical poor fitment.

 

What's wrong with wheel spacers?

 

Says the guy who is running some haha

No wheel spacers here, but I'm running a skinny tire. I have 4.5" BS on my wheels though.

 

it works with the motor, I don't know if it fits the stock mounts or not

 

Well played. I do have 1/2" spacers in the front and completely forgot about it. They are skewered with ARP wheel studs and are not the offset type that are famous for grenading.

 

this^^ they will still be just as effective during normal up and down action. I guarantee 90% of you guys that have the shocks mounted outboard will run when you articulate the rear suspension.

 

I figured the 1/2" ones still used the hub studs instead of having their own studs like the ones in the pic.

 

are f55 leafs pretty much useless on a 1st gen? im running a 9" shackle through the frame..hanger to hanger isnt 52.5 though, its about 56"....wanting to do 12" over the frame with 50t pack
