Long Travel information.

Sua up travel is not necessarily the same between all setups, from what I've seen. The springs u use and how they r setup makes a difference. Like the difference between a old clapped out leaf springs and new high arched. F55 or F67 deavers vs 50t or E30/H70 deavers. I've seen guys ( @nelson18matt and @jberry813 )with little uptravel swap to 50t and gain a lot of uptravel and some droop.

 

Are the 50t Springs fairly plush then?

 

They have more arch to them, gives you more up travel. Pretty sure when Matt switched over he even gained a bit of droop. Plush... That's gonna come down to shock valving and weight in bed etc... I would call deaver and give him specs and what u desire out of it and get a custom pack. That was my plan but came up on 50ts for a great price. Jason ha f67's and now is rocking 50ts still I belive and he carries a lo of supplies and a trailer sometimes, he may be able to answer better

 

I would personally avoid the defined kit. i don't like mine and have a buddy that doesn't care for his. Spend the extra money and don't compromise by going with the defined kit. If you are mostly gonna crawl with it you'll be fine but if you want to go fast it sucks compared to the dmz or TC kit

 

I keep hearing bad things about defined, so that's good to know. Why does it suck when you go fast?

 

Can't keep up with the front end. Definitely stiffer than I would like and I don't think it will handle the weight of my rtt very well, but I haven't mounted it yet so I can't say for sure. I wish I would of listed to everything I read that said to avoid it. Once I find the time to get my supercharger installed the next big thing on my list is to ditch the defined kit.

 

Because it's too stiff? Soft?

 

Whatever happened to Mike@Defined? I haven't seen him post anything in a long time?

 

He traded the defined for something with more travel, he's now mike@totalchaos

 

So I have the dreaded "taco Lean" after long traveling the rear of my tacoma. At this point everything has settled in and it seems as if my deavers have already sagged out (there f67 deavers) Now the rear of my truck sits really low, the front end is pretty high as is and i know when I eventually get rid of the stock coil bucket up front it will drop that an inch or two. Does anyone have an idea for the rear? Im running around 150psi in my rear shocks and thought maybe if I give them a few more PSI of nitrogen the rear will come up a little more, good/ bad idea? Anything helps

 

id suggest a new leaf pack. the f67s sit really low. allpro 50ts or deaver e30s or h70s would make it sit higher and wont sag much,

i have a set of 50ts for sale at the moment

 

What is the rear valving? I was told anything over 15 stack should have 300 psi or the shims aren't working properly.

U could have the f67 rearched by deaver. And or add another leaf.

Or like Juan said buy his 50t pack and be happy with ur new found up travel.

 

I had the same issue with the F-67 pack and went with the E-30 pack on my 1st Gen regular cab. It is similar to their old H-70 pack. Before you pull the trigger on a new pack, I would call Deaver and get their advice on which pack to run.

Does the bolt on Giant Motorsports kit work on 2014 tacoma? The kit I found only says 2005- 2008? Edit never mind it says on the top of page, but it says 2005-2008 lower down.

Engage offroad is no longer in business BTW. Shopping around for LT kits for my truck and called em' He just does personal stuff now..

 

Surprised they lasted as long as they did, the fit on some of their stuff was atrocious. I don't know how you could sell stuff that fit like that if you had Even the smallest amount of integrity

 

@mjp2 "- Don't bother getting a differential drop on an 05+ Tacoma (LT or mid-travel)" would you mind explaining why? Thanks!

 

Are any of y'all running hydro bumps in the front?
