Long Travel BS Thread

DIY. Not going to be a lot of shops that know wtf they are doing anyways when it comes to LT.

 

Hey guys i need some input. Im redoing the front of my 4runner. Im running the total chaos gen 2 caddy kit. Im redoing the shock hoop and getting new coilovers. Is it worth it to step up from 8" coilovers to 10" for the dual rate? I havent bougjt the coilovers yet but the cost isnt much of a differece. Is it worth it?

 

Not really from what i understand unless you have a custom kit that pulls more travel. Otherwise just a lot of fab work for no travel gains.

 

X2 you won't gain really any more travel. You'll have a slight benefit with the dual rate. My buddy did it in his dirt king kit because he wanted an engine cage to firm up the frame and ditch the coil bucket. Also he didn't want to run a bypass at least yet. Hope that helps.

 

I know i won't gain any travel but is dualrate worth it?

 

meh. on a 10" shock, it's not a 'true' dual rate. the secondary spring is so short its usually compressed at ride height so you're using the main spring always.

 

What he said

 

There's got to be some LT trucks on base that you can get some ideas from. still though, the sooner you become your own expert the better. Kit install is easy if you can go that route.

 

I'm selling my prerunner. $12k. It will be posted on RDC, Dezert Rangers, and TW by end of day.

 

No ;(

 

3.0s?

 

Yup. They are included for $12k

 

Lol mine will likely be up soon too...

 

Everyones jumpin ship

 

The space thing is really starting to get annoying. Harnesses aren't ideal for dd either lol...

 

NO damnit, mine needs to sell before you guys can list yours! haha

 

I feel like the only crazy nut job that wants to keep his truck.

 

I love my truck but it's a little overkill lol.

 

You ain't the only one
