Long Travel BS Thread

I had no noticeable amount when running my setup as the standard DMZ kit. Nor does @Coot83 after I fixed his DMZ setup. And I’m pretty sure @Sixthelement didnt have any noticeable amount with his jd kit on this old truck.

Now my new setup with the 14” shackle has a ton of wrap hence the added anti wrap bar.

 

Why the F is my rear toed in lol

 

Bent housing. I chased poor handling for years until I looked at the rear numbers and saw the thrust angle and toe was off. Replaced the housing and it's 100% better.

 

I've seen much worse thrust angles just looking at other people's alignment sheets on TW

 

Im in the same boat. My rear end lifts so high when accelerating . But it's probably because I had 0 weight over the rear end as well.

 

It's likely not a big deal. My baseline is that if it causes feathering on the rear tires, fix it. That such a small amount, that you could very quickly fix that by heat cycling a strategic point or two with a torch.

 

Back in the long travel club. Little bit different this time, in the form of a Citroen 2cv!

This little rally car boasts 29 horsepower, and an incredible 13.4” of wheel travel! I’m currently fixing the brakes and the carb, but I’ll post back once I get it on some speed bumps and on some dirt.

 

Got the rest of the tube to mount my bedsides

 

All of you guys are making me really want to get my kit on the market. I don’t have any of this BS anymore.

 

I think it's a sign....

This is a good example

Mine used to be so horrible with the previous setup that I was afraid to take off too hard from a stop on pavement. I really think the manual transmission amplied it a ton too.

But seriously, it felt like shit was going to break.

I have a very very small amount of wrap still, but it’s not even comparable to before.

 

That's insane. I thought sua reduces axle wrap. Not sure if pinion angle effects axle wrap, but even if it did, mine replicates stock angles.

 

My truck SUA 100% has less wrap than our other Tacoma SOA with u402’s. So I guess the theory of less wrap is true in some cases.

 

Weird...kind of disappointed in my kit

 

Get out and use it. Idk anybody that hasn’t liked their DMZ kit.

 

True that

 

If the only con is some wrap I'm good. This truck is fricken plush and plants well in the turns. No loss of confidence and it took a 3 foot drainage ditch like a champ today. I get why people run a HD leaf pack though. I can't imagine this thing hauling any weight.

7.5 inches to bump stop pad to axle at ride height. So...9.5 inches of uptravel vs my previous setup of 5.

Still has the same amount of droop as before which will be nice.

 

Fuuuuck as much as I like seeing updates like this, I hate it because it just makes me wish I was driving my truck
