Long Travel

I am deciding between a tc 2' over per side lt kit or going with just new uppers and coilovers. I dont go out to the sand dunes. my truck is mostly used as my dd but i like to go offroading on weekends in bear and places close to the OC. Im not sure what to go with and if all the negative things I hear about Lt are true or not. what do you think and why?

 

Sounds like the All Pro System would be perfect for you

Here's a link

 

what negative things are you refering to?

 

4WD

im curious too, ive never heard anything negative about LT

 

picking up the kit this monday should have it on within a week or so, im doing it at home with the help of socalrunner, we're putting the kit and shocks on in one day and another day weld on the alignment cams and limit straps, oh and before that i need to get my front fiberglass on, also need to make hangers, and figure out how to get the rivets on to secure the bedsides. also wanna pick up the TC spindle gussets in a few weeks as well and after that start mobbin dez

 

total chaos with fox shocks

 

fox rox^

 

well i found a deal on dezertrangers for the used kit, ended up being a smokin deal with the shocks and everything is pretty new so decided to pickup the shocks for another 500 bucks, i wanted kings but for now these will do fine

 

you gonna get some bigger tires soon man? it would look so clean

 

meh i think he died haha steven! whats poppin man! oh and what happend with the camburg stuff? i dont think i replied to your txt lol

 

pmed haha

 

not amazing but its used so its not as high as a new kit haha i just dont like spreading the word about everything

 

yeah i was looking up new prices and when i saw this used one i was like mine! haha talked to him real quick and it was mine, now just the grueling wait till monday

 

Negative things I have heard would be gas milage, taking care of the kit, the noisey sounds they make, and a friend of mine at icon says his buddy regrets getting lt and not just a simple set up. This is why I am asking people who have it, I know not a lot of you guys have the 2" over per side kit but I think it is a perfect combo for me expecially with 4wd and being my dd. My buddy and I plan on getting an older yota and building it up so that would be my truck to rage through the desert in!

 

if your planning on getting a older truck to mod through the dez with i would just go with a mid travel setup

 

shitty MPG's is a result of larger, heavier tires... not so much the LT kit itself... but when you are driving you can slam the skinny pedal to the floor and that doesnt help MPG's either

as for noise... race truck parts make race truck noises

and maitenance... everything on a vehicle requires routine maitenance...

if you plan on getting an old yota and build the hell out of that truck then i would leave your current truck stock... dont dump any money into it, save it for the old yota

 

So much talk not enough quotes. My problem right now is getting my spindle off!!!!! I have brand new wheels and tires waiting for me but because I have 4wd its more difficult getting the needed drop to get a new coilover in there. any advice?

 

To get it unattached from the UCA? Hit the flat end on the top of the spindle toward the rear of the truck with a metal hammer and it comes unattached in a couple swings.
