Long Travel information.

I made a video for CV axle brake down and rebuild for long travel. If you find it beneficial please post in appropriate spot.

Great video Nick! I will add Toyota CV grease comes with Toyota OEM boot kits and will have all new clips too. I like toyota grease because it has graphite.

 

Nice that works!

 

Nice vid! Man I sure my cv stars came off that easy! I ended up having to take mine to a shop to get them pressed off

 

Wrong thread my bad

Thanks for making that vid, it really helped me out at 1 a.m. while installing lt, by far the most frustrating and time consuming part of the install.

 

Sooo the more I learn the more I sweat about my wallet and radically changing the appearance of my truck which I like so much (holes in the bed, fiberglass bedsides...). I had pretty much decided to go with All Pro's long travel. But hearing about all this other work like reinforcing engine mounts etc. I am starting to wonder how deep this rabbit hole is going to take me. I know I want to build on the already great Toyota platform so I am committed to these upgrade. I need to decide whether the rear suspension will be the All Pro setup with the Expedition springs or the Defined Engineering SUA set up and their bedside supports. I am turning the corner on accepting fiberglass fenders to allow me 35" tires. Does anyone have Defined's shackle mount cross member on their truck? If so what kind of impact have you seen on the handling on and off road? I am going searching for a bumpstop thread for more info on those but if anyone wants to throw in a testimonial on a particular manufacturer that would be swell.

 

Man I'm hoping my truck looks as sharp as yours someday No Mods or can I call you Nick?

 

Not a huge difference if any.

You in MA? Where are you going to be able to use a desert suspension at there?

 

Just figured the LT would give me the best bang for the buck as far as clearances, rock/obstacle crawling, etc. over like a DB lift. Irealize the terrain up here might keep me from building a big head of steam like you see in desert videos but my truck is only a couple years old and I am not going to do SAS just doesn't make sense to me. I guess tis all about the potential capability and it seems like the LT setups maximize the great Toyota IFS system. Am I way off here?

 

Maybe a good mid travel or if u need more...the all pro lt/ or TC 2.5" or whatever it is....

 

Great informative thread. Sub'd.

 

Planning on going LT, using the All Pro kit and the suggested Fox Resi's am I going to need to change wheels/ tires if I'm running FJ Trd TT with 265-75/16? I plan to keep stock fenders and eventually move tire sizes but as for the meantime run the tires I have now.

 

Yea.. 513 5806677 text ok

Sorry for delay
I haven't been forum crawling much

 

Good info.

 

No.

 

Why not, don't see why you wouldn't be able to do that.

Now it being practical goes out the window but I think it would work. I have seen this done before with other trucks. The drop bracket uses the stock arms, LT arms are built to stock specs...
