DO YOU DO YOUR OWN FAB? LETS SEE YOUR CAGES/BUMPERS/SUSPENSION,ETC...

yea this thread is working out awesome im learning a ton of good stuff rite now, thanx everyone

 

Ya "jberry813" is right what we were talking about is all after a long travel kit has been installed but once you do that you will get much more travel, here are a few companies that make them, these companies also make mid travel kits, that retain stock width. ( check out camburg.com, or total chaos.com, or solomotorsports. com)

 

thanx man, but im already aware of all these companies and their kits. and stock width is what im trying to avoid. the only reason i was asking if the tundra parts would fit is because i would rather not pay the 4500 for camburgs race kit. but then again you get what you paid for when it comes to performance parts and just buying a camburg kit is probably the way to go anyway. unless i build my own, but i'd rather just leave it to the pros for now, atleast until i have the tools and know-how to mill my own race quality suspension components

 

so i guess the moral of the story is: there is no shortcut to longtravel. either be a boss and build all our own components, or just leave it to the pros like caburg and TC. like ive learned in the past, you get what you pay for with performance parts. dont half ass your truck or it will half ass you.
