cbechtold's Long Travel IFS Crawler Tacoma Build and BS Thread

Not sure if I'm going crazy or not... I swear I thought I saw this info but going back thru I could not find it
They covered the length on the links, but what's the coilover/spring setup? and the final wheel travel?

And if you know the anti-squat at ride height?

Truck is looking wicked!

 

Thanks man! Here's the quick and dirty run down. 2.5x14" Fox Internal Bypass Coilovers with Piggyback Reservoirs with a 14" 175# over 16" 250# springs to start. Overall wheel travel is right around 17.5" strapped and bumped. Anti-squat should be right around 90%.

 

Thanks man!! Trying to finalize my own DIY setup and this confirms I'm right on (or at least very close) with Coil spring selection!

I'm Hoping you are only running 1"-1.5" Preload with the empty bed setup?

 

My spring rates are about 2 1/2" of preload at ride height, but for trailing arms, a 175# upper is likely to light. I'll be messing with spring rates after KOH to help dial in the rear. Like go to a 225# upper to start.

 

That should take you from ~83lbs wheel rate to ~96lbs wheel rate (spring force applied at the wheel)
My Calculations show ~102lbs wheel rate is a pretty good spot for no pre-load on a lighter rear end(based on my own rr axle load and weight), I'm going to be running ~121lbs with swingout, spare 37" and fuel tank behind the axle.

are you running a transition nut?

 

The goal is likely close to 100lbs wheel rate. I do have a transition nut
