Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

@81Trekker what are preliminary travel numbers looking like? Is it making use of that axle's extra articulation compared to a stock CV?

 

The horizontal uniball limits the travel to 12.5” but because the CV allows for more drop out the travel range has been changed. The truck now sits right in the middle of the travel at ride height and bottoms out sooner so the 35’s don’t smash into the core support.

We have been playing around with a vertical uniball and can easily get a few more inches of travel but the steering angle is reduced over stock. Still not sure on which one I like better. Just trying to get the lower arm pocket tuned in at the moment to clear the CV. The ground clearance gained with this setup is pretty wild

 

This just keeps getting better. Keep up the good work.

 

Thank you... I haven’t had any time to work on it in the last two weeks but I’m back on it

 

I'm definitely interested. I believe Jesse shipped my LCA mount setup the other day. Though our border is closed, and all of our businesses are shut down (including mine) due to this covid-19 thing, so I don't know when I'll be able to do it. I have the time now because our business is closed, but can't get the parts! augh!!

 

I can confirm that he shipped your parts... hopefully they make it through ASAP!

 

Wow. Amazing work, I just read through this entire thread. Definitely interested in getting this kit to run 35s without having to do much trimming. I already did a body CMC, flattened lunch weld, etc to clear 34s (285/75/17) lock to lock full cycle months ago. Don’t really want to cut more. Any issues running this kit with more preload on the front King coilovers do you think? I doubt it- wanting time keep the truck level with my rear suspension which is 3in lift in the front

 

Got one burned in today

 

Zero issues with preload... that’s all up to you. I run mine with as little as possible so the truck sits low

 

I'd vote for the horizontal uniball, doubly so if you're going to put it on a fabbed spindle.

 

Any other votes??

 

And FYI that’s the bottom... the top will be shown off tomorrow

 

I would vote more travel as well. Paired with a tundra rack which gives limited steering angle anyway, and it will be perfect

 

Finding this thread isn’t helpful! Gonna be on the wish list for one of these kits once I need to buy new tires.

 

Still haven’t seen the steering solution @81Trekker and jd fab have up their sleeves. Maybe it’s a better solution than the tundra rack and maintains steering angle?

 

They were making threats about a swing arm setup, as I recall, so possible.

 

It’s going to be a custom slide rack
