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

I do know the dust caps fit on easily to oem hubs but are a pita on dorman hubs.

 

Probably best if we talk privately on the subject, theres alot that goes into it. Everyone ive talked to has had thier own unique questions about it, i dont want to clog up a thread.

 

Anybody running a wilwood 6 piston setup with the LT kits? Any fitment issues?

 

I’ve been eyeing it but have been hesitant because of the cost but also the caliper clearance issues when the LCA. But mostly the cost lol

 

I'm running the 338mm GX 4runner Wilwood kit. No issues on mine with +3.5 kit. Are talking about the rotor to lower arm cup clearance?

 

Your issues are what has me nervous. I would really like to upgrade my front brakes but I don’t wanna drop 2k and have a mess either.

 

If you address the issue of the rack bushing deflection you will be fine. And you always have the option to limit the steering angle through the slide rack if needed.

I have done 6 piston big brakes with our kits on multiple occasions and it works great when set up properly

 

The slide rack should address that issue shouldn’t it?

 

Yes. Slide rack is tied to the frame. When it’s bottomed out, there’s no bushing to deflect.

 

Gonna be in Johnson Valley Saturday 4 to 9pm. Hanging out and doing runs around the KOH area. Im gonna bring some wood and make a fire too. If any local guys wanna meet up we will be near the KOH camp

 

Quick question. Are the tie rod extensions side specific for the LT kits?

I tried to get an alignment and the tech said the extensions are supposed to go in/out when you rotate them for toe.

just checking before I put the truck back on stands.

 

They’re not. The extension should be tightened into the tie rod end and imagine those two being one complete unit. The extension shouldn’t spin. You loosen the jam nut and turn the tie rod to move toe in and out. If he can’t bring the toe inward enough, you’ll need to trim some off of the end of your tie rod, that happened to @Dayman Karate

 

If they’re bottomed out and you can’t bring the toe in enough you may have to trim them about 1/4” like I did. I think I cut a jam nuts worth of thread off but it’s been a while. I would cut just enough to get by. Only do it if you’re at a proper ride height and other alignment specs are decent first. I believe toe is set last.

 

Thanks appreciate all the help.

Today we are prepping bed sides and the cab for primer. It’s nice having good help! Man, the excitement is absolutely off the charts.

 

Destruction has began!

 

i’ve got the stoptech big brake kit and no issues

 

that’s going to look so good, i’ve been eyeing one of the darker cement colors myself like machinery grey

 

I'm missing something here. Mounting the inner fenders to my third gen and I'm confused what this tab should be lining up with. Little help please
