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

Pretty sure Harry told us @@kasnerds towers flexed almost two inches past bump when he tried to play Ivan Stewart

 

Free extra travel? And here I am, about to take that away. I spent like 1500$ per inch. I wonder if I’ll get paid 1500$ per inch taken away now….

 

What’s the best way to counteract that flex? Tower brace?

 

Cage front to rear.

 

@snowsk8air2 Something else to add to the list when we can rip apart my front and fix it.

 

Can someone explain what force is causing that when the coilovers are not installed? Is it simply from the force pushing on the UCA inward? I had thought the coilover force, when compressed, is what does the inward flexing of the coil bucket... evidently there is flex prior to that as well...

 

Bump stops are twisting the frame. With coilovers would likely make it even worse. Real world you’re talking inches of inward twist.

Basically any time there is load at the towers or bumps you’re going to get this twisting. Upper control arm also plays a role.

 

Maybe I should say minimize? I dumb obviously but I’m not sure how much of a difference the rear cage piece will make on coilover tower flex.

 

Sounds like a plan

 

@906taco you said you’re motor is out, I wonder if that would help stiffen it up a touch, or make it worse with the weight

 

Gees we have Spaghetti frames…. I hear the 4th gen taco is getting a boxed frame and 5-link rear in 2024.

 

It will be similar to the new Tundra for sure. It should also have a hybrid option

 

Again I’m stupid but isn’t a Tacoma frame fully boxed from about mid cab forward?

 

Worse with the weight and factory mounts IMO. Also, FWIW my frame is boxed front to rear. Obviously that didn’t do much for torsional twisting.

 

I’m setting up my sua with 3.0's currently my 315/75/16 are touching with a little articulation but I think it’s due to where I placed my shock mount so I’m just going to move it over a bit and check clearance.

 

Any other midwesterners riding out snowmaggedon? I just want to be working on my truck, but keeping our vehicles not buried has become priority… Merry Christmas everybody!

I may have missed it. @81Trekker any news on those rear frame braces? You were making? Still work with OEM leaf placement correct?

 

I have both stock configuration and SUA in stock. We are closed until Jan 2 and I will update the website with all the new products

 

All good. Stay closed, enjoy the time off
