Game Changing LCAs (BTFFabrication)

Also, it looks like the LCA is maxing out against the knuckle.

 

Sorry meant to say ACLB

That was from when I first installed the LCA and didn't cut the steering stop but the turning radius was really bad as it would contact prematurely.

 

Any more updates on these arms? I really want to try a set of them.

 

Any steering stop updates from Brandon?? Maybe a build update???
@XPOTRPR, could you send pics of where your tabs are set fr & rr please??
Looking at these in prep for my dirty-5's..
Thanks my Bros of the Taco for any and all info..

 

I'll copy paste what I just told @7mMike regarding them the other day.

For their intended purposes.. they are great. You do lose turning radius if you dont trim your steering stops. If you do trim them, you're steering and turning radius will be fine, but you may run the risk of over extending the CV's or other steering components in certain situation. Just do at your own risk and for what your purposes will be. Me personally.. I have mine trimmed some, but will probably take more off to gain turning radius. I just have to be aware and cautious of CV bind or similar.. which I already have to do so it's not a biggie.. just have to know the limits and which situations are a no-no. The LCAs themselves are beef tho and when paired with something like my Poly Taco Tabs.. they are solid and haven't moved.. not to mention provide the extra room needed for cleaning my 35s. The added caster from them is a nice addition as well, and makes for a more controlled feel when cornering and/or at higher speeds. The steering input is also lighter and more responsive due to the higher caster. I have my Taco Tabs set at max rear (outboard) and neutral front (center).

 

Ordered a set the other day. I guess I’ll find out in a few weeks how I like them.

 

These arms are really intriguing. I've got 35's ready to put on and this seems like a good solution, steering radius aside.

 

I’m sure steering radius can’t be horrible. It’s not like where driving a 350 inch wheelbase kenworth.

 

All access cabs are LB, no need to specify that.

 

I still haven't trimmed my steering stops. turning radius is less than it was but no big deal. Maybe a different story if I were winding my way up/down switchbacks everyday, but unfortunately that isn't a problem in central TX.

 

Yeah I agree with you. My other car is a VW Golf and the Tacoma currently has a better turning radius than it does despite the difference in length. Losing a little radius won't be the worst thing.

I just got a killer deal on the Kenda Klever tires so I jumped on it. Probably gonna order these arms and the taco tabs to avoid doing the CMR. Already bought the DRT fab CMR kit but getting it installed is nearly the price of these LCAs.

 

The BTF arms are amazing! I will be running them on the 2nd gen Tacoma build
We’re doing. The combination of our CMR and their LCA is perfect for high offset wheels and 35s. We are a dealer for them so if you’d like to get a set or have any more questions email me at info@DRT-Fabrication.com

 

Ended up picking them up after talking with you a while back. Can attest.. BTF + DRT =

 

Also protects tie rods and cvs when limiting the turning radius a bit.

 

I just installed the LCA’s today. I’m cutting off the steering stops tomorrow.

 

Just got mine in Friday!

 

Any more pics on the steering stops after cutting them ? And how you liking the set up?

 

@7mMike, bro, congratulations man. Post up install and pics along the way.
I'm gonna get into trouble when I get mine for sure. I just haven't ordered yet because of precarious reasons. Lol!!
I'm on the edge tho, as I just installed my 35's. I could use that extra firewall clearance. The steering stops seem as though rather than being a hindrance, but may save tire cuts from full turn on firewall, as well as save some CVS bind. Just my opinion tho. Congrats again bro!!

 

I’m waiting on new Dobbinson suspension and Uca’s so it will be a minute before I get them in.

 

Gotcha... Guess I'm gonna have to sale my 300 Blackout. I don't want to, but damn. These arms are real game changers, with upgraded poly bushings. Can't go wrong with that. And a common bushing. Hellzzz yeahhhh!!! Well, I still have my .308 Lol!!
