Long Travel BS Thread

Definitely. Just speculating on my own over here.

Well if the A-Arms have the range to accommodate the 28 Degrees CV's then LSK could potentially offer two different CV/Axle setups at different price points depending on the clients budget at the time.

 

Anybody need 2.5 x10" Coilovers for cheap.

The beautiful thing about Toyotas is that they are a great platform to build an easy bolt on LT. Trying to over complicate all these kits just takes away from the simplicity. In order to get all these extra 3,4,5 inches of travel, its going to pretty much double the cost of doing a front end, and you still have a truck under powered to push those kind of travel numbers. Ill take a kit running 13-14 inches with a secondary shock all day long over one that I have to cut the coil bucket out of, build an engine cage, etc. Not to mention, the quality of travel over 19" on a bolt on kit is going to have alot of negative compromises.

Spend the extra money on the rear suspension, it will yield you far better results.

Im not trying to knock the people building something different, but most people in this industry want the most bang for you buck. The wider you make these front ends, the more it magnifies things. To do it right, you really need to hack off the upper arm mounts and relocate all those as well.

 

I'd take a kit with 19" of travel with secondaries anyday over a kit with 13" and secondaries..just saying

 

Battle at Primm last year in my truck with leaf springs if anyone's bored

i don't think you're getting what hes saying...maybe reread it again...toyotas and the K.I.S.S. rule go hand in hand

 

Given the same stock power plant, i'll be faster with less travel. And be into the front end half the cost. (Based on number s from a customer stand point that cant fab and install on their own. )

 

Of course a 4.5" over kit wont be for everyone, but it is another option out there for people who want it, and it will be priced very competitively. LSK's ultimate product for the Tacomas is their race kit, but they want to have a full line of bolt on products also so they are not limiting themselves.

 

haha at least they're good sports about it.

 

We're also going to be working on some cool bolt on rear products such as shackle set ups and possibly shock towers, but all to spec.

 

Damn you guys are doing it BIG!

Wish I knew some local peeps willing to put the work in.

 

Just some coilbucket gusseting, the overspray of paint is making the welds look shitty haha.
And custom made shackles.

 

you can ask LSK to modify their spindle to accept a uniball as opposed to an adapter, shouldnt be that hard to do.

 

I dont think its the paint dude

 

lol, just a bit. I tried doing some nice beads.

 

Turn up the power and move slower. You'll be amazed at what 20 min of practice with the right voltage and wire speed will do for your MIG beads.

 

There will definitely be a lot of demand for stock spec Tacoma spindles since people break or bent gusseted spindles quite often now.
