Long Travel BS Thread

Ive tried contacting 2 other people on there for bypasses the past few days and no luck as well.

 

Remember there's a race in Parker this weekend and KOH is next week so people can be out of town.

 

Anyone running Camburg's Gen 1 13" long travel kit?

 

I hate how high my Tacoma sits up front, so I've been search pics of other Gen 1 Tacomas and noticed they all sit like monster trucks. Without actually pulling the truck apart I'm guessing it's due to the length of the coil over and stock coil bucket, without cutting the coil bucket out is there anyway to drop my ride height about 4"?

 

what length and spring rate coils are you running right now?

 

Mine sits low. At least to me it does. I got 600 rate springs with about 1.25" of preload on them. Let most or all of the preload out of the coilover if you feel its still too tall, try going a lower spring rate.

 

Aii, i'm running 18" 550# springs, zero preload. front ride height on my truck is pretty low. i'll get a pic for you later today and i can measure some crap for you if you want

 

Not a clue, I bought the truck as is and haven't touched the suspension at all.

Only got about an inch of preload into the shocks and that's not going to be enough to get it lower like I'd like.

Your truck was actually the 1st one I looked at and from the pics it seems to sit just as high as mine does.


If it all works out I'm going to be changing kit's so I'd like to get this sorted out before I order new shocks and springs Monday

 

Selling my spare, for caged bed thru side glass exhaust trim if any one is Intrested. 20dlls.

 

Just saw the two Solo Motorsports linked 2nd gens going south on the 15 in Victorville

 

Brandon over at BTF will be doing the finishing touches on the tundy. Thanks again guys for the info on where to go.

 

285s?

 

That's where I saw em last time!!!

 

Well next time...follow them

 

When I saw them I thought to myself, "didn't RJ say he saw them in this same place"?

 

so firestone wouldnt touch my camber or caster!! if i adjust the camber from the heimed uca will my toe go way out?? all the cams are in the middle position.

 

That sucks, yes it will throw toe off. Remember Always do
Caster then Camber and Toe always last. Its pretty simple to do an alignment.

 

i should be able to get the camber in spec...so how much does rotating the cam from the middle to all the way in actually change the camber? im gonna do this tomorrow....the home alignment thing it a little confusing to me....i know my caster is terrible, but it drove really good. Steering feels way different with heims.
