Long Travel BS Thread

just giving you a heads up if you didnt buy their spring plates, you might have to drill out the holes in the spring plates you're using. i just bought the TC ones and theyre cut for 9/16 rather than 5/8.

 

AP plates are sized for 5/8ths, not sure why they ship 9/16ths with the plate drilled that big? The fit is much better now and when torquing down the bolt doesnt walk around in the plate hole...

 

Whoooaaaa. Mystery shit...

 

one spare a battery and a dirt bike... i love my f67s haha still need to load anthonys bike too haha

 

You knew I was talking about the AP SOA plates right? I know this is the LT thread and all...

 

I know the feeling. Fully loaded up for camping trips I get a ton of bro lean

Wow, lol they cant take much weight.

 

How many of you guys are running wheel spacers in the rear to help even up the track width?

 

Any of you guys ditch the carrier bearing and running a 1 piece drive shaft?

 

If I'm not mistaken Aaron (blackhawke) is and hasn't had any problems that I know of.

 

I have a weird axle hop feeling accelerating from 40-60 ish then it goes away and the truck is super smooth

 

All pro 1.5

I was before swapping rear ends.

 

My 4runner axle tubes are around 3.125, I remember my 05 Tacoma being the same, 3" stuff works but it's not perfect. I had to open up those ruff stuff spring perches a bit on the 4runner.
I worked on a 1st Gen and there's definitely a difference in axle tube diameter from how easy the u bolts drop in to TC spring plates.
I couldn't find a complete set of spring perches, u bolts, and spring plates that were 3.125" so you gotta use what you can.

 

any fabricators around here want to build some 89-95 2wd bj lift spindles? or know someone who makes a solid set? Don't really want to pay 350 for used fagtechs... but I will pay for quality....

 

Do you guys think a 2'' wheel spacer on the rear axle to help even up track width is excessive on a 2" over LT kit? Basically would return the trackwidth ratio to stock.

 

I would stick to 1.5" or less. Anything over 1.5" spacer wise scares me.
