Long Travel BS Thread

I'm running the F55 pack and my rear out performs my front TC LT kit. The F55 and the F67 are long travel springs. I've heard of guys pulling 19"+ wheel travel with 12' shackles over the frame and F67 packs.

 

I didn't even click on the link but my guess would be one is made in india and the other is made in so cal.

 

Haha very true...well, looks like I am going the deaver way... So I have a set of 16" 2.5 fox shocks bc I got a screamin deal on them. What are my options as far as best travel with still keeping mostr functionality of my bed?

 

Wow that's a lot of travel... And cool thanks! I think I knw what I'm going to do.... And I take it I need to remove my bed in order to install thopse shackles ?

 

I can't vouch for the current allpro springs but I know engage still sells the old allpro 50T pack and it's made somewhere overseas. Deaver as far as I know makes their springs in house. It's been a LONG time since I've been to their shop but at least I know they used to make all their stuff in house by hand.

You could do a pretty basic bedcage for those shocks that hugged the edges of the bed leaving most of the center area open for use. Pretty commonly done.

 

19"+ is pushing it I think. Between a slight negative arch at bump and your leafs seperating at droop, there's only so much travel you can pull. For the F67's, I'd shoot for 18", maybe 19" if your setup is peferct. All the 62" leafs will be limited by this.

How much weight are you going to have in the bed? If not much, then the F67's will be fine. If you're thinking of having 2 spares, extra fuel, random stuff, then look into the H70 pack from Deaver or the 50T pack from Engage Offroad

 

Yeah those are both lt springs....but both links you posted aren't.

 

Yeah if you wanna do it right you gotta take off the bed during install.

It's only what I have heard. I am pulling about 17" with my F55 pack and 9" shackle through the frame.

 

Took a short lunch and got to play with our fork lift

 

X2

 

Drool x3

 

does anyone know if a 2002 tundra axle would work on my 02 tacoma. i know i would have to move the spring mounts and everything like that but is there any major conversion i would have to do like a custom drive shaft?? also the tundy axle has a locker and my tacoma didnt

 

would i be able to utilize the locker on the new tundra axle?

 

Just a bit of droop ha had another few inches but my jack and 2"x4" didn't

 

HOLY DROOP! ^^^

plus your linked out back??

damn man. sick truck

as jason said..should be able too as it would have to be an ARB or Detroic or Lockrite.

its also 3'' wider or so.

 

damn.. haha. thats some travel.
