Long Travel BS Thread

yours is a 5 lug correct? ive been waiting for them to sell that lower uni conversion seperately

 

Yup 5 lug. That lower Ball joint seems to be such a pain in the ass for both 5 and 6 lugs.

 

They just did the lower uni on stock spindle with their 6lug lt kit. I hope they offer it for the rest of us with burg or chaos kits...

 

Are Bilstein bumps good? Or should I pass on them

 

on another note, has anyone got their hands on those new dmz engine perches ?

 

Instead of running something you don't want just make a couple of these until you find a good used set.


Get some 2" tube, hole saw, tap, and bump

or pay $50

Anthony250f did.....

 

I was thinking about just using my front bumps to cycle it and weld in the cans, axle already has a strike pad. That looks cool and I have those little rubber bumps

 

Anyone know a good alignment shop in the 818 simi or Ventura region?

Someone who's can do heimed uppers

 

Who's running 30" led bars on their second gen front bumper? I got a killer deal on a Baja Designs Pro Onx light and debating on putting it on the Tacoma or my Silverado.

 

This combo was only supposed to be a temporary setup but the rear end works so good that I have no motivation to change it up and go to a hydro bump back there. I've got the large square pyramid to work as some compression bumpstop and then made basically what's shown above with the hard rubber bumps to be my true uptravel limiter.



Pinch bolts are towards the inside to make sure that if the tire does make it over that far in an unforeseen extreme situation there's nothing sharp for it to run against.




Not the best photos but it's all I have right now...

 

I have a rigid 30" in my skid on mine. But we had to move the frame horns a little wider to accomadate it,

 

You finally get your truck?

 

30" and a 20"

 

BROO LEANN!

 

Looking at used Ford 9 inch, looks like it might work for my application... Only thing I would change is the gearing (4.88 or 5.29) and add an ARB locker... Need to check if it has a parkign brake or not.

Also is the WMS wide enough? Thinking about the tacoma front end, WMS 60"~+ LT so that sets it at 67". The WMS on this guy is 65-5/8". With a lift on the front end might make it a little closer? Going to run shocks outside the frame and need the tires to clear them.

How does this look to you guys?

I bet you will be fine with that width. My 05 with a 67" WMS axle is the same width as the front. If anything, it might be a schoche wide to stuff the tires into your fenderwells, but that's nothing a sawzall can't fix.

 

Oh, I already have 7" bedsides waiting to go on

 

Factory Second Gen Rear end WMS/WMS 65"
Factory First Gen Tundra/T100 WMS/WMS 66"

I second the Sawzall idea!!

 

yes sir!



can finally start crossing other items off the list.
