Long Travel BS Thread

Same one!

 

Is that the same one that was hacked together in its original build that was done in SoCal?

 

Yup!

 

Is the FJ running the stock rack?

 

I believe so, I got an email back from Jeff Howe today regarding this actually, were kinda SOL when it comes to having someone build us anything stronger. I'm going on #4 in under 100k, all of which have been since I long traveled it.

 

Kinda..It got doctored up a little bit by a local company here. But on Toyota's there is not much to do to them.

 

I plan on designing a swing steering setup at some point using a steering box and ram assist.

 

Need a guinea pig? Lol

 

Id kill for a beefier steering setup.

 

So my front end lifts up really bad and its hardly drivable. Any suggestions?

 

more details?

 

Well i got it back for allignemnt and tge front just raises to the point it sucks driving. I have alot of preload because it was sitting low at rest

 

so...take off a lot of preload?

or you mean it rises up when you drive?

 

It rises up as i drive down the road

 

Ahhh. Interesting. Is that from too much hp? haha

Or no front diff?

jk

I am going to let someone with more knowledge answer that for you. I think it has to do with spring rate but im not 100% sure..

 

ahh maybe pressure too..or valving for sure.

 

Valving isn't the issue. Sdhq said that it isn't valving. Maybe nitrogen. Or a but too much preload.

 

If its lifting when you are just driving around on the street they probably didn't set your alignment right. I'm guessing your toe is off. A arms can do it but I beams are notorious for this

 

So much this^^^^^^. When you go in reverse it lowers down. Your alignment it off. Take her back.

 

Since the lowers are not solid did they even touch the upper heims ?

Also how much caster did you get?
