Long Travel BS Thread

I hear grinding when I turn. Then when I straighten it back out it stops. Is there any way I can test it by hand?

 

yea. Jack the truck up. spin the wheels by hand and turn them. You'll feel it.

 

It only happens when I'm in 4x4. I forgot to mention that.

 

What kind of surface are you on?

 

so do it in 4wd..just gotta get the whole truck off the ground.

 

Gravel / dirt road with some snow.

Will do.

 

Alright guys got a Currie 40 spline full floater with 2.5 hubs, need some advice on brake options, definitely don't need the wilwood 4 piston kit that goes for around 700 bucks. Anyone know any other brake kits for 2.5 hubs? Looking to spend around four hundo, I think a 2 piston or even single piston caliper would be plenty. Only running 35" tires

 

At this point you put the 4 piston Wilwoods on.

You don't put 87 octane in a Ferrari right? That 40 spline Currie axle needs real brakes. #TT status

 

But... But... Ya your right just wanted to know if there are other options. My knowledge of floater rearends is zero and can't find much info

 

You will need to use the smaller Wilwood caliper. I had to downsize my caliper because my Toyota brake booster couldn't push enough fluid for the first caliper setup I had. I will try and research which one I had to downsize to on my 2006 Tacoma.

EDIT
I found the info from my old truck build. I was running 1.75" 4 piston Wilwood calipers and went down to 1.38" 4 piston Wilwood calipers and they worked perfect. The truck stopped on a dime with the smaller calipers.

 

You could gm calipers for $30 a peice. Will woods are about $150 ea

 

So gm calipers with wilwood rotors and make my own caliper brackets? The rotors I am getting are 1.25 and 12.19 dia. This is the only thing I can find that I'm considering runninghttp://www.currieenterprises.com/CE-6014SL4K35

 

That kit is exactly what I was running. I had 2.5" Blitzkrieg full floater hubs and Wilwood Superlite brakes.

Cages save lives. Sucks to see such an awesome Taco get wadded up.

 

Damn that was such a clean truck. Sounds like they came out pretty decent too which is good to hear.

 

wow that sucks

 

Glad to hear everyone walked away!

 

Just another reason why a cage is always an excellent idea when you start speeding up in the desert. Glad they all walked out with their lives!

 

Sucks indeed. But man they pushed that truck hard so not super suprised I guess haha glad everyone was okay. Good job on a strong cage trac.
