Long Travel BS Thread

X2 toward TRAC for building the cage to save those guys. my best goes out to the truck owner and passengers.

 

Could it be the axles rubbing on the springs? Mine does hard to the left only.

 

thoughts on building secondary shock hoops for 99 Taco w/ TC kit? $350+ for those seems kinda ridiuclous....

 

Sub'd for future

 

Yeah it is pretty expensive. Just get someone to bend you a piece of tube. Nothing complicated about it.

 

Pm me

 

Is the kit on yet? Let me know when your ready to do a shakedown run.

 

Got the kit on and rolling with an eyeball alignment before I left, still need to bump and strap it, get the bypasses mounted, some new tires and real alignment. I found out stock 16's have too much backspace too, so new wheels will be up soon, for now still running the spacers to clear the spindles. But all of that will have to wait til summertime when Im back in SD

Obligatory new LT pics:

 

Looks tits man. Glad it went to a local.

 

Mines almost ready to test. Shocks will be here Friday and got to clean up the engine bay compartment.

 

How are you liking the dirt king kit so far?

 

Everything was labeled neatly and the kit is going together like a dream. Plus customer service is amazing! If everything goes good Friday will be the test drive

 

Looks like dirt king will be my choice as well when the time comes.

 

I highly suggest them. Only thing is king shocks took 4 weeks to build my shocks. But turned out good because I did all the work on the fenders and built the bumper in that time

 

You have to plan for those things. Build time for my new kit was supposed to be 6 weeks. Then ordered bypasses and coilovers and the coilovers are here within 3 days and the bypasses are being built

 

I like the bumper man

 

what long travel looks like to me....

 

Yea didn't bother me to much since the truck was down anyways haha

Thanks man. Isn't to bad for about $80 worth of material haha

 

Quick question. Deaver F67 leaf springs, are the front bushings replaceable? I have the rear bushings ready and thought I would replace the fronts if they're serviceable.

 

Figure some of you in hear may know. I am curious of an average or what your setup is...

Looking get idea of the average tounge weight of LT Tacoma and a trailer. I'm in the market for a 3500 duramax to which we are going to buy a slide in camper. My dilemma is those slid ins are not light. I prefer to stay with a SRW vs DRW truck. So trying to get a good idea of the tounge weight applied. Many variables I know.
