Long Travel BS Thread

Pretty much everything I've read! But a good post! Especially the bit about people finding pieces optional, I can't grasp that either, why install something designed for the truck but leave critical pieces out, or swap pieces around to fit something you want when it wasn't designed that way.

 

does anyone know if total chaos shackles are supposed pair up a certain way? Mine are crooked as shit and then i set them on a flat surface you can tell they are bent??

 

Yes they go a certain way lol....the top is wider than the leafs. They look like ( V )

 

Looks like you didn't put the hanger on straight. Looks like the shackle is already rubbing the frame

 

okay im gonna work on it now. mught be the angleof the picture the hangers are pretty straight and theres no rubbing

 

Mines not even close to rubbing but when you flex/off-road it rubs lol

 

hell yea!! got them all dialed in now haha i was working in this yesterday and it was pretty hot so i think it was messing with my head its pretty obvious how they are supposed to go

 

this looks a little better hahha

 

Why are the shackles vertical at ride height ?

 

not vertical but definitely need more angle it was jacked up a little in the pic

 

As long as it doesn't go backwards at full droop

 

no full droop still stays positive when i buy new leafs ill have to redo them though.

 

any body know the torque spec for ubolts?

 

I usually do mine right around 85 or so

 

foot rest/ place for the passenger to lock their feet in but I dont think it will last long unless his passenger is like 5'. fitting 4 buckets comfortably in a caged DC is not an easy task. My back seats are tight already, and Jason who is only 6' tall was pretty uncomfortable in the front seat of my truck all week in Moab

 

That's what I figured. Thanks!!

Just need some clip in snowboard bindings now! Haha

 

Might want to put some grip tape on that, or have your shop dimple die a few more holes flared the other way.

 

cheap lightbar mounts DO NOT stand up to Pismo lawn darting lol....had to make beefy ones

 

Here's my dilemma that's been ongoing. So, most of us get the remanufactured Tundra axle to put in our Tacoma LT kits. This is my 6th axle and it's on the passenger side. I admit, about 5 of those were because I was lunching in 4-wheel drive with my turbo. I stopped doing that and haven't lost one until now. I found another style of tundra axle. It's in the picture. It is not like the old reman or the one with the clover tripod. So I don't know if I need to cut this one down like we modify on the remanufactured ones. And the Porsche boot seems way too big on the one side. I'm about to just drop the 1k on the beefy chromoly axles if this new style I found doesn't work. Are those expensive ones warrantied? Also will they hold up to 310whp?





It has some sort of dust shield on it unlike the other ones?
