Long Travel BS Thread

The dude on DR with the beamed Titan and Beamed 1/2 ton Chevy runs an old Tahoe sway bar from a junk yard off the axle... He seems to like it. Could be a cheap alternative to the bling setups of most prerunners, though it may take a few try's with junk yard bars to get what you want out of it.... Downsides are increased unsprung weight (marginal in a live axle rear setup anyways) and bar effectiveness when choosing a junk yard bar

 

I just spoke to the tech support folks at Currie. With that universal kit you do not need any mounts, the DOM tube can be welded through, above or below the frame rails. Got some better specs from them so I can try to mock it up. The arms sit all the way at the ends of the bar and are only 1/2" thick and the bent arms have a 2 1/2" offset

 

Have you talked to Andrew at Trac? That's the route I think I'm gonna go if he's willing to sell it as a kit

 

He bought a 3.5" LT kit.......



Why the f' would they even make a "2 inch" kit let alone someone buys it?

"But that's none of my business...."

 

That is cool if looking to save a few. Never thought about hooking up to the links. The ones through the frame are nice looking though.

 

Currie 36" universal kit, aluminum straight arms and custom built links and adaptors because the thin weak looking currie stuff wasn't race car enough

 

One of the guys I work with runs the Kinetik sway bar links on his truck, they look sweet

 

Evenflow I don't know why you don't post more pics of your truck, that set up is badass. Plus front kits are easy to upgrade if you ever get to the point you want to go full race truck. I remember you saying you want to use your truck more for exploring baja and surf spots and what not so seems perfect.

I find it funny that people in here bitch about the +2 or +3.5 kit, yes the 3.5 kit is awesome but some people don't want the 3.5 kit and we bitch about a couple inches difference in travel when a mid travel kit on some trucks is pulling close to what we get with our bolt on lt kits. Either way its not all about numbers. That being said if it were me I would get the 3.5 too.

Also...about to pick up my truck from paint, finally!

 

All this talk about swaybars n links makes me want to get rid of my setup lol

 

I need a 9" axle tho annd I'm poor

 

+2 and chopped fenders? Lame.



Could you somehow get the 4runner 21mm rear sway bar to work for your setup?

 

That's badass! @glorifiedwelder tells me u surf?

 

Check out the update on my truck! Got it completely repainted finally.

 

Dang looks nice, how much did it run? Same color as factory?

 

im gonna be putting my shell on my truck soon when its finished. its a first gen but it will be interesting to see how it looks. I was thinking one of those soft toppers would be bad ass

 

Thanks, Your new paint job looks sick ! You should put some of that clear bra stuff or clear wrap on those bedsides ASAP. You should also break a branch off that tree in the background and just go ahead and drag it down the sides of the truck and get it over with
