Long Travel BS Thread

Yeah. I've gots shelves full TC goodies

 

I'm a TC dealer. That's what I do

 

Might have some low mile first gen tundra / tacoma (i think) spindles for sale that I can gusset and ship to you; anyone interested?

 

Giant 64, requires tundra axle, or deaver h70/e30 with 12" shackles. there's not specific kits as nothing is bolt on

 

What about the giant 62?

 

only 65k..... unpainted glass and all lol

Shackles have to be rebuilt and it uses the f67 leafs.
others on here have not had good experiences with it, so not going to recommend it

 

So if you go the e30s and 12" shackles the 9" axle isn't needed or did you mean and*

 

Fuck mine won't even sell for 55

 

So anyone running spring over axle with LT front and happy? I am torn right now after installing my +3.5" kit up front. My rear is 2.0 12" kings after a shock relocation but they don't even come close to keeping up with the front. Micah at dsm says upgrading to a 2.5" bypass will make a big difference and my leafs are shot so I'd go with a custom pack from deaver, but i just don't know if I'm gonna be happy with that. I love the soa with u-bolt flip keeping the bottom of the axle clean for rock crawling, and the 12" shocks do give a good amount of travel, but I just don't know if it can be enough. And I don't know if I necessarily want to spend 2x as much to go sua since I refuse to go through the bed with a bed cage since I utilize the bed on a pretty regular basis.

 

My vote is to link it and be done. Look at how many guys go from soa to sua to links. Lots of wasted money in the mix

 

Yeah I'd take a ultra 4 dd that I can throw a dirt bike in the back of if it existed. I'm just trying to be realistic and justify the 4.5k vs 2k and weigh the benefits.

 

Sell your truck and buy mine. Problem solved lol

 

Links and open bed...just sayin'

 

Come out and let me test drive, but i still probably can't afford it. Trade plus $1k after I swap the S/c from mine to yours?

 

I know it can be done. But $$$ and can you still tow 6k lbs with links?

 

Yes. That's what bumps are for

 

Your a short bed right? You can link a short bed without having to get a new axle or have to backhalf it. Dmz kit is 2k last time I looked, you can get lower links and mounts that self locate for less than that so the only additional cost is bypasses if you want them and a fuel cell for four link. 3 link you don't even need that

 

Why not ? Your ass end with links is far more solid than with leafs in regard to axle roll etc and it is all adjustable IE: if you know you are going to be loading up some serious weight just droop it out and add some pre load or pop off the CO's and toss on some beefier springs.

 

It was talked about awhile ago in this thread but has anyone successfully mated a 4l80e to the 2nd gen tacoma vf2bm transfer case yet?
