Long Travel BS Thread

Man you got me confused here...so if going with a 4 piston brake caliper to stay with the stock MC? I tried glancing on the SOS performance site to see if they might recommend a new MC for their 4 piston. I will probably call them later to get the skinny on their stuff.

 

No need for a bigger master with 4 pistons, it is a 4 to 4 swap & the braking power gain is strictly from the larger diameter of the new rotor.

 

I heard that deep water crossings can stop a truck dead in its tracks

 

I am quoting Tom from SOS on these “facts” about master cylinders and rotor size being the largest percentage increase. But it sounds like what your saying is that the particular 6 pots you got are overall not a significantly larger fluid volume vs oe 4 pots.

I have an 07’ T4R Limited and have the exact opposite experience. My T4R brakes like a friggin’ sports car no way in hell my Taco pedal will ever feel that good. I do have upgraded rotors and pads but just all mid price range OE replacement stuff...the T4R is bone stock.

 

Might be a different setup. I know the 3rd gen 4runner got the smaller MC and single diaphragm booster before the Tacoma did.

 

heck even within just the second gens I believe there are 2 different boosters and 3 different master cyls potentially

 

damn.

 

Does anyone on here experience driveshaft vibration and know the fix to it after having rear sua kit installed?

 

What’s your pinion angle look like

 

Would you like me to take a picture underneath? I was told my the fabricator that he thinks the driveshaft should be shortened by 1/2-3/4" because the driveshaft is to long.

 

He might be right if he's the one that installed it - you can always follow this to eliminate certain possibilities:

He might be able to change the angle but the issue is my driveshaft with my giant sua kit is binding on the center carrier because its too long.

 

and also said at droop I have 6 degrees of angle, and at compression I have 0 degrees of angle so he set it at 4 degrees at ride height.

 

Is Solo shipping the racks now or still only doing the install in house?

 

@erok81 installed one of these and didn't have any similar issues. He's got a long bed though. Not sure if that would change things at all though. Yours is a 2nd gen right?

 

Yes I have a 2008 DCSB Prerunner

 

That's interesting - did you buy the kit from Geoff and make sure it was the one made for a short bed of there's a specific kit for each bed length? I think other rear kits may be specific to which length bed you have.

 

Anyone make a fully built +2 axel?
I know you guys have made comments about the 3.5 axels
Just wanna get a fully built set to have sitting aside for emergencies and whatnot
