Long Travel BS Thread

Curious what the horizontal distance on your LCA from frame pivot to uniball center line?

 

Gimme a minute I’ll get ya a close estimate

 

About 19” centerline length

 

Wow, no wonder why you guys are pulling so much travel. Thanks for the info.

 

A 3.5” over kit for a 6-lug is right around 17.5”

 

13.5"

Edit: Oops nm I thought you meant vertical travel at the wheel - my bad!

 

Found a nice whoop section last weekend

Think he meant the measurement from lca mount to uniball center, not travel numbers

 

So what’s everyone’s opinions on gearing?? Got a tundra axle that has 3.91 in it. Have a t100 axle with 4.70 gears sitting here. Anyone know if they are compatible?

May just regear it to 5.29 or higher. 4.10s and 35s are slow as hell

 

I hear first gens like 5.29's

 

Well it’s not a daily at the moment so I’m debating higher. I know bonzen and the TPF truck are running 6.0 Iirc

 

lowest gearing for a tundra rear is 5.29. i went back to 4.88 and prefer it, at least on the street. Still need to see how it does offroad

 

I guess it depends on how you're going to drive it. You're spinning 3k+ at 70mph in 5th with 5.29 and 35's. With 6.0's it would be 3k at 61 and 4k at 80.

 

Both are 8.4 and you should be able to swap 3rds if that is what you are asking.

Definitely go with the 5.29s. I love 5.29s even with my 33s. Especially if you are not DDing it.

 

What gears did you go with? I think my tundra has a lsd. My other axle doesn’t

 

I guess I could have measured my old kit lol ....seems right make mine like a +5 kit then

 

I have 5.29s and arbs front and back.

 

For a 1st gen*

I was just comparing generations haha

 

Just measured mine. I’m at 19” too. Man my setup is conservative. I’m strapped at 13”

 

My vertical separation between the upper and lower arms is different too which kinda plays a factor
