Long Travel BS Thread

Couple celebratory pics of my beater. It’s coming together.

 

Pre-mature celebrator haha. Guy flakes on me. Oh well the search is on!

 

You’re cycling 17” on a total chaos mid travel sua? Total chaos claims 12”. There’s no way you can get 17” on the set up. Got one one the kibbetech tape measurers ?

 

The TC sua pls a lot like the defined kit and that kit was pulling 12” on a good day.

 

Thing looks awesome. Really digging that front bumper

 

Yeah I thought it sounded off as well. 13-14" is believable but with the stock mounting points it is going to be tough to pass 14.

 

Thank you!!! I call it the rough draft. Tried some ideas for something we will be doing a full design and manufacturing of later this year.

 

What do you count as "too expensive?"

I’ve done two defined kits and both pulled like 12” with no shocks LOL

 

I have a Defined SUA bumped at 14". Metal to metal is 15".

Surprised at 15” metal to metal because mine and my buddies was 12” metal to metal.

 

Yep, and I have nothing to gain from exaggerating the travel numbers. I was one of the more skeptical members when Defined was starting to sell these back in the day. This is also with a 10.5" Tundra axle, that has 3.5" axle tubes. You can add 0.5" of travel on a stock Tacoma axle.

No funny tape measures here:

 

EDIT: went back into my old build thread


13.5” metal to metal 13” strapped

 

I get like 10" of travel with the tc kit because the springs are so effing stiff. That's even with 3 leafs taken out. So I finally ordered a dmz kit the other day. I wish I never wasted my money on the dam total chaos kit.

 

Yep I have my relocated 12s and Im pulling about 11.5 inches. No way with the stock geo like you said can you cycle 17. I know when I was doing my homework on the kit back in the day, TC said it gets anywhere from 9-12 inches max of travel if you relocate shocks.

 

Dude you are listing it? Aye, I love that ride!

 

Does anyone know who makes this roof light cage? Tried searching and can't find anything. Wondering if someone makes it or if it was custom. I took my led bar off my roof because every hick in the county has one now and I want something different.
