Long Travel BS Thread

More I study the top it looks similar enough to OEM if it’s not. Would the bottom work as a spare?

 

Look for that lip
Thats the lip you gotta cut
most of the 00 and over didnt had that lip and the casing is different

 

Thanks for the help. For some reason I can’t find crap on this googling it. Is this where I cut?

 

should be the red, just the part the boot clamps on once you remove the boot

 

Nice, thanks man. Maybe the third one will be OEM when it arrives

 

We started a new Build Thread at the link below:

We wanted to share a few pics and information on a great customer and friend of ours build!

 

Yeah. Just under 60k miles on the truck. I only have 32" tires with basically 0 offset rims. I thought the stock rack would last longer.

Finally got that to load. Pretty sure @Dalandser posted that site in a reply to me and I forgot to try it on the desktop. I’m the worst

 

They make a XHD and XXHD leaf packs. Have the XXHD pack it’s super thick. Considering going down as it def does the job but almost too well.

 

I was thinking if you had the tundra rack with the offset bushings they could be slipping and not the rack jumping teeth…
But most likely the rack jumping teeth in this case

 

Put our raptor on some Deaver L84’s and some king 3.0 4 tube bypasses tonight. This thing is cash money in the rear now. Just waiting on my fronts to get here.

 

It’s all good - I pasted them in here along with other screenshots from long dead or old websites

im building my back half on coilovers right now. plan to be drivable in less than a month .

I tow a boat a few miles to the ramp almost every weekend for about 7-8 months of the year. i think it was actually someone in this thread that originally suggested this to me when i asked a similar question. i'm going to be using air shocks when i tow. i'll mount them in a way that i can just undo the axle side bolt, and swing them up into the frame when i'm not towing. these are the only two images i could find of a similar setup. first photo show the air shock mounted, second photo shows the air shock stowed.

now of course these photos show a limited travel setup. i dont need two feet of travel when i'm towing a boat, so i'll likely only be using 10'' stroke shock. but if you're wanting to maintain your overall travel numbers, you're going to need a much longer air shock, or this may not be the right solution for you.



looks like a bit of a pain in the ass for the guy in the stowed photo to access them. looks like he has to pull the spare tires, but i won't have a bed in the way, so it should only take a minute or two per side to switch between towing and not towing.

 

A buddy of mine tows with a 4-link on his Tundra and has air bags he can easily install.

 

This is what I always hear
Do 4 link
And if you wanna tow still buy some airbags

Heck I think the battle toad was/is 4link airbags

 

Also a very simple solution for SUA.

 

Yes it was and looked rad. Dirt head Dave has a few bagged link trucks on his channel.
