Long Travel BS Thread

yea he needs to crank that sucker down and go with softer springs

 

softer than 600lbs springs?

Maybe just lower it

 

I have to agree with you with the first statement. Ive seen some videos of people hucking the shit out of these trucks.

As for my money pit, idk how much ive spent. The key to enjoying the sport is to lock all the invoices in a drawer. jk lol

But I am just curious what kind of upgrades for 2k will considerably make a Raptor faster than my tacoma, aside from hiring a Veteran Racer to drive. What kind of aftermarket suspension components are offered for the Raptor? thanks

 

especially for 2Gs

 

You can see that dudes grimmace on his face when he hits the skid lol

 

Damn that last pic is crazy

 

So.. why does everyone measure a LT truck on if you can huck it? Seeing pictures of someone jumping doesn't do it for me. Hell you can Jump a Kia Santa Fe if you wanted. Show me pictures or videos going through 2ft + whoops at speed.

General Statment

 

Makes me want to go nose dive my truck sence all the cool kids are doing it lol

 

Is anybody's steering rack pissing fluid?

so i decided on what im going with for springs. a 6" 550#/ 16" 650#

anyone see any problems with that on a 10 inch coilover?

 

One, its not needed. Two, its hard to complete the weld with a spacer between the tabs. Three, on the taco arms a completed weld can rub on the rod end of the shock because of the angle of the tabs and the finished weld would pull the tabs in so much it would be a pain to get the shock in the arm. But i do get where you're coming from on the looks, I would like to see it finished but thats not up to me.

 

Might have to compress it a little to get it on

 

how thick is the retainer that goes inbetween the coils?

 

less then an inch, Id say about 3/4''

 

Perfect explanation!

Thanks hotpants lol

 

so i have a 18" spring on my 8 inch c/o and it has about 2 inches of thread at the top..

running 22 total inches of spring and 22 3/4 with the middle spring retainer.. it should fit by theory. we will see lol

 

Dear Mr. Hotpants,

Why the hell isn't your Tacoma built beyond belief? You work at TC right?
