Long Travel BS Thread

Yes Sir. Thanks

I hear that about the rake. The AP pack does maintain the full 3" of lift even after they are broken in. You cant go wrong with Defined Engineering's stuff.

 

Hey guys. I have a buddy that is interested in building a badass LT machine. He wants to get an older Toyota to do so. I suggested him to look into Rangers as well. I dont know about them much but seems like they are one of the trucks most often used to build LT trucks.

Which older truck would you guys suggest, looking for something that is reliable, proven and has a good aftermarket for parts. Thanks.

 

get an 89-95 toyota pickup, best platform to build off of

 

toyota pick-up pre tacoma

 

^^^^ this

 

idiots!!! pontiac aztek FTW!!!

 

yupp bonson has it all, ESB mike wants them back hah, its complicated. ive been trying to get the jig from bonson so i can get that badass kit built, he'll rent it to you

 

Awesome, yeah that is what I thought is the way to go......

....until I saw this!


So what is the deal with the Rangers? Why do I see so many? Just a Ford thing or are they pretty well proven too?

 

Reminds me of that Top Gear that Rudford turned one into an offroad machine lol

 

who the fuck is Bonson?

 

There are way more built rangers out there then toyota's, your just on the wrong site if you want to see them ha

 

Death Wish?

quick Q for anyone with a good concept for leaf spring functionality.

I just made my own custom leaf pack w/ 4 thin leafs. Main leaf is a ford f150 58.5" leaf. I didn't wanna have to move my front hanger untill i get some chevy 64's in so i drilled my center pin hole in the main leaf at 22.5"s away from the front hanger bolt which is stock length for my 91 pickup. The ladder half of the main leaf length is 36"s. Making that a 13.5" difference in length between front and rear.
I ordered this giant kit yesterday and will be mounting it over the frame

Does anybody see an issue with running this set up at such extreme front/rear length ratios?

according to this chart some factory leafs are up to 7"s in difference. http://littlekeylime.com/MrN/mrnimages/leaf_springs.png

 

what is so amazing about this kit?

 

noob question. Do I have to pull the rack off to get the driver side LCA bolt out?

 

Esb kit? Quite possibly toughest kit ever built apparently.

 

Not off but you will have to take out the bolts so you can move it back. You can leave all of the lines hooked up and get enough room
