LSK race long travel.

Been waiting for this to come out for a while now. I believe this is the second kit going on a Tacoma. Can not confirm that though. Just wanted to post up some pics of my shop doing the install so far. They are working with LSK on some last stage R&D. LSK did post up a picture of the kit on their Instagram page as well.


Edit : just wanted to point out that it is not a requirement nor do you have to cut the inner fenders or install the engine brace for this kit. That was a personal choice of mine.





Trying to get it ready for the last couple days of KOH. Will post up more when we are closer to getting her done.

 

With all that work and beef on the upper mounts I hope something a long the same lines is in order for the lowers.

 

According to LSK and my shop most of the stress comes from the upper mounts so the bottoms do not need to be reinforced. I am not an engineer or fabricator, but I have full faith in both that is true. Here are a few more pics of the progress. The engine brace is not included with this kit I am having him do some extra thing since he is already in there.

 

I know that that the kit some with tabs to weld onto the lower mounts and it uses new lower bolts as well, no more cam bolts. If something happens we will deal with it at that point.

They are going to make the engine brace removable.

 

I will have to look into this now. Thank you for the info.

 

No I appreciate it. Like I said I am not an engineer or fab guy. I actually came from the tuner world so all of the truck stuff is new to me. Trying to learn everything I can. I will post up more as it goes along.

Who did the ones in the picture above the Marlin's? Third picture

 

Looks good, shop knows what they are doing.

 

What about my solution?!

 

That’s better

Yea alot of beefing up went on lol but I Would highly recommend reinforcing your Lcas mine were bent.

 

BOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

 

Looking into what we can do with the LCA. Was not ready for KOH weekend, but here is an update. Going to start assembly and set bump stops up next.

 

What ever you do make sure to add in more substantial skid plate mounts, then you might as well design skids as well. Based on what most of the after market suspension companies show on there web sites lack a comprehensive total system. For example most offer UCA's, LCA's, shocks then some have knuckles/spindles, some might have reinforcements, some offer UCA double shear kits some don't, etc.. If I go mid or long travel I want all from one source. UCA's, LCA's, Spindles, Big brake kit, shocks, axles, motor mount reinforcement, larger rack, skid plates, rocker skids then of course options for the rear. I am sure there are plenty of shops can do all that plus as custom builds but if I want to do it in stages as bolt in with minimal fab I want to know It will all work together. Hear in SoCal it does seem most shops are geared towards desert applications and may not feel all of that is needed or if it is wanted to just go to the custom shop build. Just my .02cents.

 

Yes that is the convo I had with him that I would rather he spend more time on the truck then rush everything.

 

No one company makes the things you listed or even close - time spent researching of things will work together can minimize compatibility issues aside from having prior experience.

 

Waiting on the bypasses and still have to do the fender and core support.
