RCLT HD 2.75" - Travel Numbers and Notes

I had a feeling I was using the wrong phrase for that. Thank you. Are there swingset options for our trucks?

 

I didnt realize the tundra rack was that much more beefy than the lc 200 rack. The only real worry is the housing cracking when somewhere remote. Not a real issue, until it happens.

 

Even then, I still carry a spare rack which I can bolt in if absolutely necessary to get home. Nice thing about the bolt in tundra rack setup

 

That is nice. Do you need to take the diff out to put in the new rack?

 

Nada, I lifted the motor to both fit it, and so it slides in like stock

 

How you gonna lift the motor to slide in the replacement rack on the trail? I am genuinely curious because my intention with my build was to make it more robust and easier to repair, but so far it's only become more fragile and prone to issues.

 

Long answer short is, no, there isn’t a kit in production for this.
Kevin over at QMS makes one but it works with his LT kit and it only works with 2wd and you have to delete the AC compressor. The rumor is that he updated it so you don’t have to delete it but, this hasn’t been a priority for QMS.

It’s been on my list to eventually design and build it out on my truck then build cad files and put it into production.

 

Kevin lifted his motor with new motor mounts.

 

Oh gotcha. That seems clever. But do the transmission and transfer case need to be lifted as well?

 

correct. I lifted my motor 1.5” and then fabbed a new trans mount and cross member. The tcase doesn’t have a mount.

 

How’d you raise your engine? Been debating doing that for a bit more uptravel, but not sure it’s worth the trouble.

 

Did you need to modify your floor boards for the shifter mounts in the cab? I have about 1cm of space between the transfer case and the floor, as well as the crawl box and the floor.

 

I just lifted my motor, left the tcases in the same spot as Im not going to flat belly this truck, too nice inside to get rid of interior haha.

I used these mounts, and just made spacers to go inbetween the block hole and the thru bolt with this setup. Lifted mine about 1" or so, just before the bellhousing hits tunnel on my truck

 

It is hard for me to grasp how the transmission and cases dont need to lift also, since they are attached to the motor. Are that at a slight angle towards the rear?

 

Yep they are angled a cunt hair, but its such a big distance with duals/mount off of the tcase that it doesnt effect anything else.

 

I was told the Howe pump makes more pressure than stock pump at all rpms.
So wouldn't it be an improvement without adjusting the idle rpms.

 

Currently, I have 2" of rake with 2.5" lift in the front.
6112 700# springs and Deaver stage 3 leafs.
With RCLT how much rake do you think I'll end up with?

This is the solution

 

That’s the direction I went lol. Full hydro of course

 

Nope, it doesnt make pressure UNTIL 950 rpm, so you have next to nothing below there.

My idle RPM is set to 1100, so when it is in gear and there is resistance on the engine it hovers around 950. I tried setting it to 950, but when in gear it was down to around 800. I tried setting just the drive gears to 1100 and P and N to 650, but that was a mistake during my first 12 point turn on a tight trail. I had no steering assistance every time I went through N.
