The abuse the English language has taken in this pitiful thread is nothing short of horrendous.

spelling flames?
esp. by someone who can't spell out "at" gawd slp punk, duz yor donohue set up use the stock frame mounting points? cuz if so, you just PROVED my travel is as stated here's the equation it's almost 20" from LCA pivot to wheel on my stock trailmaster 4" lift you hav 3" longer distance i assume from yor post and 14" travel x/20=14/23 it's directly proportional x being my travel solve for x ALMOST A FOOT OF TRAVEL or more... nowhere did i say i hav 12" of travel ... if the naysayers, none of which i see offering any proof for thier claims, can't read, maybe they should lurn someone thinks i'll go make a movie of my travel for em to solve r00bish arguments on a bbs? gawd or else my experience is not reality or 'proven' gawd someone can't see my airshox in the pic? gawd i've heard plenty of peeps call tie rods track rods but someone selling airshox apparently has never... and i'm the 16 year old? gawd too bad my first post turned this board into just another joke of an offroad bbs for me i haven't even shaved the top bumstop, there is certainly more travel available to me and if the donohue kit is only 1 1/2" longer on one side, that means i have MORE TRAVEL in the equation, not less |

Typical troll. Can try to talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. No pics or anything? Some1 with that much travel would be more than happy to show their junk off, just for bragging rights alone. Try making this same post over on pirate. You think your getting flamed here...

Uh...last time I checked, 12" to a foot. Unless you were referring to a human foot, which may or may not be actually 12 inches in length.

lmao, I'm not even going to open this thread up any more; I'm getting a headache just trying to read what you type...
So maybe I did feed this a little too much... But you know what, you have to step up or shut up, and in forums where we're often separated by hundreds, thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of miles away from each other, pictures and/or videos are about the only proof you can provide to backup your claims. The only thing you have provided about your claim "i hav almost a foot of travel" (which by the way most people know a foot is 12 inches) is 1 grainy picture that looks like it was taken back in the 80's... And just for fun, and cause now I'm in the mood, Troy, I'm going to agrue with you too; I believe your IFS bracket lift diagram is just a little off... The UCA's position doesn't change, only the LCA is moved sorry, I had to man![]() ![]() And with the remark about never hearing someone call a tie rod a track bar, I've heard some strange slang for some automotive parts over the years, but rarely does someone call a part an entirely wrong name that just so happens to be a different part all together... A TRACK BAR IS ON A SOLID AXLE LEAF SRPUNG VEHICLE! Just as I stated before, and as Troy pointed out as well. How can I prove it? Well, a common carrier of the leaf sprung front end is Jeep, and you'll notice in the picture below that there's a track bar, as well as a tie rod... you cannot sit there and tell me they are the same thing... they are not... end of story... ![]() so to you, I leave my final word... I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!!! ![]() gawd.... To the OP, and back on track, for the life of me I can't find it, but I thought I had seen a coil-over kit on these IFS rigs before, but I just cannot find it again... And when I think about it, I really don't think it was stock control arms; I do believe it was a LT kit. Granted, anything's possible though. The only issue I think that you might run into is 1) the clearance with the spring and the UCA, or 2) the clearance with the spring and the CV shaft Even if you only ran a 2.5" spring, that would be cutting it really close...

Unless you happen to be running like 40" tires, that's not 6" of compression travel.

I fortunately grew up with lots of friends that had some really cool muscle cars.....unfortunately quite a few of them had airshocks in the rear.
I never thought that they felt right no matter how much air was in them. I could have also sworn that Gabriel doesn't recommend that they are installed on the front of a vehicle due to unpredictable handling characteristics.....I am going to check on that. I don't know what travel he gets and don't care but I would definitely say that there is no way they are as safe or handle as well as my Bilsteins!

then why did they get hyjackers?
bwhahaahaaahaaaaa unsafe... super r00b comment gawd gabriel told me they couldn't recommend a non standard usage (cuz obviously an airshok on toy's little dowel of a shock mount in back could get sketchy works for me tho shows how strong those things actually are i'm sure anyone with a 4 runner that uses the shox i use will dispute yor ridiculous claim |

Someone please ban him.
Even if somehow, some way, in some twisted drug-induced or gravity-anomaly-black-hole-induced reality, what he claims could be true, I'm bloody sick of reading his .. See, I just sat here two minutes and couldn't even figure out a word to describe his posts weather it be accurate or insulting. It's that bad, I'm so speechless I can't even insult him.

wow... uh...
last I heard, a 'track rod' (track bar, whatever) is the same thing as a 'panhard rod'... limits side-to-side shifting of a live axle when used with a coil spring suspension, and sometimes on leafs, but rarely. Gimme a moment, I'll read the rest of the thread.

here we go...
If your shocks are your bumpstops... a) you are limiting your travel b) you are sacrificing an expensive part for a cheap part and to quote you: Quote:

I don't even have to go any further.
A pic with the body leaned over means absolutely nothing. Show pic without the diff drop, one wheel at full extension and another at full compression and the frame LEVEL with metering demonstrating there is 12" difference between the extended and compressed wheels.... until then, you are relegated to pander to Pirate4x4

... sort of how BJ spacers spread the UCA and LCA at the steering knukle and allows some travel. Basic geometry and quadralaterals. ...sorry....

But still, anyone that uses "bwahaahaahahaaahaa" or any permutation of that in the context it's been used is little more than a troll, and is only trying to incite conflict.

okay, so travis and i BOTH fail... someone combine both our pics and you will get the right one...
but anyone who knows our trucks gets the point...i digress... Toynado, i suggest you change your tune or leave our forums... there is a collective intelligence here about toyotas and they are ALL telling you that you are wrong... you insulted one of our most knowledgeable and nicest members (tc) and then start flaming the boards themselves... this is not cool, not appreciated, and if you read the rules for the forums, not allowed... with that said, i hope that you just agree to disagree, believe your own opinion is correct, and continue to give advice on other subjects... this is a family forum and a place for friends to come together and share info... on a side note... hmm... wonder where DC is?? is he off polishing his BH???

The problem is: stock IFS has approximately 6" travel, each side, which if I remember properly, is 2" up and 4" down... each side... so if one side goes down completely, that's 4" and the other goes up completely- 2"... that's 6" difference between sides, not 12" as claimed. Even if you lower the LCA's 2" that will not triangulate out to 12" difference. We're talking 10th grade geometry here.
...and considering we're seeing 'wuz' and 'cuz' and 'hav'... take the lack of interest in being intelligent, or at least the lack of interest in "sounding" and "appearing" intelligent... take that in to consideration.... Total Chaos, arguably the "Long Travel" champions, sell a kit with new upper, lower arms... and if you want to keep 4wd, you need new CV's (longer T100 shafts and Porsche inner CV's to handle the angles) and the 3.5" longer arms get's you 11-12" travel. And even then, people break things. They sell the Porsche inner CV for the sole reason stock inner CV is not capable of the angles required from even their suspension, much less the stock suspension, to facilitate 12" of travel. Air shocks and a diff drop won't get you the travel claimed, period. Again, it's geometry. and the only pic shown is one of a truck leaning to the side, with a diff drop (contrary to the claim of "stock") and no metrics to demonstrate the claim.

I'm amazed this clown is still here, and I'd like to think I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
