  1. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    You added the 3.0 external bypasses in the back, hell yeah! When you upgrade the rear swaybar go with the 28 spline and the forged arms. I started with the 25 spline and steel arms and it was wayyyyy to soft. The steel arms also flex and smashed into the coolers. The forged ones have been...
  2. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    nice, what work did you have done to the front and rear?
  3. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    Kickstarter is caught up in review still. They were stating I need clear images of the springs (and not just images of them iinstalled in my truck) and more detail on what the springs do (:headbang:)Their responses have been very cut and paste so I'm waiting on an actual follow up from ahuman on...
  4. best tie rod / drag link

    I have over 85k on my truck right now and the stock joints have been fine in all the desert stuff I do including high speed jumps and whoops. I did bash a rock hard and bent my tie rod cross bar which pulled my toe in, but I was able to easily bend it back into place after I got home. This is...
  5. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    Those look awesome, thanks for that recommendation. I will have to order those to confirm what wheel travel is possible. That option works for people who don't mind remounting their spare tire elsewhere (I prefer mine under so it's less stuff in the bed and helps lower cg). It will also work...
  6. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    Update on the kickstarter, currently it is in review by the team prior to approval for launching it. I should hear something tomorrow (Jan 9th)

    Here's a photo of the measurement by the way
  8. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    the Synergy springs are waaaayyyy to soft in my opinion. When I received my truckit had the factory Mopar lift, then after I sheard off my rear bumpstop on a jump I added the Fox bumpstops and upgraded to the 2.5 DSC's. But in upgrading all of that I had to upgrade the springs. I first went...
  9. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    I didnt measure the uptravel in the front when I had the trailer attached, but I did just measure it now (empty, nothing in truck bed) and with the Fox 3.0's I have 6.5in of up travel (to the shocks bump pad, -082 part number). I am not using the supplied shock extensions that come with the...
  10. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    Quick update, I just finished towing a 5700 lbs trailer to the Salton Sea and back over New Years. The springs handled great, and I had no major issues. With a tongue weight of 570 lbs + 315 lbs of tools and gear in the bed the truck responded well on the highway. I ran another 30 mile loop...
  11. Max rear wheel travel

    Pulled a 5700 lbs trailer to the Salton Sea and back over the weekend. With my custom springs everything rode nice. The Black Series rides nice to begin with, but it is very heavy for its size, and my tongue weight ended up bring aroun 570lbs + 315 lbs in the truck bed. I have a seperate post...
  12. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    Np, the final phase of testing will happen at the and of April when I run my truck in the NORRA 1000 Mexican rally. It's a 6 day rally over 1200 miles off road. I'm limited to only 60 mph in the class I'm competing in because it doesn't require a roll cage.
  13. Max rear wheel travel

    quick update, I had to go with a thicker bar now that the arms are 21in vs 15, and I had to go with the straight forged arms and it is all working very well. I unfortunately am not in double shear like I'd like to be, but for now it's working very well. I'm headed to Salton Sea tomorrow and...
  14. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    For the fronts I'd just stick with the Fox 2.5 DSC's, if you really want the bypass capability go with the3.0 internal bypass in the front. You already have bump stops up there and the 2.5 external bypass is more of a pain in the ass to fit vs. the 3.0 IBP's. You also need to look at the ext...
  15. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    Now this doesnt mean the ADS shocks are not worth purchasing, it depends on what your end goal is, how you drive your rig, and so on. I am happy to seem them and Bilstein making bypasses for the JT even if they are only 2.5in diameter shocks. What is not clear to me for ADS is the shaft...
  16. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    The shocks they make are only 2.5in diameter, I'm running 3.0 external bypasses on the rear right now. The rear ADS's have a compressed length of 18.37in and a stroke of just above 11in. The problem with that is no JT will ever tuck more than 18.8in of compressed shock length, so in this case...

  19. Pre-Runner Springs - lots of rear wheel travel

    Hey community, my name is Mike and I've been some what active here, mostly around suspension related topics. I've enjoyed jumping my truck since the day I got it and have been upgrading, testing, breaking, and upgrading again various components. With all the desert type riding I do with some...
