If it only nets .5” up travel, do you happen to know what it gets in droop? I’m pretty sure my LT kit on the Tundra gets more of a bump in up travel than that, but it too gets more droop than up travel bump. Without changing the geometry, it’s pretty hard to get a significant up travel bump, no?
The same .5” of droop with stock tundra arms. At least that’s what I measured when I tested the arms. I’m sure with a TC upper tundra arm you could get much more.
I found it wasn’t hard to get a couple inches of uptravel on long travel kits, but it took that 2.5-3.5” of increase to start to see it.
I just feel that drivers find the grass is always greener on the other side. Toyota made the track width a way for a reason. No one is out there saying their stock tundra handles high speed dirt better than a 200. You yourself are much happier with your long traveled tundra than it was when stock. And your stock is a 200s long travel. Unless some on here really gets after it and puts tundra long travel arms on a 200, so that’s 8” of increased track width, yeah that will be awesome.
I definitely am not the do all know all, I’m just a simple man whose done a few long travel kits in the past and drove them a bit fast for some years, and it’s got a lot of hidden negatives.
But this is normal in the automotive world. Changing something must be better, and honestly it’s the only way to really find out what actually works. So I say do it.
But I also say compare apples to apples. People go from completely stock or low end suspension components to long travel with good to great components. Then say how great their long travel is.
I challenge someone to put on a high end coil over with longer arms, then really push the truck for an extended period of time. Then return to stock length arms. Then take an honest assessment.
A recent example I have is I bought my 200, when strait to braid lines and “performance” pads. Then I did that for 18 months. Then for fun I return to my old stock pads. Stock pads stop faster than my Hawk LTS pads, in all conditions. But we have to test to find these results. Not just rush to change and leave it forever.
Rant over, I’m sorry guys, you all know I enjoy everyone’s builds. Do what makes you happy, that’s what really matters.
