The stock cv's turn smooth maxed out... the rcv's go beyond stock angle...I have no concern being I will hit these angles less than .0001% of the time the cv's turn

Rcv do long travel cvs for a few of the lt kits, could see if one of them suits your camburg kit.
Which brings me to another question, how did you even get stock cvs to extend 4.5 inches to match the arms

The tundra rcv's are bolt in for 200's. I ordered an extended mid shaft and mated it to my factory cv's
Am I understanding correctly that you're still able to get full compression with shock spacer? Without modifying the factory bump stops?
Gives me hope that I can get 10.5" front travel out of the stock arms and suspension.
Added your data to the other thread. If you have anymore measurements or info, I'll be happy to add. Others too so we can build a better repository of info.

All measurements are from wheel center to fender lip so they are comparable without tire variables
*Measured, Not Maxed Out
Suspension Travel Comparison
Been meaning to do this to get some objective numbers to compare ride height versus droop travel versus compression travel. What better to do on a rainy day. Hope is that others may contribute and I'll update my table. We've known for awhile that some aftermarket suspensions increase what is...

Yes... your going the wrong way...on stock arms you'd be far away from bump stop at full compression... you'd have to extend bump stop as much as spacer to correct it... mind you my arms are different so I'm no where near it anyway... I'm going to do hydrolic air bumps.

Sweet... I like being at the top!! I'll definitely document some more measurements next time I pull the dobinsons springs off to swap back to AHC springs.... car rides like a boat with them... very bouncy and wishy washyAdded your data to the other thread.

Ah gotcha. I've got the OE leveling spacer in there that gave me almost 1" more overall travel without needing the change any bump stops. Adding another .5". If it turns out that I need space my bumps stops down, to trade compression for more droop, I'm okay with that as it'll still give me more clearance underneath.

Yea you should be able to do another .5.... you can put new studs in coil cap if need be...be careful as you'll be getting to where the shock will bottom out before bump stop engages...... thays where I'm at now... now that my spacers are in I'm ready to start mocking up my air bumps
Perfect. Sounds like you're playing the same game with more aggressive parts.
Yes, thinking new studs will be necessary and I'll be prepared to do that. Definitely going to watch where the shock bottoms and play it safe. Can only go so far without...long arms.
Well this is the exact thread I needed to read. I love the AHC on my LX470 but have always wished I could get more travel out of it.
Excited to see what your rig can do on the trail! And thank you for the bit of inspiration, time to start brainstorming!

Thanks man... uea I'm pushing the envelope for sure... alot of trial and error fueled by sheer will. I did see this video a while back... looks to be alot of fab work tho.. if I had a 100 series I think I just sas it. I wanted to be the first 200 sas bit ill settle for 1st long travel on AHC
Adding longer rear bump stops? Looks like you scrub the rear fender on the passenger's side when fully compressing the rear.

No...Well yes will do that too... but relocating lower shock mount... itll move full compression 2 in highr and give me 2 inches further droop... found these photos on here off a LC200... it was like seeing my vision come to life...but my vision is to use the factory stud instead of a grade 8 bolt...then cut off lower portion of tower to gain clearance ... last photo is the shock disconnected...where it would be with shock mount relocation
Nice. I like that solution for the rear better than extended bump stops
- Thread starter

Have to add longer bump stops as well ... to keep the shock from bottoming out
Right, sorry I just meant I like the solution that allows full shock travel as opposed to limiting travel to compensate.
So many threads. So many mods.
@1UZJ80N60 Can i ask for an update here on what you did with the rear sway extension?
How did the finished product turn out on the rear shock relo bracket? Any more pics?
Or just point me to one of the zillion other threads and posts LOL.
Thanks!
