No, I'm liking my setup as is now. But long travel is in the future for me. The spindle I can use with long travel, but yes the uca and coil will sell on ebay or something. I will get good use out of it the way it is for a while. A good friend of mine is probably gonna make our on LT kit for his 05 taco and my rig. So I'm not worried about the cost of them just the shocks. Besides, I'm not ready to start getting into everythingelse that I want to do, but in time. The in the near future I will be getting into the rear suspension. Its just not right that with 2500 bucks of good solid suspension in the front and the best you can really go in the back is coils and shocks. It annoys me, so I'm gonna get the guys at Allied to make some custom shock buckets so that I can at a minimum of a 2" shock back there. Also replace all the link arms with slightly longer length and johnny joints (stronger and better articulation than stock). Then get a 3 to 3 1/2" new, even stiffer coil (slightly). With that I will need to extend and change the rear sway bar linkage and other obvious things to cope with the lift and movement.
But when I do go long travel in the front it will full bore. At that point I am looking to go with a conversion to having 4 full racing bucket seats and cage. Build enclosed shock to towers into the rear cargo area and fuel cell and rebuilt currie rear with four link!! But that will be at least 3 to 4 more years. By then it will paid for and I will have another daily driver so this can become a full desert 4seater that will be sick!!
I probably sound crazy but that's what I wanna do. What sites did you see my setup on? I only post on two other forums, TTORA and Toyota120. Id be curious to see where else its showing up. It may be in a mag in march but I haven't heard anything for sure yet.
