For those that daily drive their rigs. Curious to see who has the highest mileage on their LT setup? Any gripes or pure stoke?

 

[puckitpuck]

Will LT set up work with KDSS?

 

[rochmpr]

How could I test the quality of these claims as well as actual travel dimensions. I would be willing to install on my 4Runner at NO cost to you. I can email you my address so you can send a complete set.

Thanks in advance.

Without opening up a can of worms, I’d be curious to learn if you’ve ever considered offering an LT kit with rubber bushings? Noise and the frequency of greasing/maintenance seem to be the biggest detractors I heard people talk of. Maybe even combined with ball joints instead of uniballs.

 

[MTN4RNR]

Will LT set up work with KDSS?

This has been talked about a bit already (check out this thread...), and the short answer is no. KDSS will negate the benefits of LT, and beyond that, KDSS isn't supported with any LT options. It would have to be something custom.

 

[rochmpr]

No, they are not compatible.

We've got many customers with anywhere from 10k-100k on their systems. Hopefully we have a few that chime in here :rockon:

Good question - a Long Travel System will not work with KDSS.

We have not considered a rubber bushing option or ball joints on a Long Travel System.

These kits were designed to handle serious off-road use without any problems! We've found the urethane bushings offer great performance while being easy to maintain and replace if needed. Same applies for the uniball, our 100% stainless steel uniballs are some of the strongest on the market and offer superior corrosion resistance.

Keeping the bushings and uniballs properly lubricated is key to a long-lasting kit. Most customers are happy to perform a tiny bit of extra maintenance for the major performance increase that a Long Travel System offers.

Does the Total Chaos Long travel kit work with Icon Vehicle dynamics secondary shock system or do you need to purchase Total Chaos Shock hoop system?

The geometry is going to be different. Customers will need to purchase TOTAL CHAOS Secondary Shock Hoops when running dual shocks with our Long Travel.

I bought my KDSS trail knowing this and with a plan. Knowing it would inevitably end up my daily for a few years I wanted KDSS. Then my plan was as soon as my EX warranty ends in 7-8 years I would rip the KDSS out and go LT.

So far I am happy going this route as 85% of what my 4R does is highway etc... Which will change once I pick up a new daily in 2-3 years after paying off the 4R.


Do you guys do layaway? :laugh::laugh:

Great to see this thread and I hope it gets a little more traffic!

I have a 2016 4Runner with your factory length uppers and LCA’s and have been impressed... make that really impressed with the build when pulling the suspension apart (just to clean things up - no noticeable wear or play to be found) and with the travel offroad.

I am toying with another 150 series build and wanted to get your thoughts on 1) steering rack upgrade options 2) feedback from anyone at the shop or a customer who has engineered a font sway bar setup to go long travel and 3) options for the front differential if you are going to have a fairly heavy setup (35’s, beadlocks, and a 1UR-FE).
