I wish there were stock options within your company with the amount of replacement parts I've bought over the years. You guys are definitely eating good thanks to me LOL.

Older pictures of it in my build thread. These are some of the more recent photos.

So, 50% military discount?

Will LT set up work with KDSS?

there is a +2 system in the works that will retain KDSS. I emailed them last week and they told me it is in development. the +3.5 system requires it to be removed

 

[metanight]

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.

after an email to TC last week, a +2 LT system is in the works that keeps the KDSS

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).

Just picked up a new sway bar from TC yesterday, give me a little time and I’ll get some feedback to post up on here. 2014 4Runner, TC +2” race kit with triple bypass, also the truck in the OP

I've got the +2 racing LT kit with King adjusters. Before going with secondary bypasses, I'm wanting to get the URD Supercharger square. This should be fun

Please clarify

Swaybar? Did they make one?

I've been hoping for 2 years now.

Yes, they have made one. Should be released very soon now. Two prototypes have been on TC company trucks for testing. I believe I have the first production model on a 4Runner. 4Runner specific mounting hardware is being finalized now.

Side note: I started asking for one 5 years ago, maybe my persistence paid off lol

You’ll benefit more from king secondary bypasses than you will that supercharger

That is fantastic... Now just to make it single side disconnect like my factory one. I've had my front LT sitting in a box for almost a year now trying to decide if I can live without a front sway bar on the road.

I currently have a single side disconnect system that I fabricated. It allows one arm to be removed in about 2 minutes resulting in no swaybar. It's sort of the best of both worlds and I'm so hooked on it... it is hard to give up. Drives great on the road and even better off with the arm removed.

Can you please post a picture of it so I can see what would be involved in modifying it to be a disconnect.

Ha, I think I would want the supercharger first. Hardly anyone can make use of secondaries on a regular basis. The supercharager is a joy every time you drive it...

 

[Bumbo]

I need me some desert toy upgrades...

Still dreaming about the day I get a to dual shock +3.5 LT a GX haha

Nice photos everyone.

1.) Marlin Crawler is working on a steering rack kit, Solo Motorsports has what might be a reworked Tundra rack that requires some fabrication to mount. With 35's the stock rack will last a while, you can always increase the reservoir capacity and throw on a cooler and that should get you pretty far with the stock rack.

2.) Not sure you need a front sway bar with a proper set of heavier coils and a sway bar in the back. Weld on a panhard correction kit if you are lifted a bunch.

3.) Your front diff is more than strong enough for 35's, if anything you should be looking at strengthening the axle shafts, though as long as you don't wheel like a crazy person the stock axle shafts should last too. Solo Motorsports, RCV, and Lotus all have upgrade options for CVs.

Considering the new one mounts in the stock location and uses the stock links, I would think your current disconnect setup is transferable.

Looks pretty stock. I would not be able to transfer it over directly as it involves cutting the swaybar and fabricating a mechanical connection. But it could be done again. It's a very involved process though.

I don't have a picture handy of the latest rev of it, but can take one later to explain how it works. There are wheel studs and lug nuts that hold it together that are removed remove the one arm to eliminate the sway bar interference.


This is an old pic of the original rev.
