2004 Tundra Adventure Cab - Build/Adventure Thread

[toyotech]

I got mine today as well and installed it already with the preload they set them at. Don't know what they are at for but I think it's set for factory height lol. I was suppose to get a free spanner and it wasn't shipped so I have to wait a few days for it to see if I can get any lift with the 650 lbs springs even tho Sean already told me it didn't work for him.

Anyways I didn't like where fox suggest where to mount the remote res so I found a better spot. It's almost directly behind the bumper.

Man I want a set of those so bad looks awesome, what part number is that rear shock?

 

[Flyer69]

Looks great Jose! I hope those work out well for you.

How much did you raise your P-valve? Looks like about 2"?

They are. I was so close to just hanging them in my garage lol

I hope so. They are not cheap lol.
P-valve? Guessing remote res? Yeah I raised it a good amount and tucked higher than the lowest hard spot. The original location is next to the skid and if you look at my skid. I have already dented the spot right next to where the remote res goes and I was like nope. This can't go here. If I couldn't put it high like I do now. I would have got new lines made to be longer so I can run it directly behind the bumper and out of sight. The current raised location looks good and clean. Will see when I try them out.

He probably meant your LSPV on the rear axle.

Just so we can see them again

Makes me want to do a coilover conversion!

Ahh yeah. I raised it like 1.5 inches. You can raise it more or less depending on how much rear brake assist you want. I cut my rod on my 4Runner and zip tied it up and maxed it out lol.
On the tundra I moved it up.

Sean- did you ever relocate your remote res?

I actually like the torsion set up on my runner. Flexes slot better imo. Should look into blazeland long travel but you would need custom axle shafts.

My remote resi is here-





If the hose is as tight up against the frame as I have it, 35s will rub it.

 

[toyotech]

Ah. Yeah I have room to run it how I have mine. Hose hugs the frame but it does come out a tad near the res. If the way I did it didn't work. I was gonna put it above the frame right behind the splash cover in your last photo. You should try that. Tad harder to get to adjusters but I don't see it getting adjusted often. Or enough to be an issue

Maybe a small wheel spacer ???

Make sure you put your larger alignment on the aft side of the lower mount.

I looked into long travel quite extensively and decided I didn't want to go any wider than I am already. Once I swap out ball joints for EMF Uniballs, relocate my upper bumpstop, clearance the inner cv cup, and do heim tie rods I should be close to 12 inches of travel.

I'd just want coilover because they are so shiny lol. Torsion bars are so boring to look at haha.

Yeah I read that in the instructions plus I remember you had that issue with yours on the wrong side in the emails you sent me.

Can paint the t bars a shiny color lol. 12" !!! Wow.

I wanted LT on the tundra but like you I don't want it any wider.

Nice coilovers!

Interested to see if your coils rub your cv axle shaft at some point during its cycle. With the massive shock bodies I have slight wear marks on my CV shafts and coilovers where they make contact. My misalignment spacers are also properly adjusted. The more I think about it though, it might have to do with where you alignment is set. I should try and grab some photos so we can compare as I also have a recent alignment print out and I could share my alignment specs.

Definitely enjoy the suspension though... they are BA coilovers.

Heck yeah. You guys haven't post much photos of your coilovers since they been installed. Seem like there are small issues im learning about afterwards lol.
