Toyota Long Travel
#141
This is very interesting. the thing thats hard for me to understand is if your gaining all this travel how are the CVs not binding? I have BJ spacers and apparently my T-bars are cranked a little from the previous owner and i had to shim the bump stops to limit droop or the CVs would bind.

Well I think this is the real deal for those wanting to keep their ifs suspension as I do. The website looks great too.
Now how about a little video.

Since the long travel kits use the longer T-100 axles, the angles are about the same, but the wheel can travel farther up and down. The TC kits use modified Tundra axles to handle greater CV angles. The Blazeland kit uses standard T-100 axles, which results in a little less travel than a TC kit, but still substantially better than stock.
The increase in travel is from the wider stance, longer arm travels farther at the tip even though it swings the same arc.

You guys got it! The Blazeland concept is a simple and cost effective improvement to an awsome IFS vehicle. Adam, thanks for meeting me in Pismo and for taking an up close and personal look at the kit. I'm glad you, and all the other folks, got to see the Blazeland LT in action.

but wait a minute
ya'll said that the t-100 suspension is the EXACT same as the pickup and 4runner suspension and that the t-100 frame is wider
well if the suspension is the same..then the axles should be the same length right?!? lol
i never really checked out a 4wd t-100 sooo my bad if i sound like an idiot!..hahah
now that i have a 2nd gen 4runner with a 4in bracket lift..
i'd be scared to add his LT kit on top of it..
its already REALLY FREAKIN TOP HEAVY

well thats what i figured..but everybody kept saying the suspension is the same..therefore i thought maybe toyota just extended the long portion of steel axle housing whatever coming out of the side of the diff..idk what its called all the sudden

That may be so but the bj spacers are allowing additional droop. The easyest way to test for CV binding at full droop is to jack the front of your truck off the ground from the center of the front diff crossmember. With the hubs locked in 4wd and the transfer case in 2wd turn the steering wheel all the way to the left or to the right and spin the tires by hand. If the CVs are binding you will feel it as you spin. You will also see it as you look at the CV. Also, check for play in the plunge. It may seem backwards but at full droop the CVs are not lengthening but are shortening. The plunge shouldn't bottom out on itself, and the angle shouldn't be much greater than 'x' number of degrees. I think its 22 degrees if memory serves me correct.

I have no idea if the t-100arms mount the same or if they are even close to eachother.
I have tested and I have absolutly no binding in the cv's. I have beat on it pretty good, I treat it like it already has long travel
