Welcome to Dirt King!

Long Travel Kit

 Description

The Dirt King long travel kit was developed to drastically improve the vehicles off-road handling without compromising its day to day driving characteristics. This suspension system allows for 13.5” of travel and accepts up to a 35” tire. The kit is compatible with 2WD models and 4WD models along with the purchase of extended axle shafts. Our upper and lower arms are designed with 1” stainless steel uniballs for the outer pivots instead of ball joints for strength and increased articulation. Compared to the competition we’ve gained several inches of ground clearance by mounting the lower arms in the factory location instead of below it. This kit is CAD designed, thoroughly tested, and 100% made in America resulting in a product we’re proud to put our name on!

 Specifications

• Wheel Travel: 13.5”
• Amount of Lift: 0-4”
• Track Width: 3.5” wider per side
• Maximum Tire Size: 35”
• Maximum Backspacing: 4.75”
• Minimum Rim Size: 16”
• Coil over Shock Size: 2.5” x 8” 
• Bypass Shock Size: 2.5” x 8” 
• Bump Stop Size: 2.0” x 2.0”

4WD To achieve the full amount of travel on 4WD models you must install the 1” diff drop kit and machine the inner CV’s for more articulation. We offer several services for machining CV’s and complete axle assembly   Click here  to view the services we offer and additional information on CV machining.

Shocks For the best performance and to achieve the full amount of travel you must purchase our spec built shocks or have them custom built based on our coil over spec sheet. You may also use Tacoma OEM replacement coil overs (King, Fox, Icon) with 600lb springs and 1.5” wide lower eyelet spacers with ½” mounting holes. These shocks will work but limit the amount of wheel travel. The OEM replacement coil overs include reservoir mounts that may not be compatible with our double shear kit option. Our long travel kit is also tabbed to accommodate bypass shocks.  The bypass shocks will allow for superior suspension dampening and tunability. To mount the bypasses we offer a weld on bypass shock hoop kit (DK-811910) that can be purchased separately. The bypass shock hoop kit requires welding and modifications to the frame. For extreme off-roading the kit has the ability to accept bump stops along with the coil overs and bypasses. The use of bump stops will alsorequire welding and modifications to the frame.

Wheel Travel When shopping long travel kits many consumers tend to focus just on travel numbers. This is the reason many companies claim inaccurate numbers or don’t disclose the amount of work involved to achieve these numbers. Our goal is to build a suspension system with the highest amount of wheel travel without requiring major modifications to the vehicle or compromising its overall drivability.

Tire Info When using 35” tires with this kit modifications to the wheel well will need to be made. The firewall pinch weld will need to be folded over and front cab mount needs to be shaved to avoid contact while turning. The upper wheel well will also need to be modified to avoid contact at full bump.   

 What's Included

• Boxed plate upper control arms
• Boxed plate lower control arms
• 8" quad wrapped limit straps
• Weld on adjustable limit strap mounts
• 17-4 stainless steel misalignment spacers
• 17-4 stainless steel tie rod extensions
• DOT approved extended brake lines 
• Grade 8 mounting hardware
• Zinc plated bushing washers 
• Bump stop spacers
• Bolt on application, minimal modifications required

Community poll: 5 long travel tacoma builds.

Welcome back to another community poll. This is a column interview Q&A with independent owner-submitted feedback from the overland community – centered around one topic. Each owner has thoroughly tested their products through off-roading or overlanding and gives us their honest opinion review of their set-up.

Long travel suspension is a high-end upgrade that significantly improves your truck’s off-road performance. They provide a wider track width, increased wheel travel, and increased traction – especially at faster speeds. This all enables the truck to handle tough and uneven terrains with ease. Think of these setups as somewhere between a standard mid-travel suspension and Baja trophy truck territory. Kits vary in complexity and modification.

Tell Us About Your Setup

I upgraded to long travel to maximize my truck’s off-road capabilities and to run larger tires.

I chose JDFabrication for the front because they have tons of experience and focused on Toyota parts specifically. They advertised their kit on Tacoma World Forums and detailed the development and build process for this kit. Reading about the research and development of the entire kit instilled huge confidence in the fitment and performance for me.

I installed everything on my own and the entire process was simple. The fitment of the kit was great and the JDFabrication team was easy to get ahold of if I had questions and their customer service was the best.

My Tacoma with long travel handles great on-road and performs effortlessly off-road. Long travel allows my truck to ride smoothly over rough terrain and helps me crawl over larger obstacles.

2. Kiet: RCLT HD

• RCLT HD 2.75 | RCV Axles 2.75
• King Suspension Long Travel | 3.0x16x600 lb Spring Coil Over
• Chevy 63 Swap Rear Ruffstuff Specialties Kit w/ Chevy 63 3 Leaf Spring Kit
• Archive Garage Shock Relocation | 2.5×14 Kings Smooth Bodie Shocks
• Duro Bump Stops
• Crown Performance 28-inch Steel Braided Extended Brake Lines

I mainly like to do rock crawling but also still want a smooth ride off-road and the RCLT was the perfect kit for that. The specs speak for themselves, with every piece being extremely heavy-duty.

The RCLT brings the entire wheel forward 2″ in order to clear 40″ tires (paired with a little tubbing). It also introduces a bigger, stronger steering rack (Land Cruiser 200 series) that is double-sheared and heimed. The clearance on the RCLT is superior to any long travel kit on a Tacoma due to the way the lower arm is made.

Money was definitely a factor as I’ve always wanted to go past 37s. This meant needing to upgrade to beefier components like the steering rack. Considering how the only other option is a modified Tundra rack and Heims can cost $2500-3000, it didn’t make sense. As I tried to find alternatives to the RCLT kit, I kept ending up at a similar price point. Plus, the RCLT is streamlined being an all-inclusive kit.

My rear setup is very simple; how can I build it to where it’s still comfortable, extremely capable, and cheap? The Chevy 63 swap was the answer considering how dirt cheap it is for the insane amount of performance you get. The 63 swap was able to get used to the entire 14 smooth-body shocks in the rear.

Going to a 3-link would be the better choice, but the amount of money needed for that far exceeded the benefits. You get a better bang for the buck with the 63 swap. Since I mainly rock crawl than desert dune, it just made more sense.

3. Scott Molina: Dirt King

• Dirt King Long Travel Kit
• Front Coil Overs
• Rear Triple Bypass
• 2.0×2.0 Bump Stops
• Deaver Leaf Springs

Starting off in the front, I have a custom Dirt King long travel kit with King Suspension spec coil overs. I also have the bypass hoop installed, just not the bypasses yet.

In the rear, I have the complete Dirt King long travel and bed cage paired with the King Suspension triple bypass. The frame is boxed in from the cab back for more strength and C-notched for an extra 2″ of bump travel. There are also King bump stops mounted at the top of the notch.

All in all, this has made for a great setup both on-road and off-road.

4. Heather & Alex: Total Chaos

• Total Chaos +3.5 Race Kit w/ 2.5 8″ Coilover and 2.5 8″ Bypass
• Gusseted Spindles
• Heim Steering
• Dirt King Spring-Under Kit w/ Currie Fabricated Ford 9″

We found that we really enjoyed going fast more than anything else off-road. Then, we realized that a large number of components on a basically stock Tacoma really can’t handle that kind of a beating. For example, we destroyed our engine mounts and completely murdered our core support. We ended up replacing it with a custom tube structure in the hopes that it would help hold the truck together.

Unfortunately, we still had issues and needed to move our battery to the bed to keep it from crashing all the way through our inner fender. It was at that point we knew we needed to do something to stop chasing problems and instead get ahead of them. Long travel was that something.

We did as much research as we could with the little knowledge that we had at the time. After being told we couldn’t go wrong with any of the big three brands, we settled on Total Chaos because of their solid reputation and passion for Toyotas. We also figured that the best way to learn something was to jump headfirst into it. It was advised that we upgrade the rear end at the same time, but you know how money can be.

We were really enjoying our front upgrades. Once we were able to get the bypasses installed, we immediately started jumping the truck and pushing it further and further each time. Well, that advice about getting rear long-travel came back to bite us when we discovered our rear axle housing was bent and the internals were completely destroyed.

We went back and forth quite a bit on whether to 3-link the truck now that we needed to replace our entire axle assembly or go with our original plan to go spring-under.

In the end, it came down to cost and the desire to be able to get the upgrades we needed while still having funds available for the “unexpected”.

We’d always liked the Dirt King kit with its frame notch that allows for more up travel. We’ve seen how well their truck can boogie, so we went with that. Again, head first all the way. We literally just got our truck back after installation, so we’re still feeling out of capability. Plus, with the new axle assembly, we have to properly break in the new gears.

So far, we are loving the feel of the truck and are excited to see what it can really do.

5. Josh Oats: Dirt King

• +3.5 Long Travel Kit
• Upper Control Arms
• Lower Control Arms
• Bypass Hoops
• 8” Coilovers with 600lb Springs
• Triple Bypasses
• Hydro Bump Stops
• 14” Rear Triple Bypasses
• 2” Stroke Hydro Bump Stops
• Solo Motorsports Tundra Steering Rack with Clevis Upgrade and Double Sheers

I chose Dirt King because they’re one of the top brands you can really choose from. When you see their kits in person you see the attention to detail these guys put into these kits.

I chose Locked for shocks because I’ve had them for years and they’ve never let me down. Their shocks are fully serviceable and rebuildable and they use quality materials and parts. The owner, Riley, truly cares about all of his customers and does everything he can to make sure everyone is taken care of and loves their shocks and bump stops. I love the products so much that I became a dealer for them and I’m fortunate to now call Riley a very good friend of mine. Hit me up for the best deal on your Locked set up.

I opted for the Tundra steering rack from Solo Motorsports because it looked like it was the most well-put-together conversion for the Tacoma and I have to say that their kit is really nice. I did as many supporting mods as possible for the LT but also for the 37s.

Final Thoughts

And that wraps up this week’s Taco Tuesday on LT!

While long travel suspension might not be for everyone, it has its place in the off-road community. Due to its cost, most of us can only dream, but the way it elevates the ride comfort and turns rock climbing into a breeze is truly remarkable. If you’re into moving and crawling fast, this upgrade can seriously up your game.

Trucks with long travel kits look so good – the truck’s mid-size form paired with huge tires and crazy suspensions are something straight out of our childhood imaginations, and we love it.

Rear Setup For First Gen

Discussion in ' Long Travel Suspension ' started by Dalandser , Mar 31, 2017 .

#1 Dalandser [OP] ¡Me Gustan Las Tacos-mas!

I'm looking to eventually replace the rear setup on my 98 with a simple SUA arrangement with TC hangers and shackles and relocating the shocks outside of the frame. I know space is tight between the wheels and the frame, but I'm running 2" spacers and I'm aware that clearance between the frame and the end of the axle is also tight. The biggest question I have is where to mount the shackle and what length to get as well as what leaf pack will suit me best. I've seen different length shackles mounted above and through the frame on TC's website. I know they offer F67's, but I've heard mixed reviews about them on here so maybe people with experience with them can fill in the details on these. I'd rather have things be a little stiff (ha) unloaded than the back end drooping when I put enough gear for a few day camping road trip in my camper shell. To make it pretty clear what I intend on using the truck for I'll say that I am not cutting any holes in the bed so that will limit shock size to 10-12 inches, probably 10 if I am not mistaken. I also want to run hydro bumps when I can afford them. What shackle / spring setup would give maximum wheel travel (obviously) considering this? Most first gens run shocks through the bed or behind the axle, but both of those are not options based on what I want to use the truck for. I'll be carrying a shell and probably 300lbs of gear when camping. Thank you.

Dalandser [OP] said: ↑ Thank you man. I'm still thinking about the spare stuff if you still have it, but I'm waiting to hear if I'll be able to start a teaching job this year before the summer. I'm trying not to spend any unnecessary funds in case I need to use my savings to get through the summer. Click to expand...

Using a short shock under the bed is what will limit your travel, you will end up losing a lot of the travel those springs have. If you are set on keeping the shocks below the bed then you might as well stick with a mid travel set up for the springs and not spend the money and time on springs that won't get used. I am sure you have seen the mid travel thread but a lot of guys in there with springs in the stock hangers but using a 10-12" shock. The only other way would be to cantilever the shocks but that wouldn't work with how you want the spare tire

I'd be putting the shocks outboard and I realize that this will limit my travel. I also have plans to eventually weld in some sheet metal and make a low profile bed cage that will accept longer shocks, but keep the dust and water out of the bed - it's kind of an evolving build.
