Discussion in ' 2nd Gen. Tacomas (2005-2015) ' started by Single6 , Nov 10, 2010 .
FYI: For 2nd Generation Tacoma owners considering a Long-Travel Build/Conversion I spent close to a year researching every build and equipment permutation for a front and rear Long-Travel (LT) Conversion of my 2006 Tacoma Double-Cab 4x4. Yes, I spent many hours on the internet, and investigated, contacted or visited virtually every manufacturer and fabricator in Southern California that offered and/or installed LT suspension systems for my Tacoma. Why all the effort? Because I imposed several key constraints/requirements on the build, and was also concerned that I might be underwhelmed or even disappointed by the performance of the LT conversion after spending so much time and money. I have considerable experience driving and riding off-road. One could say, I appreciate a balanced and effective suspension system, not only for speed, but for safety and control. The choices are more complicated than they first appear. I finally pulled the trigger in early summer and have tested the truck on a variety of off-road trips since then. The details of the build can be referenced on my TacomaWorld profile - Username: Single6 The considerable fabrication work for the front and rear LT build was performed by Tim Duncan at DMZ in Norco, CA. using primarily a Total Chaos front suspension package, King shocks , and a DMZ custom perimeter bedcage with a spring-under conversion. Tim (owner) spent hours patiently answering my questions, which covered much more than just suspension, and offered invaluable recommendations and advice on trade-offs, as did the people at Total Chaos, King, Deaver , OMF and VisionX . But Tim really pulled-it together. During the build, Tim creatively solved several problems we confronted, and executed the work as if it was his own vehicle. The results far exceeded my expectations in terms of design, build quality, and both on and off-road performance. I attended a King shock tunng session in Barstow to properly adjust the valving on the bypass shocks soon after the build's completion. A few adjustments from Iribe, the shock tuning specialist, produced marked improvement in ride, speed and control. The bottom line is my Tacoma, after the suspension work and reinforcements, is a vehicle capable of off-road speeds not prudent without a full racing cage. Off-road, the ride improves as the speed increases. Notwithstanding, the ride is equally improved on very rocky, slow patches, for example narrow, old, very rutted mining roads where one has no choice but to go slow in low range. On-highway performance and around town ride is also substantially better - my wife even noticed an improvement. The reason I drafted this thread was primarily to reward good, knowledgable, and helpful people in the industry who are designing, fabricating, and installing quality equipment. Among those people are primarily Tim at DMZ Fabrication & Race Prep, Pat at Total Chaos Suspension, Brian & Iribe at King Shock Technology, Jeff at Deaver Spring, Tim & Bones at OMF Beadlock Wheel Conversions, Joe & Rick at VisionX Off Road Lighting, and the folks at GlassWorks and Allied Wheel. In addition, this may help some Tacoma owners that may be considering Long Travel suspension conversions. Regards, Chris Single6
You California guys get to have all the (offroad) fun. Sounds like a great set up. If you have any pictures, it would be great to see.

were these pictures taken with a film camera? lol nice rig though, we need more pics! film or otherwise
dont tease us like this!!!! we demand pics!!
Truck looks amazing. I spoke with Tim this week about a brake issue and he told me about your truck. DMZ consistently puts out the best work on any build I have ever seen. For those of you on the W.Coast who look to save a few pennies by going with other shops look at the quality and see what your missing!
Sorry, no spare locker. Chris

Welcome to Dirt King!
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!
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.

Wider suspension increases the amount of wheel travel you cycle and allows you to maintain traction in rougher terrain. A wider track width will improve the vehicles cornering stability on and off-road. 2" long travel kits are the best option for those looking to go long travel while potentially retaining stock fenders. Maximize tuneability and customize your ride quality for added vehicle weight and specific terrain with dual shocks. Long travel systems offer better ride quality, component strength and maximum performance for any off-road adventure.
NOTE: Vehicle must be equipped with Total Chaos Long Travel Kit
At their core, long travel kits are wider upper and lower control arms that extend outward from the vehicle.
To ensure your 4WD system remains functional, extended axle shafts that match the width increase are required. For example, a 2" long travel kit will need 2" extended axle shafts.
TC's 2" extended axles are constructed of 4340 heat treated steel and reuse factory Toyota inner and outer CV joints and boots.
Included: ✔ Extended axle shafts - QTY: (2) ✔ C-Clips (on axles) - QTY: (2) ✔ Inner CV boot clamp (large) - QTY: (4) ✔ Outer CV boot clamp (small) - QTY: (4) ✔ Oetiker clamp - QTY: (2)
Fitment: 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma
Please Note: TC Extended Axles are designed for use with OEM Toyota CV joints only. They will not fit with aftermarket auto part store CV joints.
