Re: Let's Talk Long Travel
Can you do the long travel set-up front and rear and still leave the bed functional?

Yes. The reason why a lot of people cage the bed is so that they can mount massive coilovers and triple-bypass shocks. People that stick with leaf springs will actually do a spring under conversion for a better quality ride. Leaving the factory bed in place limits the shock choices so ultimately you're left with less travel. But it can be done.

I'm going to dump ice in your sleeping bag at 3 in the morning.
Depends on how you define "long travel" and "functional", Brady. The more travel you have back there, the more shock you need, and it comes up through the bed and so most guys just cage it out because when you've got that much travel you aren't exactly using the truck to pop down to Home Depot. But with 4WD limiting your front travel you don't need monster travel in the rear anyway, so you could leave the bed intact or just cut out holes for the smaller shock towers and box them in.

Thanks, that's good to know. I don't think I'd be willing to lose the functionality of the truck bed just to gain some additional travel. But, if I had an old Ford Ranger laying around that's another story.

As much as I love the Tundra, I'm a Ford truck guy. I like the look of these.
