Description

• What’s Included
• Vehicle Applications

In this high end Camburg Long Travel kit you will find nothing but the very best in A-Arm performance. Starting with our lower arm, uni-balls in the lower frame pivots, uni-ball lower ball joint replacement, and a stout boxed race arm. The upper arm pivots on urethane bushings with zerk fitting and 1.250″ race uni-balls replace the stock ball joints. We adapt the uni-ball to the spindle with heat treated stainless steel adapters. Utilizing Camburg SPEC 8″ travel 2.5″ reservoir coilovers by FOX or King there is no need to cut the stock coil-over mounts. The shock design has an external top cap so the shock has a 1.5″ shorter overall extend length then all other off-road race shocks. This system will yield up to 15″ travel on a 2×4 and 14″ on a 4×4. This system can also be upgraded with our weld-on bypass shock mount and a custom FOX or King 2.5″ 3 tube bypass shock. So to sum it up this upper and lower uni-ball Long Travel System is for the ultimate in performance so if you are into trail running or desert racing or just exploring Moab you have found the ultimate in performance!

• 2wd models are able to run a coilover, bypass shock and air bump stop
• 4wd models can run a coilover and air bump stop or coilover and bypass shock, not all 3 like the 2wd models
• Fits non KDSS equipped models only

With this kit you have the ability to run a coilover, with a bypass shock and/or hydraulic/air bump stop for the ultimate control for off-road use. We have a Camburg spec. FOX or King 2.5 coilover that we’ve designed to yield maximum useable wheel travel and control with specific valving. For bypass shock setups give us a call or send an email for pricing.

Fiberglass front fenders need to be installed in conjunction with this suspension system. While this kit is able to be 95% bolt-on, we recommend having it installed by a reputable off-road shop familiar with these types of products and components. This is not for your beginner mechanic to handle.

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 also require 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

The Toyota 4Runner has been a popular choice among off-road enthusiasts for its ruggedness and reliability. For 3rd gen 4runner long travel owners looking to take their off-road capabilities to the next level, upgrading to long travel suspension can be a game-changer with   Travelgenus .

Table of Contents

Understanding Long Travel Suspension

What is Long Travel Suspension?

Long travel suspension refers to a modified suspension system that allows for increased wheel travel. It enables the wheels to move up and down more than the stock suspension, which is beneficial when navigating uneven and challenging terrains.

Benefits of Long Travel Suspension

Long travel suspension offers various advantages, making it a sought-after upgrade for off-road enthusiasts . The increased wheel travel allows for better traction, improved handling, and reduced strain on the vehicle during extreme maneuvers.

How it Enhances Off-Road Performance

With long travel suspension installed, 3rd Gen 4runner Long Travel gains the ability to tackle rough terrains with ease. It provides better articulation, meaning each wheel can move independently, keeping more of the tire in contact with the ground. This results in improved grip and stability, essential for off-road outdoor adventures .

Evolution of the Toyota 4Runner

Overview of Different Generations

Toyota has a long history of producing reliable off-road vehicles, and the 4Runner has seen several generations of development. Each generation brought enhancements in performance, comfort, and off-road capabilities.

Introduction of the 3rd Gen 4Runner Travel

The 3rd gen 4runner long travel, produced from 1995 to 2002, is a highly regarded model among off-road enthusiasts. With its body-on-frame construction and sturdy build, it provides an excellent platform for off-road modifications.

Key Features and Specifications

The 3rd Gen 4runner Long Travel came with various features, including a potent V6 engine, four-wheel drive, and ample cargo space. These features, combined with the long travel suspension, make it an ideal choice for adventurous souls seeking thrilling off-road experiences.

Advantages of 3rd Gen 4runner Long Travel

Increased Wheel Travel and Articulation

Long travel suspension allows the wheels of the 3rd Gen 4Runner long travel to move through a more extensive range of motion. This increased wheel travel helps the vehicle maintain contact with the ground, even in highly uneven terrains, ensuring maximum traction and a smoother ride.

Enhanced Stability and Control

The improved articulation and shock absorption of long travel suspension contribute to enhanced stability and control. This is especially valuable when tackling challenging obstacles, such as rocks, sand, or steep inclines.

Better Handling on Rough Terrains

Long travel suspension enables the 3rd Gen 4Runner to handle rough terrains more effectively. It reduces the impact of bumps and shocks, providing a more comfortable and controlled ride, which can be crucial during extended off-road trips.

Choosing the Right Long Travel Kit

Researching available options.

Before upgrading to long travel suspension, thorough research is necessary to understand the available kits and their specifications. Different kits might offer various features and levels of performance.

Factors to Consider Before Purchasing

When choosing a long travel kit for the 3rd Gen 4Runner, consider factors such as budget, intended usage, and compatibility with other off-road modifications you may have or plan to add.

Installing Long Travel Suspension on 3rd Gen 4Runner

Professional installation vs. diy.

Installing long travel suspension requires technical expertise. While some enthusiasts choose the DIY route, professional installation is often recommended to ensure the correct fit and functionality.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

For those daring to install the long travel suspension themselves, here’s a brief step-by-step guide to the process. However, keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive guide, and professional guidance is strongly advised.

• Gather the necessary tools and equipment.
• Lift the 4Runner and secure it on jack stands.
• Remove the wheels and stock suspension components.
• Install the new long travel suspension components.
• Perform necessary adjustments and alignments.
• Test the new suspension for functionality and safety.

Maintaining Long Travel Suspension

Regular inspections and maintenance.

To ensure the long-lasting performance of the upgraded suspension, regular inspections and maintenance are essential. This includes checking for any signs of wear, addressing potential issues promptly, and lubricating moving parts.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting Tips

Even with proper maintenance, issues may arise over time. Being aware of common problems and having troubleshooting tips can help 3rd Gen 4runner Long Travel owners address minor issues and prevent further damage.

Off-Roading Tips for 3rd Gen 4Runner Long Travel Suspension

Safety precautions.

Off-roading can be exhilarating, but it also comes with inherent risks. Prioritize safety by wearing appropriate gear, traveling with a group if possible, and informing others about your off-road plans.

Exploring Different Off-Road Terrains

With long travel suspension enhancing its capabilities, the 3rd Gen 4Runner can tackle a wide range of off-road terrains. From rocky trails to sandy dunes, exploring different environments adds excitement to the off-road experience.

Pushing the Limits Responsibly

While long travel suspension opens up new off-road possibilities, it’s crucial to know the vehicle’s and driver’s limits. Pushing the boundaries responsibly helps prevent accidents and vehicle damage.

Personalizing Your 3rd Gen 4Runner

Accessorizing for off-road adventures.

Personalizing the 3rd Gen 4Runner with accessories designed for off-road use further enhances its capabilities. Items such as roof racks, winches, and off-road lights can be invaluable during excursions.

Adding Lighting Upgrades

Quality lighting is essential for safe off-roading, especially during night-time adventures. Upgrading the lighting system with powerful LED lights can significantly improve visibility.

Upgrading Tires and Wheels

Selecting the right tires and wheels for off-road use can impact the vehicle’s performance and ride quality. Choose tires with aggressive tread patterns for improved traction and consider beadlock wheels for added security.

Upgrading to long travel suspension can transform the 3rd Gen 4Runner into a formidable off-road machine. The enhanced wheel travel, improved stability, and better control open up new possibilities for thrilling adventures. When combined with proper maintenance and responsible off-roading, long travel suspension can elevate the off-road experience to new heights.

Looking for a Wide Stance & Tons of Suspension Travel? Check Out These 10 Unique 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner Long Travel Off-Road & Overland Builds

This Week’s Topic: Long Travel 4Runners

Holy smokes do we have some awesome rigs for you for this Feature Friday! This week we are cranking up the suspension dial WAY past 11 with these 10 killer long traveled 5th Gen 4Runner builds.

So real fast, what is long-travel suspension?

The whole point of long travel is to gain better performance off-road, and more specifically for high-speed off-road applications.

In terms of parts, a typical lift kit allows you to gain more ground clearance by increasing your overall ride height. In simple terms, most common lift kits only require upgraded coilovers, extended rear springs, and maybe some upper control arms if needed/recommended for the lift height. Some of the options might just increase overall performance and some might actually give you more travel. That’s usually where 95% of us would stop and call it a day. Not these dudes…

Long travel kits use that same suspension upgrade concept and then take it to the next level with extended length coilovers, and in some cases, secondary shocks with remote reservoirs for increased damping for compression/rebound.

A long travel kit, due to changes in suspension geometry, will allow for increased wheel travel over factory suspension and assist you with running larger tires. To achieve additional “longer” wheel travel, these kits start with extended lower control arms (LCAs), upper control arms (UCAs) and build from there.

In addition to extended-length upper and lower control arms, most long travel kits will have upgraded wider/stronger axles with stronger joints, extended tie rods, limit straps, extended-length bump stops, and other strength enhancements like gusseted spindles, and gusseted control arm mounts.

For the rear of the 4Runner, a long travel kit will require extended brake lines, upgraded trailing arms, extended height springs, increased travel shocks, and of course, extended length bump stops. When it comes to shocks for long travel kits, they typically feature adjustable remote reservoirs to allow the internal shock body oil to stay within peak operating temperature while the suspension is aggressively cycling, as well as the ability to tune the ride.

Now enough talking, let’s see these rigs in action!!

What Do You Like About Your Setup?

I loved working with LSK Suspension to R&D a 4.5+ LT kit for the 5th Gen 4Runner. From start to finish, they were fantastic with a quick turnaround on sending new parts to swap out ones that weren’t working for this build. This finalized kit is incredible! Everything from the build quality to their customer support, I’m very happy with the choice of going with LSK.

But we’re not here to talk about the company, you’re here to know what it rides like. The answer is simple, it’s like a cloud off-road. The suspension articulates flawlessly while the wheels feel solid and planted. I just point and go, and the 4Runner takes me. Just a friendly reminder though, you’re 9” wider than stock. Having 17×9 wheels with a -12 offset and 35×12.5 tires, puts the outside tire to the outside tire to 89” wide. I believe the kids would call it THICCC . That being said, it’s unlike any other kit on the market and the only one with the upper and lower uniballs on the spindle for the 4runner.

2. Jonathan Armada ( @NC.4Runner ) – 2013 SR5 Premium

• Radflo Shocks/Coilovers
• Radflo Hydraulic Bump Stops
• Total Chaos +2 UCAs
• Total Chaos +2 LCAs
• Dobinsons Rear Arms
• Dobinsons Rear PHB
• Dobinsons Springs

I love how well the 4Runner rides with this suspension set up from Radflo.

The hydro bumps on all 4 corners keep the vehicle handling as if it still had sway bars. The 4Runner crawls really well since I’m able to keep all the tires on the grounds while the rig is articulating. The wider track also gives the 4Runner a better stance and stability off-road as well. And lastly, you can’t forget about that look!

3. AB Castro ( @Dj_ayybeats ) – 2005 SR5 2WD

• Dirt King 3.5+ Long Travel Kit
• Dirt King Upper Arm Sheer Kit
• Dirt King Bypass Shock Hoop Kit
• King Shocks Long Travel Spec 2.5 x 8” Coilovers
• King Shocks Long Travel Spec 2.5 x 8” 3 Tube Bypasses
• Camburg 4” Performance Spindle
• King Shocks 12” Triple Bypasses
• Califabrication Rear Shock Relocation
• Califabrication Adjustable Upper, Lower Links and Panhard Bar
• Dobinsons 3” Dual Rate Coils
• Locked Off-Road 2.0 x 2” Threaded Bump Stops
• Yukon 4:88 Gears

I like that I can daily my vehicle while still being able to take it off-road whenever I want.

This 4Runner is able to withstand the punishment I put it through whenever I take it out on the trail without any hiccups. The setup is simple yet so unique in its own way. This rig is definitely a neck breaker whenever I take it out on the streets or off-road.

Jon’s Note:  Yes I know this is 4th Gen 4R, but it’s SO SICK!!

4. Tim Curley ( @milk.wagon ) – 2018 SR5

• Dobinsons MRR Rear Long Travel Setup
• Dobinsons MRA59-A575 3-Way Adjustable Shocks
• DuroBumps Extended 5.5″ Bump Stops
• Toytec 1″ Body Lift
• Dobinsons Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms
• Dobinsons Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms
• MetalTech 4×4 Extended Stainless Steel Brake Lines
• Dobinsons Adjustable Rear Panhard Bar
• Dobinsons C59-701V Variable Rate Rear Springs

Watching the Dobinsons rear long travel go to work on some rock shelves is almost as fun as actually driving up to them yourself. The amount of articulation the 4Runner gets from these bolt-on parts is truly impressive.

Since my 4R is part of the SR5 gang (open diffs), keeping both rear wheels planted goes a long way in terms of crawling. By no means does this modification replace the need for lockers, but it sure does bring the capability of a SR5 4Runner to a whole new level.

5. Richard Yan ( @ryr_t4r ) – 2019 TRD OR

• Total Chaos +3.5 Race Kit with King Coilovers & Triple Bypass Shocks
• Dirt King Double Shear Upper Gussets
• Custom Gussets For Main Hoop & Engine Crossbar
• Boxed In Lower Control Arms
• DRT Body Mount Relocation Kit
• The rear is custom by AZWillis Fabrication. It’s a cantilever rear end achieving 18″ of wheel travel. It’s also a custom 4 Link with no pan hard bar.

This setup rides nice and smooth. Long travel kits are all about the tuning of the shocks and having the proper setup. You can pay however much you want for a suspension setup, but if it’s not properly tuned, then it’s a waste of money.

I had a lot of trial and error trusting the wrong people when it came to getting this setup dialed in. However, after I had to redo a few things, the stars started to align and I was able to finalize this long travel kit for my 4Runner.

6. Johnny Shin ( @ramensavedmylife ) – 2016 SR5

• BTF 4.5+ Coilover LT Kit
• 2.5 / 8” King Shock Coilovers w/ Triple Tube Secondary Shocks
• 2.0 x 2” Hydro Bump Stops
• 2.5 Stock Replacements w/ OME 899s
• Timbren Rubber Bump Stops

The truck definitely still needs a lot of work, but I do still enjoy how it handles thus far. The limited travel and cushion in the rear still bugs me honestly. But that should all get sorted out in a couple of months when some new suspension bits come in.

I’m just glad I went LT before all the mid travel jazz. Might as well just pay once and enjoy than pay twice and regret it. This truck’s platform has so much potential and I’m still putting all the pieces together.

7. Nathan Krig ( @trdlun4r ) – 2021 TRD Pro

• Total Chaos 3.5” Race Long Travel Kit
• King 2.5” Long Travel Coilovers w/ 700lb springs
• Total Chaos Secondary Shock Hoop w/ King 2.5” Triple Tube Bypass Long Travel Shocks
• Total Chaos UCAs
• OME 700lb 3” Lift Springs
• Total Chaos Rear Control Arm Kit
• 3” King Rear 2 Tube Bypass Shocks
• King Shocks 2” Stubby Air Bumps

I chose components that work well together and that would provide a wide range of tuning for different terrains. Adding the secondary triple bypass front shocks allows the rig to run with no front sway bar and still allows the 4Runner to handle great both on and off-road.

Knowing I can drive how I want, take a turn when I want, and cruise at the same speed off-road as I can on-road is what I wanted out of this build, and it delivers on that with ease.

8. Jacob Cutting ( @mag4rnr ) – 2019 SR5

• BTF Fabrication +4.5” LT Kit
• 8” Coilovers w/ 700lb Springs
• 8” Three Tube Bypass
• 2” 2.0 Bump Stops
• 8” Two Tube Bypass
• Dobinsons 701V Springs

This LT setup allows me to get where I need to go fast and as smoothly as possible. The 4Runner floats over everything I put it through both on and off-road.

With all the extra wheel travel I can keep my tires on the ground while articulating through obstacles. This helps out huge for better traction while off-road since the SR5 doesn’t come with a rear locker like the TRD Off-Road models. Overall this setup is has been great and as an added bonus, the 4R also looks awesome!

9. Chris Alexander ( @shepherdrunna ) – 2018 TRD OR

• Total Chaos +2 Standard Kit
• Total Chaos LCAs
• King Coilovers
• CVJ Extended Axles
• Gusseted Spindles & Cam Tabs
• 12″ Stroke King Coilovers w/ Remote Reservoirs
• Metaltech Upper and Lower Links
• Dobinsons 677V Variable Rate Springs
• Icon Track Bar w/ Eimkeith PCK
• Extended Break Lines

What I enjoy most is the performance this setup delivers both on and off-road. The front long travel works excellent off-road on a variety of terrain while still providing a comfortable driving experience on the highway.

The price point is was pretty reasonable and the customer service by Total Chaos was excellent. All of the products I put on my 4Runner are tried and true. You can’t go wrong with Total Chaos combined with King Shocks.

10. Clinton Saephan ( @amg_t4r ) – 2016 Trail

• Total Chaos +2 Long Travel
• Kings Shocks 2.5 w/ Remote Reservoirs & Adjusters
• 600lb Springs
• Califabrication 3 Link Kit
• Fox 2.0 14” Coilovers w/ Reservoir
• 14”- 250 + 16” – 250 Top-Bottom Spring Rate

What I like about this long travel kit is just how comfortable it rides on and off-road compared to stock/mid travel. The Total Chaos LT kit performs extremely well while rock crawling even though it was originally built for racing, which is what I first liked about it. I definitely love the added stance it also gives to the 4Runner. It just makes your rig look tough and aggressive.

The up travel and down travel performs amazingly as well. I’m able to keep my rigs tires planted on the ground most times while traversing over sketchy terrain. With the LT kit being wider than the stock track width, the rig feels a bit safer while going through sketch sections or tipsy areas out on the trail. You will not be disappointed with this kit from Total Chaos.

Final Thoughts

These next-level long travel 4Runners were absolutely amazing! I enjoy how each owner picked a long travel suspension kit for their own reasons as well. The SR5 group chose LT to help compensate for the lack of rear locker in their 4Runners. Several owners mentioned this, and to be honest, that never even crossed my mind as a reason to justify a better suspension system. See, even I learned something with this Feature Friday.

Other builds on this list were built to go fast through any terrain. You can see that in the @builtbysquirrels , @magrnr , and @trdlun4r builds. These rigs are next level and have been built to literally conquer any terrain, and fast. All the builds this week were absolutely KILLER! I can’t wait to see next week’s submissions.

If you would like to be considered for next week’s Feature Friday, we will be showcasing AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS.

We want readers to get inspired by a variety of rigs/products. Submit your build for Feature Friday and you might get featured. If you would like to submit your build for next week, include your setup details and an awesome photo that shows it off.

Have a great weekend everyone!

 CHRIS ALEXANDER ( @SHEPHERDRUNNA ) – 2018 TRD ORWhy the extended axles and gusseted spindles? For suspension or wider wheel tires

What size tires are on NATHAN KRIG (@TRDLUN4R) – 2021 TRD PRO? I really like the set-up.

It would be interesting if someone highlighted the changes needed for LT in the rear. I’ve purchased the TC kit for the rear of my 5th gen (not installed yet), and was wondering if the sway bar needs extensions, or just run it like it is.

Also, Ben at Filthy Motorsports posted a vid on youtube on 5th gen 4runner rear shocks and considerations thereof, when running LT.

It kinda makes your head spin!

Thanks for the article, Mike

You can buy extended adjustable links, from Dobinson’s for example, I run MT rear LT shocks and your lower trailing arms will bottom out on the axle housing before the swaybar becomes a limiting factor. I run a combination of offset trailing arms and extended sway bar links and get full ~12″ of travel out of the rear shocks.

Honestly, I’d delete the rear swaybar. Try it before the lift goes on to test it out. You won’t even notice it’s gone.

Delete? That is a possibility. When I’m done I want to try it out with and without to see how it goes. I’m adding a bunch of weight in the build so I’m curious to see if the adjustable shocks and stiffer springs are enough by themselves, or do I still need the sway bar.

There was some very sweet builds in this line up as to be expected once someone gets to the point of true LT. Keep up the great articles.
