What are Long Travel Suspension Kits?

Long travel suspension kits are designed to replace the standard suspension system on your Toyota Tacoma, providing extra wheel travel and damping capacity. Essentially, long travel suspension kits work by allowing the suspension to travel further up and down than stock suspension systems. This additional wheel travel helps to absorb impacts better, making for a smoother and more comfortable ride over rough terrain.

How do Long Travel Suspension Kits Work?

Long travel suspension kits work by altering the geometry of the truck's suspension system, allowing for more movement and travel. With a standard suspension system, the truck's wheels can only travel up and down a certain amount before hitting the limits of the suspension's travel. Long travel suspension kits increase the amount of wheel travel to absorb more impact from bumps, jumps, and other rough terrain.

Long travel suspension kits typically come with special control arms that optimize the suspension geometry for the increased travel. Along with the longer travel shocks, these components allow for increased wheel travel without compromising on handling or stability. The result is a more comfortable ride over rough terrain and increased control over the vehicle's movement.

Why are Long Travel Suspension Kits Important?

Long travel suspension kits are essential for any off-road enthusiast looking to take their Toyota Tacoma to the next level. With increased wheel travel, your Tacoma can more easily navigate rough terrain, including rocks, sand, and mud. Long travel suspension kits also help to protect your truck's suspension from damage caused by harsh terrain, preventing expensive repairs down the line.

Long travel suspension kits also provide several performance benefits. Increased wheel travel allows your truck to maintain better contact with the ground on rough terrain, improving grip and reducing slip. The result is greater control over your vehicle's handling, giving you the capability to take on more aggressive terrain with confidence.

Aftermarket Upgrades

In addition to long travel suspension kits, there are several aftermarket upgrades that can further enhance your Toyota Tacoma's off-road performance. Upgrades like stronger control arms, reinforced skid plates, and upgraded axles can all help to increase durability and performance in tough off-road conditions.

At Tacoma Force, we offer a wide range of aftermarket upgrades to help you get the most out of your Tacoma. Our parts are designed to work seamlessly with our long travel suspension kits, giving you a complete solution for your off-road needs.
