slade420 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 they say they offer more than what they show, so fingers crossed... download the pdf catalog...theres a bit more stuff in there, but we'll see what they have when they return my email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Pardon me for being new, but what are the benefits of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 replacing the stock upper control arms let's you crank the torsion bars slightly more for more lift and still maintain some downward travel of the suspension, the tubular design incorporates a different angle where the ball joint sits, which helps in re-aligning the front end. If you crank the torsion bars to get more lift using the stock upper control arms as you raise the front end the control arm get's closer to the bump stop. Once the arm is sitting up against the bump stop you have no downward travel of the suspension, and also raising the front end that much provides a very firm ride.

Makes sense, I guess I need these, I'm on the bump stops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Doesnt TC make hard core off road racing kits for IFS trucks? Yes. It's VERY expensive, but offers like 13" of travel on IFS front end. There's a whole slew of parts that have to be replaced with that kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Makes sense, I guess I need these, I'm on the bump stops other things I have seen people do is to cut the factory bump stops to make them lower or to replace the stock bump stops with a low profile one from companies such as energy suspension, but you really would be better with the aftermarket UCA's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hmm.. I thought total chaos only made them for the 2wd... if they are for 4x4.. its relatively new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I know they have a 4x4 long travel setup for the WD22 Xterra, but I'm not 100% sure if they have one for the WD21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slade420 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 i might be wrong, but arent the UCA's in the calmini 2wd lift the same as the UCA's in their 4x4 lift kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 they may be but the 4x4 strut rod goes towards the rear and the 2wd goes towards the front so I guess that's why a 2wd and 4wd kit would be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slade420 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) i wrote them an email and got bad news..... Yep - nothing available for 4WD - sorry! My guy thought you were inquiring about 2WD - duh? Sorry about that - and as far as we know, there really is nobody out there doing Hardbody 4x4 components. You might Cal Mini's @ (909) 622-1381. Thank you, KARTEK OFF-ROAD. 2 good 2 be true Edited April 28, 2010 by slade420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
