RCLT, Heavy Duty Toyota IFS Long Travel Kit

Welcome to the birth of the Toyota Rock Crawling IFS industry, brought to you by the founder of the Rock Crawling industry, Marlin Crawler.

NEW All orders now receive exclusive access to our online installation database with 1-on-1 support!

The facts are simple:

• A 35" tire is the minimum entry size to be taken serious as a Rock Crawler
• No Long Travel IFS Kit can Rock Crawl 35" tires without modifying the cab A-pillar mount, and therefore
• No Long Travel IFS Kit is designed for Rock Crawling

The goals of the all-new Marlin Crawler Long Travel IFS:

• To install 35" tires without cab mount frame bracket modification
• To improve approach angle closer to or on par with Solid Axle Conversions
• To take full advantage of the Heavy Duty MarRack Steering System
• To carve a new path away from existing Long Travel kits not designed for Rock Crawling

How Marlin Crawler accomplished this:

• By moving the knuckle forward for tire clearance & approach angles never done before
• By increasing ground clearance of the traditional lower control arm design to a level never done before
• By having the strongest factory-style steering system integrated with the IFS in a way never done before

"If you can drill a hole and weld upside down, you can install RCLT HD" — Nate, Dirt Lifestyle

The Patented RCLT HD is born

RCLT HD stands for Rock Crawling Long Travel, Heavy Duty, and is the very first Long Travel IFS Kit specifically designed for the Rock Crawler.

RCLT HD has many unique industry first features that puts it in a newly created market segment strong enough for Rock Crawling. Main features include...

• Relocate front axle so far forward it requires a new steering system,
• Unmatched IFS approach angle,
• Unmatched IFS ground clearance,
• Unmatched IFS knuckle strength,
• Unmatched IFS steering strength,
• Unmatched IFS geometry stability,
• Flex equal to wider LT kits yet without requiring fiberglass fenders,
• Ability to run 35" tires without body mount frame bracket modification, and
• It is the first IFS system that challenges the benefits of a Solid Axle Swap

For these reasons, RCLT HD avoids competing with existing Long Travel kits and is why RCLT HD is proudly Patented! (No. 11066099)

RCLT HD is 100% designed, developed, tested, built and manufactured in Central California, using USA steel with USA-made FK uniball bearings and tie rod ends. Comprised of 248 carefully designed individual parts, it is not just another Long Travel kit. This is a first-of-a-kind full IFS and steering systems integrated replacement consisting of...

• Never-before-done two-inch forward control arm geometry,
• Never-before-done knuckle geometry, and
• Never-before-done steering geometry
• ...and made possible by the MarRack steering rack replacement and our extended length steering arms that reduce driver steering effort perfect for handling oversized tires on- or off-road. In fact, RCLT HD has the strongest Toyota Long Travel Knuckle ever made, with our signature one-piece steering-hub-caliper solid lower section cut from billet larger than two dual case adapters!

   

  Strength, handling, steering, ride quality, & on/off-road
  traction is unparalleled in the Toyota IFS market

  While RCLT HD was never meant to replace a Solid Axle Swap, it greatly challenges the benefits thereof in the following ways:

  • RCLT HD has vastly more ground clearance and less unsprung mass than an SAS
  • Is 99% bolt-on and easily transferable from vehicle to vehicle
  • May be removed and all original IFS components reinstalled
  • Retains all factory ABS, cruise, and traction control systems
  • Reuses OEM brakes and hub components for ease of service
  • Can be aligned by any shop without special instructions
  • Retains superior handling, ride quality, & stability for daily-drivers
