+SconnieHailer's Build & BS+

Nope. Got plans to rebuild for the new numbers once i measure with the new pack. Talked to dsm already and kicking around a few possibilities. Thanks for looking out for my shocks hope all is well in ak, rained all day here today!

Thanks Stephen, looking forward to ditching the aal!

 

Getting used to it. Wish I was in wy tho...oh well.

And good man.

I would hate to see those kings get ruined haha especially after both my rear sets haven't fit right.

 

You'll enjoy getting back that much more.

Yea getting the rear setup properly can be tedious. Wishing i had 10 inch strokes right now... or better yet a relocation setup.

 

Getting all of those measurements just right is no joke. Then you have to think about what happens if you change the suspension setup......

Definitely be worth it though once it is needed off road.

 

Agreed tor, maybe I'll have ohlins bitches like you! Lol. I just couldnt handle the garbage non tsb toyota leafs any longer! Plus im going to be adding some weight soon... lots of garage floor time coming up!

 

I seriously am considering the TSB leaf pack as well.

 

RAGE. My new U-bolts wont be here until monday... Thanks USPS

Got the new UCA's on, Coils cranked, all greased, torqued to spec and sittn good ready for the rear to be finished. Whitey is not happy about this bro lean for the next few days! I'll just drive the wifes car to work to spare the embarrassment

Pic's later today, i'll probably tear into the rear and get as far as i can without the U bolts. The front end is at 39.5 inches from the ground to fender on 265/75/16's, should be perfect with the expos!

Yea I'd start on the springs. Can't hurt and can be a bitch haha

 

Leafs where a breeze compared to the UCA's!! Done, just waiting for U-bolts took ~3 hours including setting up stands and lifting. Working on a new truck is so easy! everything just unbolts and goes how it's supposed to haha. Pictures in a few.

 

Pictures already!!!!

 

Pictures:
Old Vs New...


Old out.


New in.


Greasin up


Pulling the old uca out


New uca in


Passenger side.


My awesome new bed trunk. 50 gallons! Fits everything. Takes up some room though...


From a ways back when I was cutting my bed mat to fit. 6'by4' horse stall mat 35$


This 25$ harbor freight cig lighter compressor is awesome. Does 2 psi per minute filling my tires


The baby antelope are dropping


This guy couldnt have been more than a few hours old!!!

 

Also to note. When doing UCA's just cut the head off the long uca bolt and pull it out backwards and get new longbolts... Unless yours look like they will come out easy cuz that took the most time, squeaking those out the front. Up to you, bend the shiz out of your wheel well sheet metal in the way or spend a few bucks for new bolts.

 

Looks great

 

Thanks Patrick, you still loving SUA over SOA?

 

Oh yeah! Maybe camping I'll be kicking myself in the butt but hopefully the compression adjusters will aid with that.

 

Sweet. Compression adjusters eh! nice.

Ya I think the expos will handle all my camping gear no problem! It will be nice not being a bumpstop rockstar like i was before lol.

 

That little antelope is awesome!

 

Yea they are pretty dang cute, no homo. Brightened up my work day that's for sure! The moms will just bust off in a dead out sprint and the little ones pretend they're invisible, which they almost are in the sage. Took some pictures and left so mom could finish licking the fresh one.

 

You going to do a shock location kit?

 

No plans to. Going to rebuild what I got and make it work the best i can with bumps and strap if i need to. DSM seems to think they can rebuild what I have to work with the expo pack... I said wha? so we'll see. Once everything is on i'll take my measurements and see how close they can get me. I'll bump it out all day, i'd rather not have to go through with strapping.
