New England B.S. Thread

Meh, if you measure and things work, no sense in spending money to replace parts that don't need replacing. I actually bought LR UCA's when I did my lift and didn't end up installing them since the stock ones work just fine.

The bump stop thing should probably be checked out though, especially if you go with the extended length 5100's. They aren't meant to fit on a Tacoma and having the shock bottom out could break the shock or send the stem through the bed if you bottom out hard enough. Here's the thing though, think about how substantial the Dakars or All Pro leaf packs are and now try and think of when you would actually manage to bottom them out... I'm sure people manage to do it, but I'd also imagine it takes a hell of a hit to do so.

I can't wait to see the Ironman lift, it seems like a nice setup!

 

I think so/hope so. I did a ton of reading on here and other forums that I hate mud was a good resource for info

 

Taking the F150 to RI trails tomorrow to make some new ones and explore the tight trails and make them wider.

 

Cool a brush buster is always appreciated

 

Still got the UCAs??? I've got the 13mm spacers to reduce the rake on my truck and I just may need a set, even though the truck aligned well before I added all the armor.

Also agreed, take a hellova a lot to bottom them out. It's one of the reasons I didn't mix & match with my lift. Knowing OME I knew that their stuff would be paired up properly and should give me a solid working setup.

 

My Lift Came With The 885'S . It Rides Real Nice

 

lmao. You living in Easton everyone in Attleboro north too, plainville, norton, foxboro, easton, mansfield, taunton will get a taste of this truck. It's a friends truck that we all rip on. You may just get a taste of the terror

 

Nope, already sold them off about a year ago. I'm only lifted about 1.5" so I was able to get a decent alignment with the stock UCAs.

 

Crap, you are correct sir. If later in the day during the week is better for you that might work depending on the day..we're 90% done if I got it right.

 

Will I be reading about you in the paper

 

It is just a question of cutting the harness and soldering in the third light.

 

Only if they catch him

 

I just got a call from the trucking company lift will be delivered tomorrow!!!!

 

Not if when

 

Lmao we had that discussion as a cop passed us. "if he turns around im blasting into the woods and waiting for him to pass"
Tonight we are routing the exhaust into a stack with that flexible Dryer hose like stuff into a stack I got for free...No muffler still. The timing is off so we are going adjust it till it "sounds" right. The Rear wheel cylinders are blown so he Tee'd them off with new line so it's awesome for burnouts lol. Already flipped the air cleaner upside down to get a little more air in. and make a 2014 Mazda 6 seat belt work in it I also got for free (probably worth more than truck)

 

Day 32: the Priuses don't suspect a thing

 

Well with the stock shocks and the 3" lift, I wonder if the shocks are being over extended.

 

I was looking at the Ironman lift too.....then I just saw Haslefre and someone else saying they both have about an inch difference in height in the rear. One guy switched the packs around too just to try it because OZ drive on the other side and the Ironman have side specific leaf packs(driver and passenger). Just made it worse I guess

And Pugga.....ya i typed wrong....I want the all pro "standard" pack...not the expo.

 

Ya I saw that. They were concerned about labels on the leafs. I also saw a post where they switched and it made it better. I will post up my experience and opinion when done. It wil be a little while before I can start on it

 

Yes, when you are airborne like the Dukes of Hazzard. Best to get some limit straps installed before you go jumping your Taco again.

Wait, I forgot where you live. Best to get those straps installed before the next pothole season
