Colorado B.S. Thread

I was told last week that center of the hub to bottom of the fender should be roughly 23" to obtain 2.5 inches to 3 inches of lift. Whats yours measure out at?

 

Who are you asking since you are not quoting?

 

They took some measurements acknowledge that there was negative arch over the axle and told me they would be in touch after deaver got back to them. they are talking about maybe having an add a leaf to the boss pack

 

So the taco lean for you was corrected with the Alcan pack?.... I have been thinking about going that route my taco lean sucks I have the stock leafs with an Icon AAL it rides alright but the lean is bad and they are starting to sag..

 

i don't know what your talking about gramps!! did you forget your glasses today? HE HE HE

yeah i know it got confusing because there was 2 different toytec lift questions within the same page, it was FLboarders post about the fronts

 

Driver side is 21 1/4 and passenger is 22 so the lean isn't as bad as it was. This is with the springs on the 2nd perch. When I bought the springs I was told to leave the 5100's set to the lowest perch because these springs were designed for that setting and would still give the 2.5" lift and Have a smoother ride verses the eibachs which for that height I would have to put them on the 2nd perch. When I had the spring and shock combo set at the lowest perch I didn't get any lift over stock with my metal bumper on. Now I know I wouldn't get the full 2.5" lift because of the bumper but I didn't expect to not get any lift at all. the allpro bumper isn't a heavy bumper compared to other steel bumpers.

 

If the 10 leaf looks like hammered dog shit the 11 will look like regular dog shit.

 

Funky, i should have taken measurements on mine when i was running 5100's and eibach coils a couple weeks ago, i had mine setup by toytec at the .85 setting and was able to achieve 2.5" of lift. Wonder if your just running to light of a spring with the extra added weight up front, very odd. Anyhow id call toytec if you haven't already

 

I'm sure they are working on a solution for me. Mike said this was suppposed to be the heavy duty pick and it seems more like a standard pack. Miles acknowledged Bob has a similar issue. They will call me im sure. Deaver may come back with a new leaf pack. I'm st glad they acknowledged it and are working with me

 

At least they are helping you. I just got the shaft

 

Just beware that the leaf pack I have along with what Noah has is designed to work with the shackle flip. If you contact Alcan tell them you have a standard rear set up, want "X" amount of rear lift, and plan on carrying "Y" amount of weight. Also mention you want to fix the "Taco lean". They are then custom built from there hence the cost. But so far they are the best investment I have made on the rear suspension.

Or reach out to Eric of the North. He too can build you a custom leaf pack to help you out. Not sure what sort of product warranty he has on his springs though.

 

Since when did they start selling Drive Shafts?

But seriously man you might try another call in now. Or maybe our resident MOD Sean (hint hint Sean) can help you get the ball rolling. I am sure your experience was NOT intentional.

 

Thanks for the Alcan advice I think the investment would be well worth it.... I did take notice of Eric of the Norths handy work
.

 

Glad they are working with you Andy, keep us posted

 

You're right! Lol

 

It's a joint effort with some squirrelly young punk (I forget his name) and it's not an original idea, but I'd certainly be willing to lend a hand to anyone else wanting to give a bastard pack a shot.

The only real trick is finding a good donor set. I lucked out with an almost neighbor who gave me the ones I used. Brett (oh yeah that's it) scored at the junk yard finding an SUA truck missing its bed.

As far as warranty goes, it's along the lines of what's referred to in the industry as a "taillight warranty"

 

My limited experience definitely leads me to agree with gramps that the lean is most effectively addressed with the leaf springs.

 

Da fuq?
