Bimonthly Pittsburgh Meetups

Like these guys have said, save the dough and ask for help. Cheaper and get the satisfaction of diy. As far as lifts go, I've had most of them between my 2 tacomas. Had a ready lift on my last one. It was ok but then changed to 5100s with Eibach springs and that rode 100x better. Put LR arms on to correct alignment and saved them after my accident to use on this one. Then had KINGS on this one first. They were reaally smooth but way overkill for what I do. Switched them out for 5100s and OME 887 springs. They ride really nicely too and I would use them again and again now. For the rear I had a block on my first one and wouldn't do that again to save my ass. Caused horrible axle wrap. Changed out for dakars and ome shocks. Great setup but limited travel because of the shocks. On this truck, dakars and the longer 5100 rears. They are almost too long I think for just having the springs and no shackle flip. I could br wrong. Anyhow that's my opinion.

 

This is the best opinion anyone has given me. Straight up, no bias, no sales pitch. Thanks @NC15TRD

I've been thinking, 5100 all around, 887 coils, 1/4" spacer for Taco lean and then the single Deaver leaf. Option to add the LR UCA's, but I'm nervous if I should go with something better. This is my daily driver and I don't have another vehicle.

Pretty clueless on installation or if I'm missing anything else.

For wheels I was leaning toward 275 70R18, but I love your entire set up. Your truck is exactly the look I'm trying to achieve.

What's your flag mod my friends and I are looking for a way to attach a flag for tailgates. (We like to travel a lot to away football games......and of course Bucco games)

 

You guys are awesome. @MidnightRebel07 @odi77 @moe2o4

I live in South Side. Every time I want to work on the truck I have to find a friend to help.

I did the exhaust at 3 AM, in a residential neighborhood in Whitehall, with hardly any light.

 

Haha I used to live in southside, place is insane on weekend nights...but my place had a garage and driveway so it wasn't terrible

 

Anytime! Honestly, I'd go with LR arms again and not worry. They fixed the issues and are building goodarms now. Otherthan that I'd go with Total Chaos. Simple reason: they work. If you use the 887 coils go with different arms. You'll want them anyhow and no need to spend money on 2 alignments.

If you really want you can just buy my truck lol. But seriously if you are interested enough I am looking to sell my wheels and tires. Nothing wrong with them, just want to change it up.

And the flag was just a piece of PVC with the flag zip tied to it and slid down over my CB antenna.

 

Lol

 

nothing new for you nick!

 

Lol if I ever stop I hope you all attend my funeral! That'll be the only time I stop!

 

Bet the neighbors in Whitehall loved you for that. LOL.

Night wrenching is always fun, at least when it's warm enough.

 

I am down for the 6th of March. Noon @ Primantis in the strip?

 

I know who to call when I do my lift in the spring haha

 

I've been over it for a bit, but it is nice to be able to walk everywhere. Going the opposite way of traffic is good too.

 

I love South Side

 

I will say when I lived down there the wife and I did walk EVERYWHERE even took the Dogs most places let us eat outside when we had the dogs it was pretty cool

 

I dont think I ever remember going there...but thats what is supposed to happen right?

 

Well when you go to Tads and buy $2 bombs... yes
