Fabtech, ProComp 6" lift or more. Pictures

And now im waiting to see why cap would go DB over LT

 

Me also

 

Couple reasons

Expense mostly

I don't want to have to mess with glass fenders (expense) and I don't think they'd look good on my truck

I can but spare CVs now for $35 instead of $600 (expense)

I don't want my wheelbase 4" wider. Trails are tight enough as it is.

I don't want to add spacers in the rear to match the fronts width or to buy a new rear axle

I feel like adding LT in the front just opens a new can of worms. By the time I buy the new front suspension I'll be close to $15k in parts and mods I think. I'm pretty much tapped out on what I'm willing to spend on this project. I don't see the cost/benefit value of LT for what I use the truck for.

 

I figured expense would be the reason. I think I asked you before now that I think of it.

 

Have you thought about ditching the 37's and going to 35's? Put 887's on, have more center ground clearance than a DB on 37's, less wear and tear on gears/transmission, better ride etc.. Putting a DB on opens another can of worms as well..

 

All it does is raise the COG of the truck. And maybe some vibration(that can usually be fixed easily) from the driveshafts. So what can of worms does it open?

 

Weaker components, cutting the cross member, higher COG, less center clearance, if he wants high performance coil overs they are more expensive for a DB lift.

 

You get what you pay for. I've seen some DB lifts put through some serious shit and not give. But I understand those who'd rather spend that 2k+ on coilovers and UCAs. I'd much rather do that as well

 

Dropping the 37s for 35s ain't happening without a DAMN good reason. I love my 37s and with the money I save running surplus tires I can buy a shit ton of parts for the wear and tear I supposedly get but have yet to actually see. Swapping to 35s in my mind is equivalent to "why don't you be like everyone else". I didn't cut 2square feet of firewall out to do what everyone else is doing.

I wouldn't swap to 887s. If I DB or not doesn't matter, I'm getting coilovers either way.

Raising the center of gravity in my mind is a moot point. Any lift is going to raise it even the coveted SAS. Maybe that's where my 150lb wheels and tires would come in handy.

At this point the biggest deciding factors are money and o
If my 16.5" wheels will fit. Once I see if the wheels will fit I'll decide if I wanna drop another 1500 into the front suspension or use it to get a custom leaf pack.

If they fit, and the money is there I may just do it to have the only mid traveled drop bracket 37" crawlboxed truck.

 

LOL...yeah that aftermarket drop bracket stuff looks a lot weaker...LOL

 

She was so cute & innocent in the beginning

 

I REALLY want to see your truck parked next to a stock Tacoma. That is your assignment.

 

Yes!!

 

Still waiting...Go out and find a stock Tacoma to park next to. I really want to see the height difference.

 

Will do at some point.....don't get out into town much.

 

Sounds good. I'll keep a check on this thread to see it.

 

Has anyone kept their corssmember? If so I might be in the market to buy it depending on how much is there and how much you want for er. Anyone?

 

I may have mine in the shed still. No charge for it but shipping might kill you across the boarder.

 

I live 20 from Minnesota so I am a lucky Canadian, except for the whole exchange rate! PM if you would like to!
