Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Will 2nd gen leafs fit a 1 gen?

 

I hear a craigslist coming!

 

Actually my bad they will not unless some cutting is involved i think! @Nicklovin

 

Resi's all the way. They help keep air expelled from the oil in your shocks. You'll be happy you went resi when you see others running into shock failure. No need to worry about the tensioners now as those can be added later but I'm pretty certain you cannot add resi's later so pick them up now. Good luck and stoked for you.

 

X2 on the resi. Don't need to service as much.

 

Aren't the leaf springs the same between short bed and long bed tacos...?

 

Nope, they're different

 

Are you lifted? The stock CV axel needle bearing is often an issue when lifting our trucks causing excessive play/vibration. 99.9% of the time it's the driver side that fails. I tossed that bearing in the trash when I swapped suspensions. Check out the ECGS clamshell bushing. It's a fantastic replacement

Edit. And yes your LCA bushing(s) looks shit. Time to swap those as well.

 

You have my attention haha. I wonder if 2nd gen and 3rd gen are the same leaf pack

 

I think they're the same. I don't have an OEM part number on hand, but OME Dakars or AllPro for instance, they sell the same leaf springs for both long bed and short bed. Can you not have the recall done for your Tacoma?

 

Affirmative. Long bed and short bed leafs are the same length.

 

The recall leaf pack sits low. It dropped the rear end of my truck about an inch. They ride smooth which is nice.

 

I think they added a leaf this year to the 16 not sure, btw i just found out the memeber already sold his truck and gave all the parts. My leaf springs are flat on my 16 almost inverted (crappy pic)

 

Mine look flat too. They are a 4 leaf pack for the new recall leafs.

 

So England is going to try the ol' independence thing. Kind of ironic, eh? Back to our government, my firm start date has been pushed back till the 11th due to, well, slow fuckers at the Veterans Hospital HR department sitting on paperwork. So, who's down to do some Eastern Sierras Wheeling and camping?

 

I'm in

 

Could do a Friday after you get off work and come back Sunday?

 

Fuck scenic. Let's off road to Vegas then. Haha. Maybe when the desert cools for that kind of trip. The high Sierras is where its at this time of year.
