What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Yeah, definitely wouldn't want it any higher though that's for sure haha

I'd honestly like it to be about 3-4 inches lower than it currently sits, but where it's at now isn't bad.

 

I agree. Mines originally that high so I could use the annex with ifs. Then I did sas and would not mind having it way lower. Little tipsy now

 

Haha exactly. I like having the height for the annex as well.

Mine isn't too tipsy, but I definitely can notice it in some high off camber areas. I'm nowhere near as tall as you though.

 

Gotcha! Thanks for the info!

 

Agreed

 

How often are you checking it?

 

Found these today...

 

I figured Id go with the timbren bumpstops figured might as well go with those to minimize modifing I'm just an average DIY'r I don't have a shop or anything major like some of you all lol. But I got the basic stuff.

 

There's these, not as much

 

These are what I plan on buying. This is what my driver's side bumpstop looks like.



The passenger side has been ripped off entirely; there is no bump stop on that side.

I should probably order these soon. Like today.

 

The stock bumps are fucking hockey pucks ha

 

I don't even have my leafsprings yet.... 3 to 4 weeks has slowly turned into 5. Oh well I guess.

But these are what I'm getting when they come.

 

I don't even have any coming yet. It's just one of the eventual purchases I will make. My stock leafs are worn to shit. Nearing flat. I might order them and the bumpstops so I can do them at the same time.

 

I put brand new springs on last fall and they never had positive arch. I think flat is pretty much stock, but I don't know.

 

Well good on you I guess. I checked them every two days for a month after I replaced them when I lifted but I haven't checked them in a year or so now.

 

I'm just going to have to wait on bumpstops lol I won't even mall crawl till I get them. Which is fine with me. Biggest pain is having to install them after installing my lift. The garage called and told me that it'll cost $500 just to install the coilovers and rear suspension. I'll pass and do it myself.

 

I like my superbumps, but if you have access to a welder, I'd recommend buying the bumps without the mount and then making your own. No telling if those mounts are the correct height for your application either.

 

Why not go to the junkyard and pull some bumps stops off of something there. Got mine for 10 bucks and drilled a hole in the rear bump stop pad (Got bumpstops with a threaded end) and used the u bolt plate as the strike pad.

See triangle bumps next to the shocks on the frame.

If all you want to do is stop uptravel at a certain point that's a fine solution, but the superbumps provide a nice cushioned bump for those of us that like to go faster.

 

These provide a lot of cushion. If you need more, drill some holes in it. Not a sudden stop or huge bang.

EDIT: This is just an idea for guys on a budget. I personally think people are crazy for paying the price they do for rubber bumps. Have the triangles in the back and ones similar to superbumps and wheelers in the front. Work great for go fast(ish) and slow crawling. Fast being washes and faster trails. And dont break the bank at all.
