Boom

ARE Topper, fridge in back seat. No water since I ran out today, high guess of 200 pounds of stuff in the bed, hi lift in bed.





So yeah, I'd say they are flat.

 

Of all the leaf talk, anyone run something like this? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...m-shackle-flip-lift-kit.403630/#post-11260222

 

how do you like them? Worth while getting? Currently the sumo springs are adding just shy of an 1" of lift?

 

Whats the best for the dollar UCA's? I'm guessing the uniball setups are the way to go? I'm debating on a set to try and see if that's my clunk.

 

They add lift and i think they ride better. I would not go back.

 

I have my old ones if you want those.

 

Old stock ones? I guess that would be a quick way to see if that is the issue or not.

Why again did Toyota put a 74" bolt through the UCA?

 

Damn it.. Another thing to add to the list of stuff to get.. This is truly an expensive truck...

 

Yup. And yup that would. And i think you should see toyota about that.... Its only normal for them to be about 20 so iwould get that checked.

 

I still haven't been able to swing by for them to check out the "normal" leak all over the bottom of the engine. :/

Do you think this AAL would do anything for my flat leafs? http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/D29XL--OME-Extra-leaf-for-CS047R-springs_p_1007.html

And would I have to take them all the way off the truck to put those into the pack? Would I need longer hardware and such?

 

I don't know if it will fix the flatness, but it will help with weight capacity. No you would not have to take the packs all the way off. I helped a 1st gen put aal on his truck, wit the leafs on the truck. You just have to unbolt the axle. You will need a longer centering bolt to hold the pack together.

 

Now I just have to figure out whether its worth the trouble for a half ass band aid or just upgrade to something better. I'm leaning towards the latter.

 

2nd gen problems.
I love my early edition Dakars.
Nice arch, they never go flat with a load, happy with the ride.

 

Hey guys,

Figured I would see if anyone here knows of anything. I'm looking to move back to Colorado and am looking for a job there to make it happen. I am a mechanical engineer with lots of hands on experience. Certified SolidWorks Design Engineer, and several years of work experience. Looking for an engineering I position, product design, machine shop technician, basically anything related to my degree and experience. I went to school in Golden, and would love to make it back out there.

Thanks for any help!
