Official Tennessee Thread

I like the look, and I have a closet full of tshirts....

 

So which rear spring option are you suggesting I go with? I've left the options open so you can see what they offer in this kit. It's a pretty big price bump to do a complete spring pack.

 

I love my expo pack in the read it handles the loads very well and still gives me lift. I went with the camburgs with the moog ball joint just because it can be replaced fairly easy with over the counter parts. I have my billies set at 0" with 885 and fount this setup to be softer than the shocks set at 2.5 with the stock off road springs. I think I will change out the front down the road for something with more lift and something firmer that can be adjusted most likely.

 

I plan on putting Dakar's in the rear on mine, and wish I had just done that instead of a progressive AAL to begin with. If you switch to the LR UCA's it will offset some of the cost of rear springs.

 

Something more like this? That only adds another $180

 

I think you'll be happier with that than anything you've posted do far.

 

Something I'm hopping to avoid, is upgrading later. I'd like to get a complete install done that will work for the life of the truck. I did that on my Ford, spent nearly as much upgrading as I did on the initial lift kit.

 

Yeah that looks way better I think. Hopefully you can catch some sweet deals on some black friday stuff.

 

Alright. Time for new rotors and pads. I want some suggestions from you few that I trust opinions from.
I have looked at several threads and have skimmed back through this thread, and have some mixed information

I prefer stopping power to longevity. If I have to use my brakes, they need to perform.

What is your go to pad and rotor for a 2nd gen 4x4?
Will also be doing the drums... and have heard oem are fine, but open to suggestions all around.

Thank you in advance!

 

Ebc stage 3 dimpled and slotted rotors with green pads.

As for drum brakes I just run the best option that advanced auto sells

 

How much lift do you do?

 

@Dave41079 Good luck in your interview Dave!

 

Make sure you turn your phone OFF before you go in!!!

 

This is exactly what you want but switch the green pads for the yellow pads. They are high performance pads

 

Tha fuck are you doing man!? Toy tech coilovers are not better then 5100s and Eibach springs. Don't get a 1 leaf aal EVER. At least get a 3 leaf progressive pack. Toy tech shocks are not better then 5100s. You don't need a diff drop. Buy a flip kit and bumpstops.

Aight rookie, check this out ......

10x better coilovers, better leaf pack, better rear shocks and the best ball joint ucas on the market. Deduct 10% from that price for being a TW member.

I can continue if you like .....

Step away from the toy tech website.

 

Nice Build page!

 

Interview went well I think, should know something by the end of next week.

6112/5160s are always an option, I'm happy with mine.

 

Toytec is not a bad place to buy from. @mpkramer71 I'm telling you, these are a very good option for a feont lift that will save your budget for some really good uca's, rear lift, ubolt flip kit, shims, and brake lines.

Did you get your phone turned off?? I put mine on do not disturb for my interview on Friday. But people on your favorites list can still call through. I didn't return a text from a buddy back in WA just before I went in, so he tried calling right in the middle of the interview. I had the phone on silent so it only vibrated, but that was the loudest non-ringer call ever. I usually don't even notice calls on silent...

 

Thanks Gid, I am so pleased I have you to keep me on the strait and narrow road to Toyota righteousness.
