Because Baja!

You have any photos with the ToyTec AAL? that is the set up I'm probably going to go with to add with my baja fronts. Thanks!

 

Here ya go. Or did you mean how it sits now (rake vs squat vs pretty leveled)?

 

both, but mainly to see your rake/level

 

looks good. what size tires?

 

285's

 

So I have the wheelers progressive AAL. on the back of my truck. I cant stand the ride of it still so people are recommending that I go with the Dakars.

Im confused on the Dakars though. Do I just go with the main leaf pack, or do I get the single additional leaf as well for it? Will I need to get wedges for the spings? I currently get a vibration off the line when accelerating and at 20mph when slowing down. Ive been advised I should look at wedges and or a new carrier barring that lowers the bearing location?

 

Thanks!

 

Got my Dakars yesterday. Installed them today.

Front's measure about 22" center of hub to the bottom of the fender.
Rears were 21.5" before. 24" after spring swap.

If I have extra time tomorrow, I'll install the toytec 1" spacer up front.

 

Great looking truck! Curious how it rides with the front spacers? Also is that the OSO in the background?

 

It's redhead pond near/Off of laguna shores.

I did the 1" lift spacer yesterday. Love it.

Merry Christmas ya'll.

 

I'm going to leave this here...

I'm selling a brand new/never installed Toytec 1" spring seat spacer for the Baja/TRD Pro front coil overs.

 

Reposting here… I tried searching, but can't find any parts for the 9100 outside of some internal rebuilding parts like seals.

 

Does anyone know where to get replacement lower eye bushings for the front Bilstein 9100 shocks? I called Bilstein and they said "Nah, bro. That's an OEM part, contact Toyota. Also, it's probably bonded in and non-removable".

Whether or not it is bonded, if I can get replacement ones, I will pop out the old and replace them if possible.

 

Anyone?

 

I have a spare set of these struts, I’ll see if I can locate a part number beneath the layer of red dirt lol

I haven’t looked it up to verify lol

 

Finally ordered a pair. I'll hopefully get the old ones pressed out and replaced next month.

 

Looks good. Is that a SnugTop Canopy?

 

If I just want to improve ride quality and cargo ability, what set up should I go for. Context of me and my truck below.

15 TRD OR. Stock as hell.
Mostly highway driving and around town. No serious off-roading. The most I’ll do is something like Last Dollar Rd in Ouray. Usually go out west every year. The long trips are hauling 2 dirt bikes. Both bikes together are about 600lbs. Plus another 50 or so in gear/tools/luggage. I know I’ve put the stock “billies” through hell and I know for a fact the rear leafs are shite. I squat decent and truckers hate me at night on the interstate.

Would it be worth getting a Baja set up (6112/5160) or just stick with 5100s?

As far as leafs go, what has a good load rating but won’t lift the truck and keep the rake? If it does lift, how can I keep the stock rake and lift at the same time?

I apologize for the movie questions. Suspension setups have never been more strong point.
