Leveling kit fabrication dimensions

I'm looking for a place where I can get dimensions to fabricate my own 2 inch leveling kit for a gen 1 Tacoma. Thanks.

 

I know this isn't going to help you fabricate your own 2" leveling kit. But, those things are so cheap you can probably buy one for less than you can make one for.

 

It's just I work in a machine shop, and was going to make my own in my spare time. Just can't find any prints on the parts. Thanks

 

I machined some aluminum spacers for my truck before I had my lift, but I have a 60lb skidplate and 120lb tube bumper. I made a model in CAD with the spacing for the upper shock mount holes and just overlaid it on a piece of aluminum stock, used a punch to mark the center/bolt holes and drilled them out. I can email you the template if you'd like. I think 0.800" was the magic number for me to level my truck out.

 

Never mind, I can upload PDFs here. Make sure you print it off 1:1 (ignore the specified scale on the drawing). I can get exact dimensions later if you'd like.

 

Ok. I'll give it a look. I was going to machine strut spacers out of 6160 aluminum, and rear blocks out of BDS, and put a dowel pin in for locating. I just can't find dimentions, or a set before it goes on. My truck is level now just wanting to lift it 2 inches for looks. Email is kmcdonald43907@yahoo.com. thanks for help.

 

No problem. Just remember that if you want a 2" lift, you'll want 1" tall spacers because of how the strut is located approx. halfway between the LBJ and the LCA pivot. Do you have any access to solidworks? I can send you the model I made as well.

 

We got solidworks but I don't get to access. I do manual job shop work. Can you dimension that print you sent? Any dimentions on rear blocks for that 2 inch lift?

 

I only did a set of front leveling spacers. I avoided the block lift idea because I wanted to avoid axle wrap when wheeling.

 

Ok thanks. Been most helpful

 

Got an idea. Can you send solid works print to thomas@caudells.com. I can get from him. Thanks

 

Would love the Solidworks model if someone doesn't mind sending it. brandonr39@hotmail.com

 

fabricate an AAL for the rear and avoid those blocks

fwiw I support the Physics Dept and they use SolidWorks, but alas I have no clue how to use it.

 

Sorry first gens only, nerd.

 

Could you please send the Solidworks model to my email address, it's loganblaine99@gmail.com. I'm looking to make a kit myself.

 

go tapered BL if you aren't changing anything else (i.e., just leveling) - why take the front IFS out if its mid-range of travel?

 

Benrpd, would you mind sending me the Solidworks model with the dimensions on it to my email address, it's loganblaine99@gmail.com. Thanks
