Any Lifted Taco's that Tow out there?

Dude, what leaf pack is that? Do you have enough lights to drive at night?

Nice pic's, thanks!

 

So it's all-pro 3" leafs with Bilstein shocks?

sorry to keep asking, when I looked at the kits for All-pro, the mention two Shock companies I am not familiar with.

 

Wow MJP2, I just got to looking at your Photo's... you have done a ton to your truck, nice work. Ok, I think I am leaning towards OME 885's and their shocks for the front, and All-Pro's rear kit.. BUT the million dollar question, it's not recommended for load.. are there any 3" Rear lifts that are?

Timbren's is an airbag.. right? That link just takes me to the Customer service phone number for 2wd..

Damn, I hate it when your right from the beginning...

 

SWEET! perfect.. about 200 a pair? expensive rubber. I guess it has spacers in the kit? hard to know what to expect with all these different lifts out there.

Thanks for the Plan!

PS- why did you go to disc in the rear?

 

All those questions still are on my side. LIFT + TOWING. I found a lot of answers in this thread, believe me I'm still asking a lot of more questions since on these answers they are PROS and CONS (not defined by me -I lack of any lift experience in the past) for each opinion. First I have an 08' DC 4x4 with tow package, but It sags a lot (More than 2 inches) and I like to avoid that, What will be my best shot to eliminate this?

A Stronger leaf pack (it might lift the rear) or
A stronger rear suspension, leaf pack + shocks.

But I will like to have a leveled truck when not towing (front lift) and I'm planning to get an ARB bumper on the near future (with lights -no winch-).


How can I start (best start) and avoid any changes ($$$) in the future.

PS: I'm currently with no TSB (it is an '08), but fighting for it.

Thanks,
Regards.

 

RV is about 3,000 pounds (dry), Does yours has an AAL or AIR BAGS or TSB?

I don't think that is a fair comparison though.. is a Boat going to have as much tongue weight as a Loaded Camper? Not too mention all the toys in the bed of the truck..

Mvega, a Texas Camper.. is that Ink's lake? Get the TSB (for now)done (if at all possible), it will help your truck a lot in it's current configuration. I imagine you can't load the front of your Camper (Nice by the way) with very much stuff because of the rear Sag on the truck...

You are totally right, I have to carefully select what I can take prior to any trip and avoid further damage to the rear suspension (if any), being a TRD off road 4x4 LB I almost sure that the TSB for me will include only the extra leaf for the current pack on both sides and probably other small required changes.

It is Ink's Lake indeed, we went on this past June and enjoyed a 3 night stay this was the "break-in" for our Evolution 3, we just got back from Bastrop State Park it is also a beauty, thanks for your compliments.

Timbrens... I am thinking, even if you get the TSB, if you put a ATV or a heavy load in the front of your camper, you will still have "Sag" issues. I have not seen them used, but some have said this cures the sag problems for lifted trucks that tow. My Question is, if your load is being supported by springs AND these "Timbrens" does the ride quality just go out the window? I have a great ride while towing with my TSB suspension.. probably only 400 lb tongue weight, and 300lb or so in the bed with the Dog (no, the dog is not 300lb.. ).. If the back is riding on the Timbrens, is it like riding on the bumper stops? Does it shake the Teeth out of your head?

Did Ink's for the first time a couple of weekends ago.. I had a great time, but the wife said she wasn't impressed. Loved Devil's Waterhole..

Thanks for your suspension info, I will start to look that possibility. Yes I saw pictures from that Ink's visit of yours, it is impressive to see how many places you have gotten in and for so many years now, I just started and I'm on my way to create a lot of memories from these trips, next: Falcon State Park and Choke Canyon, next year we will start with Cedar Hill (near Dallas) and hopefully the Woodlands before the end of May, first God of course.

Regards.

 

Ok, this is what I am looking for..

judging from the picture.. he has Stock Bilsteins? is this a 3" lift? does it look lifted to you?
