What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Depends on what you are going to have on the front. Plate bumper, winch and so on

 

I have a TG front bumper and winch. Full set of skids

 

Come to Willow Pass sometime!

 

Fucking Hondas.... Honda lost control down PCH and I didn't have much distance to completely miss his car. Oh hit and run too btw

 

That's fucking sucks man. But that Honda probably has more damage then you

 

I don't think king makes a 2.0 shock..you sure they are 2.5s?

And yeah. Mike is running 700s.

 

Welp, I guess it forces me to fix it, so might look into carbon fiber fenders or something to make the body look less stock.

 

I think your right. 2.5s.

What im trying to achieve is the front to be leveled with the rear. I have alot of rake and like i said, about 1.5 inches of preload. It rides good, i just dant want to crank these up anymore.

If the spring is stiffer but the same length, how will that git rid of my issue? Honest question..lol

 

It won't take as much preload to give you more lift because it'll hold more weight.

You do chance a rougher ride. But if you end up with less preload than you likely won't have a rougher ride.

Especially with all that front end weight.

But you also may want to ask yourself...can the truck even go up another 1.5"? Too much lift up front is not a good thing

 

I don’t think my spindle should be that close to my tire. I just noticed this. My finger doesn’t even fit in between

 

Pic for reference

 

if it doesn't touch at full droop/stuff you are okay. my rear shocks touch at full stuff so i ended up putting a pair of 3/4" bora spacers on and boom done.

 

I totally forgot about that. Then i start having cv issues

 

And a worse ride due to the geometry.

What's wrong with a little rake anyways

 

Eh. I guess your right

 

Going to swap my all pro standard leafs for all pro expo leafs today. Pretty excited but I am nursing the hangover from last night a little bit longer before I get started.

 

We shoulda traded leafs dude. Your not that far either. I never carry any weight in the back except when traveling to camp. Maybe that would help with my rake

 

Tequila with a Gatorade chaser should set you up nicely. That or maybe just the Gatorade

 

Or one of these. Michelada

 

I posted something a few months back seeing if anyone was interested. I ended swapping them through warrenty tho so I didn’t have to pay extra. With the camper shell, the bed platform and camping gear my back drops around 2/3 inches easy with the standards.
