MARYLAND TACOMAS

Ok sounds good

 

Looking sharp.

 

Looks good.

 

That's way cool. How much lift do they provide?

 

What was included in the kit and how much lift did you get Jerry?

And recent pics looking at the truck from the side?

 

@RobP62 don't know , just the standard OR shocks and struts. In a box waiting to go on.

PS, still need to try and meet. I start back in the working world again tomorrow .

 

Well, an upgrade is an upgrade

I want a balance of as much lift as I can afford, proper off road capabilities, and still retain the ability to use it like a truck when I need to.

Since I'll never get into desert racing, or rock crawling I just want something to handle moderate obstacles. As time goes by, maybe I'll progress into an overland type rig. But that's a long way off.

That's great about work. Sorry RK&K didn't pan out. I did my best. Like I said though, I have no real pull.

LOL, we'll meet up one of these days. I just need to make some free time somehow. Our lives our so freaking hectic right now. I brought work home and the wife is still sitting at her laptop working. At least we can do it here instead of running into the city. That would definitely suck.

 

Just got home from AOAA and had a blast ,I got some video I will go through and upload over the next day or 2.

 

It was a lot of fun. Thanks @greengen1 for helping me to realize that my diff locker actually works!!

 

The kit resulted in roughly a 2.5" lift up front and 1.75" lift in the rear.

 

Looks great Tyler!

 

Thanks Jerry!

Well, for $643. that's the perfect amount of lift! Any more and then you'd be into UCA territory from what I've been taught on here.

Your truck looks great. Thanks for posting up the invoice, I'll shoot Marie an email and tell her this is exactly what I want.

I like that bedside decal too!

 

I didn't realize it was you guys at first when we hopped on the highway. Talk about good timing.

Then you guys were driving too slow and I was running late so I sped off How was it for you guys? It was freaking slick out there today.

 

@Montauk17 Jerry,
I just did a search and turned this up

Looks like if you don't do the strut assembly then the price is what you paid. Add $90 for the strut assembly. Seems like assembly is worth it??? Time is money and unless you have a spring compressor seems like this would save a ton of time.

Hmmmmmmm

 

Jerry and I used a compressorless method to assemble the coilovers. It’s very safe and easy, and since you have a new truck, we can reuse your stock shock hardware. Save yourself the $90

 

Well I was gonna type something similar, but you're faster.

 

Goddamn right I am Tyler. I live for this shit.

 

Well shit then. If you guys say so. That's just more BLO in the cooler

Hey what do you think about these Randy? And what about the ECGS bushing? That's a definite, no?

 

The trails were a blast and it was definitely slick during the rain .The fact the we were actually staying at or slightly above the speed limit in our 20 year old trucks trying not to break anything before we got there was to slow for you lol..83north is a piece of shit road needs to be re paved badly
