Weird - my 10" kings are 18" 600 and 4" 500's

 

I'm just going off what JD fab recommends for their kit.

 

I've seen different spring setups for sure. Do you need spring seats - I have extras but they're flat king ones.

 

I do know theres a different spring rate for 4 and 6 cylinder.

They came with sliders n coil seats. Thank you tho

 

Whats the difference in the wms? Thats the reason I was going for the tundra.

 

This is what was shared with me

Pick 1980 and either E150 or F150 and it will cross reference different years and models. E150 is 69" and Bronco/F150 are 65" for 9" housings if you want to do a salvage one and truss it yourself.

It's less than an inch wider per side.

 

But if you go second gen tundra it's about 2" wider per side

 

Thats why I liked it because right now im running spacers so it eliminates the need for them. But I’ve Been talking with the shop about options and compatibility so well see.

 

Yeah - my bad I was referring to the first gen

 

I’ve got a second gen housing with arb locker and 4.88’s $1200 all the factory mounts have been stripped off it

 

I wanted to go that route but from what im told tundra abs is not compatible with the tacoma and thats a deal breaker for me... thanks anyway. so now I might just get a new 8” housing and throw a truss on it. Don’t know yet.

 

I’m talking about a second gen Tacoma housing

 

That's the deal of the decade - I wish I had 4.88's up front lol

 

Oh yea idk if I wanna go with 4.88s, I was told that they have smaller teeth so I should stick with 4.56s. So im probably going to keep an eye out for a housing. Thanks though.

 

How much do you want for the third member? Shipping probably kills sending the whole thing cross country.

 

First gen guys: any of you blow up steering rack mounts? rack, inner outer tie rods are ok, just the passenger side mount is peeling off the subframe/crossmember. shouldbe easy to fix and I don't really want it reinforced to preserve the rack in the future. Front Locker + axle breakage was involved.

OEM rack and tie rods w/50k or less. 1G LT tundra, but it's pretty similar to a 1G taco

 

$950 plus shipping costs

 

Oh nice he called me asking for spring rates for you.

 

I needed this info thanks. Couldn't remember the "cheap" 9'' housings.

On a second gen a 1st gen tundra axle is about 1'' per side. Its almost 3'' per side on a 1st gen taco.

Yes.

I think @jberry813 had @JLee make him a super beefy new mount. Not sure if he would make one again or not, Id contact him directly. I've wanted to do that for a while.
