VA-Looking For Some Help W/ Lift/Suspension Install

Large up to JBarbaresi for starting this thread, My68UR8 for hosting, Smanz for kickin down work, Colton for cooking and support, and Caduceus for work and support! Beers, food, work, wheelin, and pretty Taco's!!! Woohoo Yall's make mine seam REAL humble....

 

I had a great time, we will have to do it again

Since I noticed that funny front tire wear, I got too looking at it more today. That side is WAY out of alignment with nice negative camber

That must have been a harder hit on the beach than I thought

good thing its getting new tires and an alignment soon

Wow...that mud gets everywhere. Spent the day cleaning the outside, underbody, and under the hood. S100 works wonders in the engine bay! I got mud splatters all over the bottom of the hood, and all over the supercharger All shined up now! I'm pooped.

I won't be able to host pics until I get home from Chesapeake but I can upload to the forum. I'll do that this evening We got a lot more pics than I thought we did! Cool!

I thought the blue truck guy was Cadaceus? No? Lol...I dunno but he had Modelo...

 

nice pics fellas

 

here's the final product the day after the lift install. you can tell the front camber will need adjusting. overall i'm very pleased. the rear is still about 2" higher than the front, i wonder how much it will settle.

 

I'll host these when I get home so they're not such a PITA to go through. If any of you want a full size version of any of these, PM me your email and I'll send them to you!

 

Nah, Namyo is the guy in the blue truck that popped your off-road cherry. I'm the guy that brought those hot dogs and had the DC silver truck with the AAL and shocks only. Thanks for your help, BTW. They feel absolutely amazing! Stunning pics too, well done!

Jbarberi, when you're ready to trade your brand-new-looking-sweet-virgin truck for one with a little more seasoning and life-experience, lemme know. I'm sure we can work something out

 

Wow nice pics guys! Wish I could've gone it looks like you guys had some fun. Next mod day I'm there!

 

looks like fun guys, compressing springs is always a bitch w/o a shop sized compressor

 

@JBarbaresi your truck looks great that lift turned out real nice. Love the rims and tires too.
Would you like to trade your color matched rear bumper for my chrome one? LOL. It was worth a shot.

 

hey hey hey, just remembe the only reason you think i have a brand-new-looking-sweet-virgin truck is because i do! just hit the 1,000 mile mark on the way home

next time you guys are planning an off-roading trip make sure i get the memo.

 

theres a trip going to Shoecreek on Aug 28th... check the SE section, its close to lexington

 

BUWAHAHAHA!!! Glad U was snappin shots~ Ima peep what videos I got....probably not alot but I may have sumtin.

 

looks like you guys had fun

were you the only one to attempt that hill?

Justin

 

Yea...attempted 4 times to get er done....punished the gas pedal finally !

 

you are insane. i was impressed when i saw those pictures that smanz posted.

 

Yeah, that's why none of us did it! Though, from the top, it looked a bit easier. That being said, if I wasn't running stock Dunlops, I might have tried it (after seeing it up close)

 

i quick pointer for anyone doing one of these installs in the future... the center pin hole on the Toytec AAL (non tsb version) is not directly centered on the leaf. apparently the longer side is supposed to go towards the rear of the truck. we put mine on backwards which is why i think the rear is so high. i still think its retarded they didn't include any instructions to clarify that. i guess i need to figure out a way to redo the rear asap, as the toytec guys said i could damage the leaf pack with the aals in there wrong.

 

Holy shit, I need to be on here a bit more! I dont know how I missed this meet-up! I didn't do shit Saturday either!!! Someone better hit me up next time! Although I am not sure about Shoe Creek because I do not want to scratch my baby up any more than she already is!
