    I have seen some stupid shit. Just make sure with the spacers you get at least 7 full turns with the lugs to attach them to the truck. If not you may have to do what I did and bore the hole out a bit and get some ET lug nuts for them so you get enough thread engagement.

    another priceless tip. I think I would drill it. unless I'm local to a tire shop that has them on hand. probably best to do a test fit in advance of the welding day so I'm not stranded.

    I really need to get these spacers right for sure. this truck is wildly modified with hp goodies. my custom made camshafts are in production now. when installed I'll be over 400hp at the tires.

    @SaphiraTaco, huge thanks in the hammer hanger, springs, flip kit and axel swap!!
    Thanks to everyone here, Archive Garage is awesome! even with garbage shocks until my relocation goes in this truck rides WAY better.
    Glad Eric was so thorough with communication. I did need a 1" block to get this height. 20190811_145257.jpg 20190811_120743.jpg

    now I have 4:10 gears with a trutrac installed along with all the Archive goodies.
    I would have never done this axel swap without @crashnburn80 as he gave the info on that.
    I'm going to wait a few hundred miles before really getting on it. Thanks also to D&C extreme industries for the trutrac install.

    Glad to help. I really enjoy working on Tacoma’s
    I’m happy you can feel the difference with the hammer hangers. Definitely one of my favorite mods so far

    A lot of stuff, just ask and I'd be happy to tell you. Or we could wheeling/camping

    Just an observation and recommendation.....

    I don’t think that bump start is going to work very well with how long those U bolts are. Maybe it’s the angle, but it looks like you’ll slam into your bolts just as soon as u hit the bump.

    Also may need to adjust their height once you get the longer shocks on.

    Did you just regear or do a different axle entirely? nice to see other people in Wa with Eric's stuff!

    the axle is an 8.4 with stock 410 gears and I had a trutrac installed, and I removed the 8.0 e-locker. amazed it was only 250 to ship it from Colorado to Washington. I'm very happy with everything archive!

    Yeah, it’s nice a quiet, my roommate bought a house in Lynnwood close to thrashers corner and will be moving there soon. He says he’s gonna build a big shop but we will see...lol

    I'm near scriber lake in Lynnwood. let's meet up some time! the lighting master of this thread lives in Kirkland too man. he's an ace wrenching buddy of mine. join us sometime! or at least read his lighting thread. ultimate headlight mod and such.
