Intro to fitting 35s (< 3" Lifts for those that wheel and love alignments)

Toy Crawlers in CO gave me an estimate for $380 for a CMC/hammering. Is that too much? I don't want to do it myself so I am willing to pay premium, but it seems high based on prices in here.

Also this is probably a dumb question but I have a 2" Toytec boss suspension lift and SPC light racing UCA's (and Deaver AAL's). Do I need to upgrade suspension to a 3" lift/if so any recommendations? I don't wheel very hard but I do some light offroading- should I just pony up and get spindle gussets?

TIA!

 

Thanks Mike!

sent ya a pm

 

That’s a bit high. As far as guessets, it will depend on how hard you wheel. 35s can bend spindles so it’s up to you.

 

Anyone going rclt kit from marlin crawler when it comes out?

 

You really think it's coming out? That thing will be in "pre-production" for the next 10 years. Ever wonder why the majority of their stuff is pre-mid90s?

 

Lol they “say” end of February or march. Pushing the whole knuckle forward 2inches and the ability to run 37’s with out any body mount modifications are very tempting, it sounds awesome so i hope they release it soon. Plus a whole new steering rack thats able to turn 40’s no problem, winer winner

 

At that cost it would be cheaper and more effective to just SAS.

They "released" the tacobox but everyone I know personally who ordered it fell into the same email reply, "Waiting on parts." Half a year later they all cancelled.

their front bumper, which is just tubing, never released after a year.

 

What you think price of kit is going to be? Id figure bout the price of traditional Lt kit plus the rcv axles you need for it and then the Lt shocks which they are a radflo supplier

 

This is the response I got yesterday.

 

@JoeCOVA Hows that axle project coming along?

 

10g’s is steep, plus a set of 37’s woah buddy deep pocketssss

 

Wow!

Makes sense, if we piecemeal quote it

$3800 for a traditional LT kit
$800 for spindles and gussets

They are adding a premium to all of the extra stuff they did

 

"run" 37s

 

A heck of a lot cheaper than the $10k price tag for that kit.

 

Wheel. Big mikes tacoma on 40’s is sickk. # slowest tacoma

 

I’d rather buy a shitbox wheeler for that kind of cash.

 

Lol i hear ya brother

 

As long as you don't care about up travel you can run bigger than that. You have to gimp up travel to run anything large than 35s if you don't tub. Pushing the wheel forward 2inches doesn't magically make the front of the wheel well larger, which even 35s contact

 

What if i have a 10 inch lift though

 

Then you aren't offroading and no one gives a crap about your mall crawler.
