1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I got extra's, just saying

They're OEM though

 

yeah you have to be in a good frame of mind to watch that movie, probably one of the worst films to watch if you've recently been through a long term relationship break up lol. Which of course I put myself through more than once. Haven't seen it in probably 5 or 6 years though

 

Cheap for triple locked.

I’d just tell autozone you don’t want them

 

Gotta be the SPC kind cause they're the adjustable ones, that's the only downside to the SPC arms...with the JBAs you have more options if one fails

 

I dont jump it yet so i dont need LT. Still have a lift kit for the front sitting around needing to be installed. Small steps my brotha

 

Harbor Freight new coupon

 

If only my winch was 10 bucks

 

You can save $3 on a shackle

 

My thought exactly !

 

Seems like a pretty useless coupon haha

 

Well its time to start collecting parts to build the rear of the truck. I want to keep the truck leaf spring, and want to retain as much of the bed as possible. The truck is used to haul a dirt bike and go camping. Keeping that in mind what have people done to gain more travel and a better ride in the rear? I currently have Icon piggyback shocks, and deaver j56 leafs...and my back can't take any more abuse lol. Photos or links to someones build would be greatly appreciated.

 

Custom leaf pack

Shock relocation

And of course, we'll deviate from your question in 3...2...1...

 

I vote a new SUA leaf pack and all that's involves in that, might as well get a wider axle and some shocks mounted out side the frame with the Archive or TC kit.

You could also look at the Cheby 63 swap.

I'll always recommend chevy 63 for the rear. So soft and flexy, just more work than most are up for.

 

Ill get some cut wheels.

 

Did you do them on the red truck

 

I kinda wish I would went 63’s with my truck, guess I still could.

But like you said, I don’t wanna do the work.


And I already have alcans to swap over sooo

 

The hard work was already done but I swapped out the old springs for newer ones. I really liked them.

 

I saw the TC kit and was thinking about this. Haven't seen anyone actually running it and don't want to cry more than once in building the rear like i did the front lol. As for getting a wider rear axle i was hoping to keep the stock one and run a small spacer...but if the tundra swap is really worth the modifications, would the TC kit still be the best rout to maximize travel and packaging?
