Oregon and Washington BS thread

I think those would be a perfect fit for you. With how impossible it is to get a quote on gears and a locker I'm considering it too. Everyone only has good things to say about the trutrac

 

It sounds like Nitro is working on a 3rd member exchange program like ecgs does.

 

Copied from my OP commented in the CL thread by mistake:

 

Doubt I will ever do anything with it, but I still have all my take off parts sitting on a bottom shelf in my garage. I would not bother swapping out for warranty concerns. I modified the suspension and gearing. I accept that any issues caused by this are my problem, not Toyotas. I have them more so if I ever sell the truck or swap the truck for something else I can take what I have off and put it back to stock and they are not in the way at all in the garage.

 

Can confirm, my girlfriend would rather drive my rig with the Kenda Rts, than her rig with Duratracs on the wet roads. Doubted I have a decent amount of weight in the bed and the rear end is pretty softly valved

 

Give me the blower, problem solved

 

I'm think I'll deal with it

 

Anyone have access too a wall mounted spring compressor upgrading from 650lb too 700lb springs in the OLY area?

 

I have a set of these, they aren't nearly as sketchy as most spring compressors, but not as easy as a commercial one, but work fine

Orion Motor Tech Strut Spring Compressor, 11" Universal Coil Spring Compressor, 2 Heavy Duty Rods with Safety Bracket Spring Compressor Tool Automotive for Car Truck ATV UTV, 2200 lb Capacity, Black

These work great. @Bertw192 has a set I have used a few times now.

 

Mine are the knockoff of the SPC, only difference is the lack of rubber on the feet. Solid though, not scared using them

 

Was getting quoted $150-200 too compress the springs if i bring the coil overs in so will probably pick these up if ya'll recommend them. Is it possible too compress the spring while coil over is still on truck with these?

 

Maybe.....haven't tried to squeeze them in there

 

Yes, but barely. If just trying to adjust preload they'll work, but you don't need them for that. Make sure the Allen is facing out

 

They'll fit the coilovers while on the truck but not perfectly. Helps to disconnect the UCA while you do it. I can't adjust the preload without compressing the springs a bit. PB Blaster on the preload rings and a 2' bar to leverage on the tool helped.

 

I'll order this, never hurts adding another tool to the arsenal. Thanks for the recommendations and advice everyone!

 

Holy crap. Im able to adjust the Preload on my Tacoma's Kings with an 8" long spanner wrench no cheater bar no spring compressor.

 

My ADS is pretty easy with just a pin punch

 

you are adjusting them with the wheels off the ground right? The pinch bolt loosened?

 

Thats how ai do and mine are cake it was @Fletcher37 who seems to be having to do far more work to adjust than anyone else experiences.

My tool of choice is actually a screwdriver i cut end off of that is perfect diameter. Never could make the Spanner i got at same time as the shocks fit right in coil bucket
