Wrecked Tacoma update

I posted the wrecked Tacoma a few weeks ago. The truck has a hell of a rake to it. I put the rago fabrication rear shackles and OME leaf springs in the rear. Seems a lot higher than before. I measured the frame and it’s within specs.

 

Its up there...

 

Here’s the other side. Putting bumper on right now.

 

How does it drive? Same?

 

I honestly haven’t driven it yet. Still at the body shop. Was going to get it aligned first. Not sure how I can get the rear end down a bit.

 

They'll settle. I have the OME Dakars and same thing. Granted I threw a 200lb bumper on but they've flexed in nicely.

 

Honestly I considered getting a bumper. Damn blind spot monitors and sensors limit my rear bumper market.

 

Put a couple of fat chicks in the bed of the truck to help it settle. You're in South Carolina, they should be easy to find.

 

So that's how y'all achieve the Carolina squat?? TIL.

 

At this point I’m the opposite of that. Hate squatted trucks around here.

 

We used to call the squat the Aynor shuffle.
In the 80's guys from Aynor, SC started taking a leaf spring out of the rear. They would also load the back of the bed with (loose) tractor weights. It was mostly 2wd square body GM products. Proudly cruising the boulevard at Myrtle Beach.
Then it spread to Conway, SC...
Just another thing to make you proud to be from SC.

 

Sorry double post

 

Is there some South Carolina Texas feud I don’t know about? It’s the bbq isn’t it?

 

That’s a good picture of the vents on the back of the cab. Guess they do exist …

 

Let me know if you want my tub of shit brother in laws phone number. He'll settle those springs in no time.

 

Definitely bbq and pulled pork feuds, yup.

 

. I used to live in conway. They called it the aynor squat. We live up in Greenville sc now. Squatted trucks are less common here.
