Andrew H - My Build

You'll like the 1.5 AAL. With the TSB and the Toytec shim it sets up real nice. I may move to some 884 or something different in the front myself at some point. The eibach/billy @ .85 is good, but I want something a little higher. I'll probably get UCA's first, then mess with the suspension all around, again...

 

Yeah I'd like to get some TC UCAs in the future but I wanted the 884s because I've been told by people that it gives you about 2" up front with the 5100s set to 0". I am at 1.75" right now up front with the 5100s but I'd like it just a little bit higher and I want the rear 1.5" AAL to maintain some sort of rake.

Figure If I can get up to 2" or so up front and the AAL in the back I can hold off on getting the UCAs and still have a set-up that rides nice and smooth.

 

Hmmm.

I don't know whether to get Toytecs 1.5" AAL or Wheelers 2" AAL. Both cost about the same and both will work with the rear spring TSB and I supposedly won't need longer U-bolts or anything.

Opinions/Advice?

 

I had the wheelers 3 leaf add-a-leaf. I was really happy with it. It does require longer u-bolts

 

Think I'll go with the 1.5"... Just gotta decide what company I wanna throw money at.

 

LEATHER SEATS!!!

 

Andrew H,

Nice truck. Just got a 2011 DC 4x4 and want to do a lot of the same mods that you have, but I have a few questions:

Are the rems 16".

What did the new exhaust do to your MPG. Can you tell an increase in power.

You said you had Katzkin leather seats, but I couldn't find Taco seats on their website. How did you get them?

Thanks

 

Very nice truck!!!!
How did you handle the TPMS with your wheel?

 

Let the guys at Discount Tire handle it. Fit no problem.

 

Love the truck/build!! Very clean looking truck

 

John Huey from Affordable Leather took some suhweeeeeeet pics of the Katzkins he installed!!!

 

I like the black speaker cover and arm rest, it definitely adds some life to a plain grey door.

But yea if youre in Tucson I need to meet up with you so i can see how your truck sits with my own eyes, im really struggling with what lift i wanna invest in.

 

Hey man, really good looking truck, I have the same exact one and your truck is making my truck super envious...

Good call on getting rid of the chrome, looks way better IMO.

 

hey man whenever you want just hit me up and ill give you my number to meet up. i peeled the plastidip off my window regulators. going to spray it with some real paint so its more permanent. the plastidip was just a way for me to see if i liked the look of it.

thanks dude. hit me up if you got any questions or anything.

 

Nice looking truck man! We pretty much have the same lift and tires but somehow yours looks way more badass with those wheels!

Are you going to get a leather center console armrest or just stick with the stock lid?

 

I have one waiting for me at John Hueys house (affordable leather and sound) but I just haven't had the time to go get it. He is the one that is hooking people up on the Katzkin leather seat group-buy.

 

Hey man, if you're not busy this Thursday, Friday or Saturday I'd like to meet up one of those days so we can show off our Tacos and so I can see what your lift looks like. Ill send you a PM with my number

 

Got me a little project to do when I'm back on shift this Friday.

Finally got off my ass and order and picked up the parts for the rear diff breather this week.

 

how do you like your super 44 flowmaster? i am considering putting that muffler in to replace the stock muffler. what do you think?

 

i like it. remember that what you hear in the cab isnt what others hear when you're driving by. you get a good sound of what they hear when you slide open your rear windshield and leaving your side windows closed. nice grumble to it. no change it mpg and no noticeable change in power/response.

i also dumped mine after the axle.
