New England Mod & Meetup Renaissance group

So, I’ve got a big project for us if we are all interested in another mod day soon-ish. I also want to clear out my garage and this one thing is in my way…

 

The jack or the bumper?

 

The jack ain’t nearly big enough to be a problem. The lawn mower would be more in the way.

I mean, that’s exactly it, you guys have done this enough where it’s a science. Me? I’d fuck it up so bad…

 

Jack cutting off my suspension mounts… again mocked up without holes or shocks



more later, we’re still at it!

 

Is that the first time me seeing your truck with no cap?

 

Nah, had a ladder rack on until this morning

 

couple more huge thanks to @TacoTuesday603 !! Knocked this out of the park! Still some finishing touches we need to do and I’ll get it painted this week, I hope.
I have lots of droop, can’t wait to see how she does.

 

John has quite a unique setup which made the lower shock mounts little goofy. Bedcage with 63's SOA.

 

You missing a bed bolt?

 

Weight savings

 

Gotta say, right out of the box with no adjustments the Locked shocks performed very well.

yeah, had issues last time the bed was off. Getting new hex head bed bolts from belmetric this week.

 

This by far is one of the most unique and craziest setups I have ever seen. I'm hoping that drive shaft and brake lines also support the flex on this M.F'er. Great job to the both of you

 

This was as far as I was willing to go in the dark with no help. I know it can go more, the shackle says so

 

So here’s my rear situation. Truck is on the lift, full droop. I measured the gap between the shock boot and shock. I can’t pull the boot enough to secure it to the shock body.

 

I personally don't like boots, I think they hold moisture and dirt and end up causing more problems than they try to protect from

 

Gonna have to find longer boots. I know I’ve looked in the past and they’re pretty cheap but don’t want added corrosion issues.
Could try something like thesehttps://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai...-HP9JaPAxU8g4kEHTezEZcQwg8oAHoFCA0QjgI&adurl=
Double check the sizes tho

 

Thats.... hot

 

Here's the kit I bought: https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/s...th_Icon_or_OME_Leaf_Packs_-_Tacoma_05-15.html

 

Another vote for bootless, especially with the shockshaft going up I dont see them serving any purpose other than holding dirt and debris right on the sealhead.
