Kelson's Reg. Cab

no pics of em with wheels back on?

 

yup direct bolt in no modifications necessary. it was actually easier to install than the stock shocks or the old bilstiens I had before. and the truck is dirty as fk...plus you cant really see any difference. the back end is slightly lower than it was before tho. Much much stiffer than stock and super easy adjust-ability. Running them on 13 for now. Slightly more noticeable oversteer, but in a controlled manner,

Installed the Sittin Sic Stock Height Coils (950 ppi) yesterday. HUGE difference. The ride isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Turn in is MUCH MUCH better now, and these really help to limit body roll.

 

how is the bottoming out situation with the qa1 and no notch now?

 

The QA1's are amazing. Barely bottom out now at all, even on some pretty harsh potholes. Haven't really carried much though since the install, so can't say anything yet about that.

 

solid. was just asking cuz when i looked at the QA1s the site said that it didnt fit on our trucks. but i looked at the Sittin Sic coils too. now that i hear that from you, i might just pick up some. haha.

but i think i finally decided which route im gonna go with mines. your build had the biggest influence on my decision. haha. had da hardest time deciding between a lift or drop, and was leaning towards lift cuz where i stay now it snows bad. and plus fatbobs was cheaper. but i figure, after tires and everything else, going equal out about the same to drop em. hahah. plus, i plan on moving back to Big Island soon, maybe oahu, no can decide yet. haha. so dropping em would be better. plus with bigger tires i never like the thought of possibly having to regear. and then get the risk of pulling up to one solid truck back home and i end up looking stupid next to one cherray lifted 4x4. haha.

but had one more question bu, i get about one 2" diff from front height and rear height. if i was to flip the overload spring from unhappy to happy, how much would that drop me? probably pick up some BEEFED blocks while im at it. or maybe just some cheap pep boys blocks until next paycheck where i can buy the BEEFED blocks and LCA and UCAs at once. haha. i just wanna be level now. cuz its been bugging the shit out of me since i got it. haha.

 

aurai! i wouldn't suggest flipping your overload; just get blocks or new leafs. these 05+ leaf packs have an overload with a rivet on the reverse side and that slamming into your other leafs isn't the best for them.

not yet. gonna clean the frame n get some better pics of everything soon.

 

ohhh, rajah. thanks for the heads up. so I can run blocks with aftermarket shocks in the back with the stock leaf pack? for now atleast. til I can find new ones. and djm uca and lca and I should be good ah? maybe some SS coils to go with the control arms. Haha. idk yet. but like I said, you and ryanjboutin have the sickest slammed trucks imo. you guys are like my idols. hahahaha!! Nah, but ferreal kine...

 

yups you should be good. most people stay running just the stock leaf pack with blocks. & mahalos!

wet okoles. aurai. 1/2 piping, charcoal, with pockets in da back. now if i go beach and i forget one towel, im g.

 

hows the ride with the new bump stops?

 

those seats/covers look great in there

 

well when i do bottom out, it seems a little harder than before. the difference between the old and the new is pretty small, and i barley bottom out now thanks to the qa1s.

mahalo!

 

sick covers!

is the back of your cab still white or did you cover it?

 

is there more room behind the seats now or is it about the same considering that they are bucket seats and not the bench seat?

 

There's less actually because the seats sit lower than stock so I don't need to sit as close. And the passenger side is backed up all the way to the sub so there's legroom.

 

Thanks, it's still white back there. Planning on building a box that goes the whole way across buy I have other priorities right now lol.

 

my windshield wipers>than yours

SilBlade UniBlades. 22" on both sides

 

are thoose double blades? look like singles? dammm how often do you change your wipers? I havent even changed mine yet.

 

sub'd

 

mine are made with space shuttle technology
you probably have the icons or the other beam one. these are actually different design. (its a weird mix between the framed blades and the beam ones) it's the same style that some of the newer toyota's and honda's are running. JDM technology brah! lol

hurry up and install your coils! lmao.

 

Kelson, I've always wondered...


Why the whale?
