What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

A 2nd wont fit without re welding the shackles/hangers.
and The overload leaf (the upsidedown ones) just stop your leafs from continuing to arch negatively when you have weight in them, I think the ride would be terrible if you flipped it, I think helper springs are the best bet if you want to keep the same ride height but increase how much weight it can carry.. for the price anyway

 

Glad it helped!!

 

Ben, look into the 3 pack AAL. only adds 1-1.5'' and rides better then a regular single aal..supposedly.

 

Lol dude thats not gonna happen haha maybe with some custom Dakars or Alcans...But why they hell wouldn't you lift the rear a bit if you gonna lift the front..

 

Though you still wanted 2.5''?? like Mike..32'' tires..2.5'' of lift..

 

Lol Reality check?? haha

and fair enough.

 

all in good time my friend

and money..haha

 

Why an AAL? Cost?

I don't think you will find this combination in an AAL. At least not one readily available because those are driven by what most buyers want...lift.

I think you can have what you want, support for the canopy and camping gear, but it will be in a replacement leaf pack. I also think you do need a little bit of lift in the rear which you can also have. It seems I recall listening to you express worries in another thread about dragging your ass end.

Yes, you are able to clear your new tires with no lift, that does not mean that you don't need some lift in the rear. Especially after you lift the front a couple of inches.

 

installed my light bar built by snobord552, which you can buy in the 1st gen sale section.

 

Yeah I was on a 4 lane highway at 12:15 on cruise so the danger was minimal. I waited till i got home to upload it.

 

3" Lift!

 

You should never run your truck past the empty light. All the dirt and sediment in your fuel sinks to the bottom of your tank and when you run it too empty it can plug up your fuel filter or go into your engine and clog your injectors.

Looks good!!!

 

I made a decal.

 

Sweet decal man! Nice job!!!

 

I dont know about that. You have a fuel pickup at the bottom of your tank so wouldnt you suck it up anyway?

 

True. But the heavier sediments will always remain at the bottom. And yes it is hard on the fuel pump too. Either way, its good practice to prevent running your tank that empty.

 

The fuel pick up is part of the fuel pump which sits a couple inches from the bottom.

 

just finished installing all new bushing in the front end. oem on lowers w/ new ecentrics and poly bushings on the uppers. BTW dont ever put poly bushings in just a word to the wise... Royal PITA
