Idaho BS thread in the PNW

I was crawling around under my taco playing with some wiring and I don't know why i have never really checked this before but my drivers side leaf is actually negatively arched while sitting on level ground.

 

Huh..well thats no good.

Did you just have the AAL before?

 

I bought it with the tsb and aal already in. I haven't done anything to the rear.

 

hmmm..

well..you wanted new suspension anyways haha

 

Yep. That would definitely confirm that my taco lean is coming from my leafs. haha

Now to decide what leaf pack to get. I am leaning towards the dakars I think, maybe the standard all-pro's. I think the SUA kit is out cuz of price.

 

DCSB V6 is what OME used for their measurements the 885x weren't meant to be on a Reg cab I4

 

Can you weld? Get you some junkyard 6" lift Chevy springs And fry together your own stuff. It could be done in a weekend easy, and pull 16" no problemo.

 

I wouldn't get standard allpros. Expos seem the way to go from them. No weight capacity from the standards like at all.

I still may end up trying this out at one point..

 

Yea the Dakars are good too IMO. Get the AAL tho.

 

CHRIS!!

Hey man! Hows things goin??

 

I wish I could. The fiance's Dad is a really good welder but being a farmer he is far too busy this time of year. May look into that though.
Hold on a sec though, 6" lift? That would give me one hell of a rake. I have 3 on the front and am leaning towards about 3 in the rear to sit level.

Part of why I am leaning towards the dakars is because the expos are supposed to sit at like 4" without weight and I don't think I would be heavy even to offset that.

What's up Chrisco? haha

 

You use Chevy 63 packs is what i think he ment. Haft ton or bigger. You just have to really grind down the leafs to size..you don't have to weld acutally. Then just put in 1 or 2 leafs and you get about 3'' of lift i think.

Talk to Doug about as he does it ALL the time. User name 4WD.

and really i don't think they are that bad on the 2nd gens. Plus just think, rear bumper + camping gear + recovery gear and spare tire..thats anywhere from 200-400lbs easy.

But yes the Dakars are a good choice as well!

 

sorry to hear that man.

You'll pull through tho! it'll be over soon enough and you can come play with us in the woods and trails

You have some Dakars for Brady?? eh? and nice on the sliders! They are beef huh! I was shocked when i got mine lol

 

You run the full leaf pack sua, wich nets 3" of lift out of a 6" spring. Shoot I have a deaver 6" lift 10 leaf pack in my 2500HD that isn't a whole lot different than the F67's I was running on the taco.

 

Ya i think im going to try it at some point for shits and giggles with my stock packs.

 

I have an angle grinder

A month now huh? That will be fun. Too bad it's not in Pocatello. I could sneak you in some of your monkey

I see some dakars Going with the full OME lift?

I see, so you were referring to making my own SUA kit?

 

ya im sure this whole ordeal has been taxing and tedious.

And a month! do you have a truck now!!

i love the sliders..beef as shit man.

 

Fedex says I will have them tomorrow

and honestly that is very tempting... If you lived closer those would be cake to swap and at least see how the look. I am a little nervous that they might give me some killer rake. Although I do kind of have a bro lean right now.

 

If he had one already I imagine that the leafs would already be on it. I think he means he has at least a month before he can do anything.

 

I'm sure that is how he would say it. haha and sweet I have a weekend project I think

When do you leave for Boise?
