    That might be your rebound stacked with some 10's and 12's mixed in. Or maybe you have a 12stack for comp and 10/reboynd. Where did it say this? For a light rear end that might do ok but every truck is different. How did in handle in the whoops?

    I would keep the valving in them, charged them to whatever specified. And after a test run see what needs to be changed, its 12 Compression and 10 rebound, sounds not bad.

    Hello, usually hang out in the mid travel section and am seriously considering lt for the rear. Figure it will run $5,000+ and if I spend that I want to do it right the first time. Tim from DMZ did my front and gusseted a few of the weak links already. That being said I know his work is insane but want to consider other options. I know a few people run engage LT rears and have been looking for a few photos of the bed saver cage. Anyone know what page I can find a few pics?

    dude for the second time....pay attention...we have a company in ventura that carries everything you could possibly need. shock oils, seal kits, heims, uniballs, seats, ect...he supplies most of the fab shops around here as well as swift motorsports. give him a call and tell him i sent you. the website just got going so its not fully updated yet but honestly anything you need he has or can get very fast.

    Thanks, can't search on my phone but I have seen Aaron's cage. Really trying to see how the shackles tie into the frame after seeing a photo of one ripped off. Thanks for the reply.

    Just looking at all the options, some of the trucks I have seen at recent races engage has built get beat on much harder than I plan on running my truck. Reason for the budget restrictions is if funds were not a issue I'd probably have a different truck. Not talking shit i really like the tacoma i just miss having a V8 sometimes and dont like the tundra.

    For those who recomend other shops who would you recomend in southern California? In no way am I set on one shop or the other, just trying to do it once and be done (well your never done) as much as I love Tim's welding and fab skills I am open to other options.
    Thanks!

    Hey Adam would you be opposed to fabbing up some shackles to use in my engage hangers?

    just dont use your truck on the freeway or in washes
    theres a thread somewhere on here but they use stronger stuff on their race trucks... like way stronger... also


    if budget is a major issues then LT is NOT for you
