The 95-97 Taco Thread

You don't really gain that much from a 6" lift like a fab tech drop bracket because its not really a true 6" suspension lift. The front diff and cv angles stays the same. Nice for your cvs but even if you put 35s on which is all they really let you clear some one with 33s and a true 3" lift with have more front diff clearance.

It's better to just go 3" and then do some cutting and welding on the truck body to fit 35s.

But hey if you want to do soething different that to me sounds like way to much work for something not worth it. Not to mention I wouldn't want to mess with a shocks body amd structure. Go for it

 

Like I mentioned, I have been custom modding trucks for longer than you have been alive. The only way new things get made is people think up stuff, then trial and error. I will take your information into account though for when I start measuring. to you it may seem like too much work, but to me it just means having fun building and seeing where it takes me. I've been building custom off-road trucks for years.

 

Though you ranger haters might like this



97 showing up a ranger lol

 

Go for it man.

 

Il but it off you for 400 jk lol nice find!

 

Gonna sell my hella 500 hid's, spread the word haha hey austin you should build me a bedcage for my rear that needs to be midtraveled i dont know how to make shit like that

 

Why would you sell the lights?? They are pretty important for going through whoops. I'd figure you'd be getting some more now haha

 

Why are you selling them? Also, are you talking about me?
Edit: Id love to have those HID bulbs in my lights I sent you a PM

 

Yeah I will be getting some better lights, probably leds though when I can afford a nice bar

Yeah im talking about you

 

If I had a bender I would say drive your ass up here, but I dont I wish

 

Thats what I do everytime I think about trail armor

 

well how much are you looking to spend, and how big and far back do you want it? And i could make one but it would be a bitch to ship put together

youre my idol

 

Yeah thatd be more than the cage itself to ship it haha! I just want something functional not all fancy and shit haha

 

well send me a picture of what you are looking for and i will see what i can do

 

Something like this, not anything crazy just functional to mount longer shocks on

 

so the shocks will come straight up? how much taller from the bed?

I'll start creating one on my cad program and see what i can do

 

honestly im not sure how far it needs to be from the bed, but lets say about 6" i guess? and let me see whatcha can do!

 

I think you need to wait until you have the shocks before you make the bed cage. Because otherwise its just a crap shoot guessing on the lengths.

Also, im going to have an update by tonight

 

I would also wait IMO, but if you just cant wait i could make one that is adjustable lol
