New England B.S. Thread

Just wondering what setups you use on your trucks on New England terrain. I am going with long travel from All Pro in front for sure, in the rear either All Pro with their Expedition springs or the SUA set up from Defined Engineering. I am considering installing Defined's shackle mount cross member and bedside supports so I can clear big meats and will go fiberglass in front for the same reason. I know there's a lot of other work to consider doing, but its a start.

 

Jesus haha. Dont take this the wrong way but in my opinion i think thats a little overboard for new england terrain. I doubt you will be able to use that suspension to its full potential around here (unless you find some sand dunes) All pro makes a 4x4 long travel kit? I think you should just go with a real nice midtravel setup and front, and spend the money you save on armor.

 

I would go with all-pro leafs instead of SUA, SUA is awesome but now you have things to get hung up on under the axle. My ideal setup for the rear would be the all-pro standard leafs, shackle flip kit, bamf shock relocate brackets, some 12" stroke shocks and u-bolt flip kit.

 

Nice!

 

That's alittle over kill for New England . Unless you own a shit load of property and want go fast. Most of the trails around here are slow moving , technical trails. But in the end if you want to spend that kind of cash go for it . I'd go sas over long travel . Good luck and post some pics when you start working on it .

My setup ..
Icon extended travel coilovers
Total chaos uca
Dakars leaf pack
Icon 2.0 rear shocks
Toytec ubolt flip .

 

It's your truck so do what you want but in my opinion Evan is correct. The suspension set-up you mentioned sounds great but is more for high speed stuff. The trails we have here are rocky and narrow, much more of the slow speed variety so unless you plan on traveling out west with your truck I think his advise is very good. It will also be much cheaper. Just my opinion, do whatever you want, it's your truck.

Nice truck by the way.

 

I was running an Elev for a sheetrock company so they could get the hoistway done. I stayed in the city and slept in my office

 

It is a 2012 SR5 with the third row

 

Damn... You'll really be ready for the family mod then, huh?

 

Closest I will ever get to that mod is when I get more cats.

 

Best color you could get too, Eric!

 

Looks like I'm going to stock 5 spoke 16's and Miguel getting these tires and wheels back. I love the look of those wheels with a skinny tire

 

Salsa Red Pearl 4runners FTW!

Anyone get the harbor freight book coupons. I'm looking for a 20 percent off coupon. I can get a online one but not for store. I wanna buy a 3,000 lbs winch for my ATv
