Lowered B.S. Thread

I have some of those bolts long enough to get a 1" spacer if you want them. lemme know. I also know a spot where to get the bolts, they aren't cheap though I'm affraid (I think I got the 80/90mm, this is the ones I have on right now because I added more with the 1" spacers, there was up to 100mm - think they were all the same price though no matter what length).

 

my birthday is coming up in april bro, just saying just egt rid of those rims and give em to me. ill haul away for free even! lol they look good brah and i havnt seen anyone else with em yet #Jealous

 

his user name is phil dammit or somthing like that cant remembeer the exact spelling

 

i have a fastenal in my town they specialize in fasteners so its they dont have something ill have to find another way btw your truck with those wheels are so sexy trade ya my 20s lol

 

make sure they will sell you 4. I went to the one that as closest to me and they said they only do bulk type sales (you HAVE to buy a bag, they will NOT open one up and take out 4 for you).

 

hahah i see i see and then ill just cry in the corner saying what have i done

thanks brah i can't run em yet till i fix one tire but yeah i haven't seen any taco yet with em i seen one with vossens not dropped but i can't afford vossens
My drop kit is being shipped as we speak should be here on monday plus I'm off for spring break so looks like a happy week next week

 

I looked up on there site they sell the size you need in different grades the OEM bolt is a 10.9 which they carry hopefully they have em locally at yours also I agree that make sure they sell em individual too its gonna cost more but better than buying a whole case we have a local shop that specializes in fasteners it was like $6 per bolt if you bought more than 30and was $11 if you bought less
haha thanks brah hmmmmm idk i think ima stick with mines i tryna go of hella flush look my djm kit is coming in next week so ill be xii coils and dim up front the back is gonna be a bit high till i can get the notch installed

 

Dayum!! i wish i knew i would of asked for em like month ago haha but I'm good for now xii coils and dim should be plenty of drop maybe add a spacer to that later in the future

 

The previous owner had a paint shop paint match them
they gotta take em off of course paint them then re install
Make sure they do a good job though the previous owner must have taken it to a cheaper shop under the mirror still has some black spots
hope it helps

 

Stoked! Let me know if you run into any problems which I doubt cuz it's a pretty easy install. If I remember right you already been dropping trucks. This was my first. It's gonna look good! Oh you gotta let me know how the front end is with the xii drop coils. I'm buying a set from another member. Can't decide if I want to throw those in or use the steel spindle spacers I already have!

 

For sure i will update you!! Im just praying that I can align the front with no problem:/
Should be even easier since i ordered mine with ball joints pressed in already
I say run the spacer first should put u at 4 inches up front run some BEEFED 3 inch blocks with your 4x4 leafs and notch be a real nice height if you feel the urge to be slammed! haha then the xii drop coils is gonna be your best bet

It doesn't seem like 1 inch will make a difference but honestly make a huge difference in the look and still be able to haul your bike

 

lol no worries. if you haven't already, there is a little metal tab sticking out on the driver side front fender, I would cut that off. I don't know what it is really for, but it's in a VERY dangerous area especially for static dropped trucks.

 

Yah hell yah pressing the ball joints was so annoying ha ha. I have no idea how to do an alignment so i just got a firestone lifetime alignment for this truck which was $200. It already paid for itself with doing the djm install, then taking it back after putting in the stock height xii coils.

Yah ill probably try the spacer first in the front hopefully no rubbing issues or anything weird. Ordered the 3 inch blocks last night cheehee. Notch will be going in tomorrow if all goes well.

Eh so did the drop coils really bring you down 1.75 inches supposably our trucks dont go down that much because the x runner has that extra weight up front from the engine. Any idea the exact amount the drop coils lowered you?

 

to be honest I am not quite sure because many say because the runner starts lower that the coil will lower the base model but i think the weight of the 4.0 offset the fact that the runner starts lower I'm not all that sure since i ad bought the truck with the coils already installed

However i did measure from center of the wheel to the fender and if I remember it was like 17 17 1/4 something like that

where you taking your truck to get the notch done at?
Yeah i dont mess wit alignment but my trucks have always gone to Scotty's in pearl city since he works on modified trucks and cars
Only thing about firestone is when they can't get it to spec they get all nuts

 

your lucky yours is coming with the ball joints installed mine was a pain in the a$$ and i discovered 2 days ago one of my lowers is ripped and there is like no grease left in it fml

 

Haha yeah well it cost an extra $95 but shit that's money well spent no need hassle
Dayum that's not good how did it rip?

 

damn that coil brought it down pretty low. Is the stock front 18-1/2 from center? and the back is 19-1/2 i think. That might be to low for me i might just go with the inch spacers for now. Maybe switch those out and put the drop coils after.

I install everything myself, so ill be doing the notch tomorrow morning Cant wait to take out all those annoying rivets on the bump stops, joy. lol Angle grinder has its work cut out for it.

 

Yeah i think stock front something like that well if you did 3 inch drop up front and your is 16 from center maybe stock is like 19 so yeah i say the drop coil did drop me like almost 2 inches but i say run the 1 inch spacer make it 4 inch drop out front would be best bet

dayum I want to install my notch myself I just don't have a grinder I install everything myself too but my last truck I had to have DH cut my notch cuz i didn't have a grinder

 

50 dolla for a hitachi and it came with a case and 5 grinding wheels. I bought 3 cut off wheels for tomorrow hopefully it will be more than enough. I see most dewalt 4-1/2 inch grinders for $60 or less. Cheaper then the labor for the install and then you have it forever!
