New Mexico Owners BS Thread

haha damn... those are the best kind of nights

 

I have those exact leafs on my truck just to give you an idea. They ride great but did provide a small lift

 

Oh and wheelers is the best in the business, awesome customer service.

 

I really like the way your truck looks, Steve, thanks for the input. Did you also go with new front coils to level it out?

 

OME 881's up front, rides like a rock with the 5100's. I'd go with the OME shocks if I did it again.

 

This conversation is sounding very familiar.

It is meant to be, Greg. Give in to the dark side of the Taco.

 

Keep in mind Greg that you'll get an additional 1/2" of lift up front and rear due to the single cab 4 cylinder. Then you'll be required to run 35's at a minimum

 

09tacorunner no lift or anything just stock. I'm not sure about tires at the moment . Both sets of rims come with tires so I guess what ever comes on them.

 

09tacorunner thank you for your reply

 

Tomtom I will check the rims to make sure they have that backspace thanks for the reply

 

Anyone want my stock sport shocks? There about to be tossed in the trash

 

99taco27505 do you have to regear to accept 17x9 or is this your preference to do so

 

you only need to regear when you go to a bigger tire for example a 35" tire... regearing somewhat helps restore lost power. the bigger tire like a 35 will be heavier thus needing to be regeard

 

Rim size has nothing to do with regearing. Regearing is based on going up in tire size.

 

It isn't so much the weight difference as it is putting the engine RPMs behind the power curve. You start making 1st gear look like 2nd gear, 2nd gear look like 3rd, etc. Facing a steeper gear requires more power to get up to speed.

 

thats what i was going for but couldn't quite think of how to put it so i just stated about restoring the lost power! thanks for clarifying

 

Yar but you're right, the weight does play into it a bit as well.

 

Tom and Jason pretty much said what my reply would've been.

That and I have this huge heavy thing hanging under my engine/frame. (Solid axle )

 

Well. Officially going to be in Cruces for awhile. Signed the rental agreement to my new house!

 

Just got an invoice in my email from East Coast Gear Supply.

Tracking number isn't active yet so no clue when delivery will take place.
