What's the fun if you're not awake to enjoy it?

 

Nice! What tire size/ brand are you thinking?

 

Havent thought about it yet. Once the lift is done I will look at trimming vs not trimming and decide from there. The trimming doesnt bother me but if I like it with out then why trim

 

Joy DOES come in boxes!

 

why is it that I find duck dynasty so entertaining

 

You are a simpleton?

 

Cause its awesome. I know most of it is staged, but I still like it

 

NAPA has a nice unit they loan out and I placed it on opposing sides of the coil to shorten the unit overall. I did the passenger side without one and because these are preset with 2" of lift it was tight--I had to force the lca down with a pry bar to slide the lower mount into the perch. No need for acrobatics on the drivers side thatnks to the spring compressor.
And yes--just rechecking torques on the front before I go for alignment. Gonna hit the rear end later this week. Once its line up, off to the weld shop for some fabbing and CMC installs

 

So I've always pondered putting an LS engine into the Taco one day. Well maybe this one will do...

do the rear before you bring it in for alignment, from what I have learned here, changing the geometry of the suspension in the rear can effect your rear toe, which changes the thrust angle. that could change what your ideal numbers would be up front. plus you should be able to bang out the rear pretty quickly

 

I just loosen the lca bolts and it swings free .
What are you having fabbed ? What's cmc ?

 

my guess is cab mount chop

 

Hey John, do you have any pictures of where you chopped yours?
Going to do it next week while i'm off along with a bunch of other things.

 

This is what I had in my photobucket account . I think I took alittle more off after those pics .

 

I took a little more off than that also. I really need to box mine lol

 

Do you weld in a new plate after the cut is made?

 

I cut that last summer and just haven't gotten around to weld a plate yet . I have some scrap metal sitting in my garage for it but its the motivation I don't have lmao

 

hmmm would say $50 give you the motivation to do mine and yours? lol. I don't weld I can cut and grind like a pro though

 

Noob question... Is that cut made to help clearance for the front tire?
