Old Man Emu: Questions, Answers & Pictures

OZ and I agree, negative arch is bad. I haven't gotten to it yet, but I'll use the Wheelers bumps when I do.

 

Negative arch is bad, mmmm k.

*insert stupid south park meme*

 

Yes, Mr Mackey.

Not sure why they don't recommend them when you buy the kit. I asked them if there was anything else I needed. bastards.

 

My buddy ordered the full ome kit from toytec. It came with the deaver aal. I guess it gave him am option of he had the rear leaf tsb done. I'm not sure if his has been done. But he got the aal for as if it had been done. Will it work you think?

 

That's not a full OME kit

 

Well full front ome and rear ome shocks. But will the deaver leaves work?

 

Those leaf springs will give you 1.5" of gain. So it would level the truck if your buddy went with the 885x and no top plate spacers (2.5" of gain).

 

When they say TSB leafs, they mean the 4 leaf pack. Does he have 4 leafs (3 leafs and an overload)? If so, then he's fine. If not, then I don't think it'll work, that's why they have 2 different options.

 

Not so. I have the TSB AAL and I don't have the 4 leaf pack. It's just a difference in size. One is 1.5" and the other 2".

 

That's right, I have seen folks talking about a 3-leaf TSB pack. My bad.

 

LOL WUT??

Toyota leafs (non canada) = 3 leaf {2 leaf + 1 overload}

Toyota TSB leaf = 4 leaf {2 leaf + 1 TSB leaf + 1 Overload}

There are two "rear leaf TSB's" Someone might have them confused.

That's not the first thread i've read with people getting a 3-leaf from a TSB.

Edit: Also, there are plenty of US Tacomas that come with the 4-leaf pack. Mine did. And when I had the drive line TSB done, they put a different 4-leaf pack on.

 

The TSB I posted is 05-11. I would hope they would have learned from this experience and put 4 leafs on all 12+.

12+13 don't have Harsh/Sag ride TSB yet. They are talking about a vibration TSB at your link.

sub'd to make trolling easier...


I love my dakars

 

They have not learned their lesson....there's still a 3-leaf pack out there for '12-'13.

 

They only put TSB on the website so that if you have the 4 leaf pack you know to get the 1.5" AAL instead of the 2". It's not really relevant other than the fact that the 4 leaf pack sits higher and thus needs less of a lift.

 

Well he has 3 leaves and an overload. But we picked the truck up this mornin so I guess all is good

 

I am semi-sad to report that my Dakars have started squeaking. Quite loudly... It's been about 2000 miles on the new lift.

I know there have been some links to fixes. Ill check them out and report back.

 

Have you rinsed them out well at a car wash ?
