    God damnit. I convinced myself out of doing long travel because I absolutely cannot lose the bed space a cage would take up. Now you're convincing me that something like that would be "good enough"

    Well I heard there's no room in your wheel wells, so you may be safe.

    Yeah total brain fart haha I'm 1st gen. I was just kinda drooling on my keyboard looking at that then was like "hey dumbass your shocks are kinda on the other side of the frame"

    In other bank-account draining news, check out what I found during my turbo research (still a long way down the road, just starting to explore my options right now)

    http://www.theturboforums.com/threads/338173-Toyota-4-cyl-7-21-192-mph!!!-Bullseye-Power-S480

    I've come across lots of their parts for the 2rz in my searching. I like how all the guys in the thread (I'm sure are all domestic fans) have a boner for the little 2.4

    lolz.

    I know that pain. Who gives a shit about a pic of the final result, how'd ya' fuckin' get there?!?!

    I had to learn the hard way on about 1 carb'd engine, totally forgot where all the springs went. Several hours spent on google images. Pics were of carbs...with springs removed, or put back together carbs/springs, but pics taken to far away to tell where itty bitty springs went.

    Haha...ebay my friend. I lucked up. I think it was Northridge Toyota blowing them out. You're very welcome on the pictures. I'm glad they helped. Why not American Motorsports spindle lift this time?

    How can i get more travel out of my front suspension? Long travel really isn't an option right now but i'm not looking for that much more either. Can i do anything like new UCA's to get a couple more inches or is long travel really my only option?

    Currently i believe my suspension is all stock, front wheel wells were trimmed to fit 31's but they stick out a lot so i'm not totally sure.

    Didn't want to start a new thread or anything on this but any advice would be appreciated.

    Do the front tires stick out noticeably more than the rears? If so I'd guess you might have lift spindles or wheel spacers in the front.

    There's a few coil lifts that would net you a little more travel over stock for your truck. Fabtech's got discontinued (you might be able to find someone that still has a kit in stock, I got one site's last set of the spindles) but I think Doetsch Tech still makes one

    Well i fell kinda dumb i do already have lift spindles, it really shouldn't have taken me that long to figure out. Can i do uca's and new coils to get more travel or am i at the point where LT is really the only way to go?

    No you can get longer coils for more travel, although for what you're looking for I'd get UCAs and coilovers instead of new springs. Spindles, coils, rear shackles and an AAL should get you about a 6" lift overall.

    I was gonna get the second stage of the spindle/coil combo but now I've decided I'll just go LT after my frame inevitably fails and gets replaced

    I got a offer from family I can't refuse, they gave me a budget, and I can buy whatever vehicle I want as long as its within that budget, and I can add my own money to the budget if I want a newer or lower miles car.

    So I'm either getting a 05-08 taco, 00-07 tundra, a 99(?)-06 (?) chevy 1500 or a 04-08 f-150
    All 4 door, 4x4 and short bed.
