Edit: nvm

 

Idn't that your wifey?

 

Shoulda swooped it when I was at your shop...




haha jk. I want the original text one.

 

What UCA/Coilover's does everyone recommend? On somewhat of a budget. probably 1,500-2,000 Max for both front/rear suspension. Looking for a capable 3" solid lift that can hold its own over time/miles. Ride quality is important, but it doesn't have to be superb. The top of the line icons aren't really in budget. Most likely I will be getting a new leaf pack, looking at Dakar. any other opinions?

I will be putting a lot of miles on the truck in the next year, then it'll sit while I'm at training/ranger school.

I will be taking the truck in early October on its first 'expedition' Taking time off before I leave for Ft. Benning to go out to Oregon, Idaho, yellowstone, black hills, etc. It's not going to be strenuous, as I have a PreRunner, but I'm looking at building a pretty good platform that'll let me take on fire roads. I'm also building a bed rack and roof rack for a RTT and to move my cargo basket from the bed, to the cab roof.

I'm leaving for Ft. Benning mid-late February and will be going thru Yosemite, grand canyon, monument valley, and the southern states.

 

I'm a Total Chaos fan. Light Racing and others manufacture similar products. Shocks. For the price, you are probably looking at Icon.

 

Thanks man!

 

That thing is a piece of junk!

 

It's what's in his price range-but for another G, you could easily be in Kings all around and TC's ($3grand).

 

That's what I was referring too. It's about $3gs and you're done. Micah at DSM can give a more accurate pricing and recommendation.

 

Yes, I was. And their service does not suck. I can highly recommend Down South Motorsports.

 

I like Old Man Emu with Dakar rear leafs. My Taco has that and my Landcruiser does too. My FJ55 has been running it for years, good stiff suspension.

 

You're just jealous. Besides, it would be temporary custody.

 

^^^This.
My mom did OME all around, dakar leafs, and Total Chaos UCAs on her 2nd gen and she loves it. I did the same plus ball joint spacers on my 1992 pickup and I love it as well. There is a ton of info on various threads regarding the OME lift.

 

your mom is hot.
