Johnny's Appleseed

lol yes that first ride is choice A prime meat!

Thanks man - it rides great, my brother has a build STI and he just complimented on how its smoother than his car. the 33's work for now...until the 37s come and play

 

Sorry for the late reply - but in the rear i have the Leaf pack + the 5125 shocks which are a bit longer than yours.
I also go extended U-bolts and stainless break line (extended).

I think your rear end setup looks awesome!! Truly great looking truck!!! I would say leave it as is, as long as your happy with the ride. Lol i have so much rake i have a hard time seeing the street lights hahahaha

 

This will make a good man have bad thoughts!!!

 

So I think all I need is new U-Bolts and bushings; what size U-Bolts did you order? and did you ever get around to ordering new bushings for your rear shocks?

Also did you have to do much, if any pounding or trimming to fit your 33s?

 

lol or a bad man have worse thoughts

 

All-Pro said i did not need new u-bolts for the new leafs, however when i went to install the new packs i realized i needed new ones. So i just went to NAPA and got lengthened ones. I ended up cutting some off with a hack saw.

The rear shocks came with new bushings.

I did ZERO trimming/pounding to fit my tires. Every now and then when backing up at at a turn they will rub, other than that they fit perfect.

 

Good to know, yeah the lady from All-Pro tried swindling me an extended leaf pack where I'd have to weld something to my shock mounts or some BS... I'll be sure and pick up some U-Bolts this week -- Expos are set to be in stock Thursday

Ah good news with the bushings. What are you rubbing on with your tires? UCAs or the fender...?

 

I believe im running the lower part of the front bumper - but im not 100% sure as every time i rub im driving hahah

Idk i'll only have the suspension for a short while longer

 

Oh that's easily fixable with a new Elite plate bumper or trimming the bumper in the meantime

Oh yeah? Howcome & what are you switching to??

 

lol ya im thinking i'd like a plate bumper one day -

Well i have a solid axle now, so that will be going under the front end.

 

thanks for the compliment man i appreciate it. im like u i got a lot of rack now that the back is sitting a little higher. it makes up though for the camper and the spare on top though. ur truck though man is bad ass ill have to say and extremely clean and shinny like mine, i think we have about the only 2 dc that are that clean and all for 1st gen anyway. i have the back set at 1.5" right now and to me that is plenty enough imo.

 

Sub'd awaiting the SAS.

 

sub'd Waiting for sas probably gonna post sas porn on here now..

Edit: had to make it a white taco though..

 

makes two of us!!!

 

That's some sexy shit right there!! Am i looking at 1 tons rolling on 38.5 Mickey MTZs?

 

no those arent tons actually i think thats a 44 with a custom cover and yeah 38.5 MTZ's but only cuz you like em..

 

Of course I like em! But I love the baja claws!!!
This may be a dumb question, but considering ill be At stock width, could I just throw some 2" spacers on when I wheel for a better COG?

 

no such thing as a dumb question.. Yes to your question. Wheel spacers just scew with your SIA (steering) angles when youre wheeling thats not a big deal. Though if it pushes the tires out it may make it so you cant clear tires at full stuff.

 

My question should have been "should" instead of "could".

Ideally i'll be high enough where the highest point in the tire won't rub regardless. Just thinking i could put a 2" spacer on each hub for a wider stance each time i wana go wheel. Easy to take off and put back on.

Here's a height i like. If i remember right, 14" coilovers, 5" TG springs out back on 36s (total lift from stock - 17")

 

$50 says youll put em on and leave em on.
