Anywhere from 200/300 to 300/300 might have to go lighter due to less weight with no cab cage , hard to say

Hey guys, I just got my long travel 9" lift installed. How high do you think I can jump my truck off the curb? Its a Walmart parking lot and for those of you who have them, they're pretty big curbz.

 

DRUNK!

 

Did you get them ?

 

This is the pic he sent me, they look to short to be a 8 to me but im not sure. What are they worth he wants 250 ? I will use them with 3.5 tc kit eventually. I would need the ext rod end and coils correct ?

Edit: also im 4wd and arent they missing the part to hold the bottom of the coil ?

 

Hmmm. Those look like 6s... and ya you would need new rod ends to clear the cvs. You also obviously need coils and the lower spring retainer which will be around another $250ish

 

So is $250 worth it ? Or should I offer him like $200. And how do I make sure they are 8's just pull the shaft out all the way and it should measure 8 in ?

 

Correct. As long as its close to 8in, you are good to go. I think that $250 isn't that bad because even if you found a good used set and the guy selling them says he just rebuilt them, you can't really prove that he did so that's always an expense when buying used. If you can get them for $200 that's great! I would just go to kartek and buy the king lower retainer and while you are at it, grab some 18" x 3,0 x 650-700 lbs springs from eibach. In a way its nice because the shocks are a good platform to make them the way you want. I belive king also sells high performance/high heat viton seals as an upgrade when you rebuild them.

 

Cool thanks hiatt, im going to meet him this afternoon

 

Tits. If they are 6s, tell him to pick them up and throw them in the trash... lol jk

 

VITON seals not voting. Ghey phone...

 

Will do lol

 

you should ask him to measure it so you dont need to waste your time meeting up with him.
they look like 6s to me

 

Maybe they are 8's the tiles their on are 12" and the shafts look like they are greater than half a tile

On second thought, no they don't

 

X2

 

Yeah im going to drive right thru where he lives today for work so thought I would just check them out. I will ask him though

 

can any of you fine gentlemen point me in the direction of a thread containing info on a proper fuel cell install on a 1st gen ? possible to smog a truck with said cell here in epa/treehugger hippy california ?

 

Not specific to 1st gens... Or even tacomas for that matter. And it's lengthy, but there is some really good info in here about fuel cells. FWIW
