Mid Mo guys step in.

Would anybody in the area that's good at installing suspension be willing to help me out at some point? I plan to get some new leafs here soon but there's nobody local that I know that could help...

Would just like to have an extra set of hands to help things go a little faster!

 

The rear srpings are pretty easy.
Cut off the ubolts, drive out the front spring pin, drop the rear shackle, assembly is the reverse of that
Don't do what I did, and think you can press the old bushings out of the rear shackle, they're bonded in there. I destroyed one in the press trying to get the bushes out and had to get a replacement. Just reuse what's there, or, order new shackles if you think your bushes are bad.
The fronts are harder, if you're going to do the struts yourself.
I don't have a coil spring compressor, so I ordered new top hats and bushes, and took the struts and coils to a buddy's shop and had him build those for me.
Then, you disconnect the sway bars, drop the old struts, and put in the new ones.

 

I'm only installing new leaf springs. Already have aftermarket setup up front.

I already know the steps needed, I plan to just cut all of it off instead of trying to save anything since it's been a Northern truck for most of its life.

I'd just like to have an extra set of hands.

 

anybody here interested in a pair of toytec eibach coils??? brand new in box...really want to sell them local because shipping is too much..

 

pcbuilder are you satisfied with your eibach coils?

 

Yeah, they've served me well! Have no issues with them.

 

That's me. I got on here and made a profile when I first bought my truck, but haven't been on here in awhile. I'll have to get on here and update info. Polymerhead gave me a heads up about your post. Thanks for the complement.

 

It's a sweet looking rig for sure.
Think I might have spotted PcBuilder14's truck as well on hwy 65 south of Sedalia the other day as well?

 

Nah, don't think it was me. I was on 13 heading North from Springfield Tuesday morning though.

 

10-4...Hard to tell some times from across the hwy.
I see a lot of Taco's and ton's of other cool shit out on the road everyday. one perk of being a FedEx guy

 

If you guys would ever all want to meet somewhere;
I have a shop big enough to hold quite a few folks, and, a fridge in it that could hold some beer.
Conversely, I also live pretty close to Shakespeares South. They have a lot more beer, and, pizza.

 

Alan would you be able to help me with my lift if I gave you some cash and Beer

 

I'm always up for meeting some new folks .
Garage/Shop get together's are always a good time

 

Help with lift;
Sorry man; probably not til march.
Football I of basketball is bust insane time of year with work

 

Seen this http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/pts/4222608344.html
Not sure if this os one of you guys on here or not?
Seems like a good $$?

 

I saw it too but no interest in a spacer lift.

 

Well, that's not much money.
But, it's junk. Spacer up front leaves you with stock springs and rates.
And: that's one big a** spacer, to get 3"
Add a 3" leaf in the back just makes a choppy stock spring super stiffer.

no thanks.

 

I would be up to meet some other tacoma owners in the area and get some ideas on what to do to my tacoma. Would like to add some things but not sure where to start.

 

Where in central Missouri are you located? I'm at Whiteman AFB and would like to meet up with somebody with a fellow 1st gen Tacoma too! Haha
