Airdog's 2012 Prerunner Access Cab (slow) Build

Count me in! I mean who can turn down a green valley sausagefest. I know Greg won't.

 

Lots of good info in here. I'm definitely going with a DMZ SUA kit, now I just need to figure what setup I should pair with it in the rear....

 

Tom, I'm copying your set-up with stock length arms.

What spring rate are you running on your coilover? Did you change up the valving on the coilover or bypass? Would you change anything now that you've been running it a little while?

 

Ah damn did I miss some froadin? I haven't gone anywhere in a minute, been having to throw handfuls of dirt at my truck to make me feel better.

 

Possibly this weekend if work doesn't call. And if it doesn't snow or the snow melts by the weekend.

 

I called King to order those triple bypasses and they were totally confused as to the specs for that shock. Can you send me the info? Thanks

 

Thats doesn't sound right. I don't specificly have the specs. Did you tell them that you are using TC stock length LCA's and TC hoops? From what I hear King should have a specific PN for that setup. At least that is what SDHQ told me. They did all the foot work for me. Your other choice is to contact TC directly and see what they have to say.

 

here for the sausagefest

 

I know it doesnt sound right at all. Im going to call Pat @TC tomm and possibly SDHQ. Are they 6" travel shocks? That is what King was thinking.

 

Yup, 6" travel

Thanks for the research man.

 

I love this shot... Hopefully the landing was smoother than it looks

 

It was very smooth actually. I was surprised when I saw this pic.

I thought someone had told me at some point that King had a specific part number for this setup. Possibly ending with TC.

 

There could be a specialized part number. Probably for factory valving reasons. My 8" coilovers and bypasses had a TC on the end of the item code as that is the valving baseline they use for the 2nd gen Tacoma's. If you are going to revalve, then I doubt it would matter much.

Matt just call DSM and have them order them for you, they will valve them specific to your truck free of charge.

 

I do know mine were valved 15/10. Other reason I can think of for a specific part number is bypass tube placement for this setup.

 

There is a specific Part # for all of the TC kit's as far as shocks go from King and Fox.

It's a custom shock TC did the legwork as far as valving specs, length, rod end size, tube placement, spring rate, ect...

As far as custom valving, I would trust what TC has in there to start with.

That being said, We can also order custom valving on any fox/king/icon if you know what you are wanting. No charge or anything. it's an option with any company.

Tom let me do all of the legwork and sat back and had a beer. That's what i am here for guys.

Any questions PM me.

 

Thanks for all of the help SDHQ, Lembowski, Airdog. I got them ordered but found out that King only offers these in a double bypass. This is due to the third tube being useless with the amount of oil in the shock. Thats what King told me this week. It is interesting that Fox makes these in a 3 tube...

Again I appreciate all of the help.

 

Anytime glad we could help. So are you going with fox or king now?

Well I finally got my Redline shocks for my hood. This is a must have mod took about 30 minutes to do the mod.

 

I had these. I loved them...They just wouldnt work with my fiberglass hood. They ripped right out of it.

 

King, but just doubles. Its all gotta match to keep my OCD in check.

Nice choice on those hood struts. I need to put those on this truck.
