anyone know of a first gen kit for sale

 

Check out DR theres always first gen kits up for sale in the Classifieds

 

I believe the tundra and Tacoma kits are interchangeable.

There is a new camburg kit on socaltundras.

Ababba bolt or check out hose pros.

 

well heres the shackle with 50t at full droop...it has 19" from frame to axle...with shackles at 90* it has 17" from axle to frame, so looks like im going to be strapping it at about 17" of travel

 

wow! looks badass!! clean work bro.

 

I don't see a pic but that sounds good.
If you changed to a 12" shackle and changed your shackle frame mount you could prob get 18-19 but strapped at 17 is plenty.

I would never set up a truck with the shackle going forward past 90*, there is potential after fully drooping out for the shackle to pivot the wrong way under compression and bind up. It might never happen but the potential is there.

 

forgot the pic haha


full droop



it would be harder to get much more with 16" shocks and my current shock location

 

That's swinging way too far forward.
Run it strapped at 17, especially if you're limited by your shock mount setup.

 

What kind of clearcoat would you guys recommend for a cab cage? Haven't had any rust issues the past two months but I'm thinking about painting it before its too late

 

I didn't know you could place a 12" shackle in the frame. I thought it went on top of the frame. Correct me if I'm wrong...

 

It's a 9" shackle

 

O ok... So that shackle in the pic is a 9".... Makes sence.

 

Way way way way too far

 

WHOA!!!!!!!! That shackle is swinging way to far forward. Your going to Bind/Snap a main leaf if it comes back the wrong way. Change those limit straps shorter or something

 

X4 that's asking for major carnage

 

Shouldn't the pivot be moved forward, that looks brutal.

 

About 12" forward?

What does the at rest angle look like?
