2nd Generation Tacoma Rear End Questions.

i must ask why? lol

 

Yeah for me its dmz or im looking at giant motorsports kit too now. But honestly its between dmz and dtf for me. The dtf kit looks badass

 

its gonna get way to hot. second gens are pretty heavy

 

dtf has a spring under kit?

thats what i was thinking.

 

Yeah they do, shoot I would love to upgrade to their front kit too haha but that wont happen

 

no ragrets. I also went with the defined kit first, wasn't right for my needs even here in Colorado, and now my DMZ sua kicks ass!! Do it right the first time, don't cut corners, you have fun long time.

 

Don't forget to add $$ for brake lines, ubolt kit and most of all Install fab work lol.

 

Yeah after I bought and installed my total chaos kit a few months later I saw the DTF Long Travel kit. I would of bought that one...

Yeah and leaf spring perch for the SOA I think too.
I'm going to be doing the install and fab work myself or with a friend.
My tucks never seen a shop for anything yet, alignment, maintenance, installs, fab work, ect. I want to build my truck myself. It's been a goal of mine since high school.

 

I built a custom SUA kit with a custom Deaver pack, stock location hangers, tig fabbed shackles, and a hydraulic bump welded to the frame. I can pull close to 15" at full bump on this setup, and with a fabricated hanger slightly relocated, it'll pull 16" solid from bump to strap. Also now using DMZ's Mr. Beefy U-bolt plates.

Best move I ever made on the rear end. I, too, fell victim to the Mid travel rear end setup that was totally not what I needed. If I could have done it again, I would first LT the rear then the front.

 

Damn that's a badass truck. I saw your video on Instagram hitting those whoops last week.
Yeah what I know now from learning here I would of done the rear first, but I got a total chaos long travel kit +3 with everything including 8" 2.5 fox remote resivior coilovers for $2,000... My rear end is completely stock right now. I want to figure out everything before I start hacking it up or buying stuff I won't want/need.

Do I need a slip yoke drive shaft?
