Tacoma Spring refurbishing

True. Probably drop the overload. But I'm gonna have the tsb leaves after a frame replacement. So I hope those are still workable

 

Being 4x4 you may need the top plate spacer with the ome 885x springs to get a full 3 inches. I'm 2 wd and got 3 inches with out the top plate. But I wish I would have gotten it to get me close to 4 inches. With the tsb springs you would need less additional leafs to give you your desired lift.

 

I want 2.5" lift front and 3" rear about. Gotta watch those CV angles

I'm gonna remove all the leafs except the main 2 or will remove all of them except for the one main leaf and add to that.

 

4wd problems. 3 inches on the rear is a bit high for only 2.5 in the front. Just for reference mine is 3 in the front and 2-2.5 in the back

 

Oh right, I meant like equal lift and a little more in the back so I have rake for when I tow/haul

 

To me 1-2 inches over front is about right.

 

4WD,

I want to lift for as little $ as possible, I know, shocker lol.
Do u have the length of all the leafs u cut?
I am total stock w/o tsb leaf pack.
I will get spacers for the front shocks.
I think I want 2.5 in front and 2.75 to 3 in back.
Do u have a preferred make, model, and year truck from the JY?
I have a great JY by me with a wide variety of stuff there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

Better off PMing him, but lemme look quick. His info: look for '70's -80's 1/2-3/4 ton chevy trucks.... look for nice/evenly ARC'd springs Even Ford springs just make sure the width is the same or close to it...

 

Thanks for the info.
I was going through all the posts but got o like page10 and was like, I'm going to be here forever and miss somthing doing it. Lol
Thx again

 

Hello late night thread find! This is going on my list of mods Forget AAL!

Bump for one of the best threads on the site.

Hope Doug's still around.

 

Yeah, he's probably busy or something.

 

Moving

 

Moved...to Nevada & loving it so far but this is the first time I've had web access in a month & I'm in San Diego for a couple days, then heading back but I'll have internet this time, been missing my TW crew & got to get with a couple of you to tie up some loose ends...:

 

Good timing to come back on! Ears burning?

 

Hell no, I just lurk until the timing is right....

 

Good to see ya here, I sent you a pm, answer at your leisure. Thanks!

 

I was given two sets of OEM packs. Thinking of re-arching and building a pack. Anyone else think this is not a good idea?

 

On the re-arching, I have no clue, but I think it'd make them stiff depending on how much re-arch you do to them.

On building up the pack like OMD, good idea
