What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

X3!

 

I've been wondering the same thing..could it be because there is no weight in the back? It seems to flex fine when I'm wheeling...

Lol!

Well thanks y'all. Conor (CBoy808) cut em but I sent him the design after fiddling around in Photoshop for a couple minutes. He's already got it in vector, so I'm sure he can just hit the button and cut you some more.

 

Not sure where to ask this, so Ill ask here. I know that removing the sway-bar helps you get more flex and possible more travel, but how does it affect the truck when driving on an off-camber road? I figured that your truck would lean more towards the downward slope of the road? Is this correct?

 

Depends how stiff your springs are.

 

...also if your shocks are hanging short. check brake system too just to be sure nothing is short.

 

Little bit of playing in the sand @godsend

 

Fucking awesome

 

5100s/Eibach. Extended brake lines from wheelers on the way. LR UCAs.

 

Not sure what you mean by leaning toward down ward slope. There is definitely more body roll.

 

How long are your rear shocks? Also how much rear lift is from springs and how much from shackles?

 

5100s in the rear also with wheelers progressive 1.5AAL leaf pack. Overload still in. no shackles.

 

I guess since there is more body roll on turns due to the force when turning, will I experience the same affect when driving on off camber roads where the weight of the body will make the cab lean/roll towards the downward slope of the off camber road? Hopefully that makes sense.

 

Yeah, it seems that Bilstein does not publish the lengths of the 5100 series shocks since they are sold by "application" rather than length. My guess is that the shock matches the OEM lengths which means you might not get much droop. You would have to load it on a ramp to see the full flex rather than just lifting the rear strait up.

I still have the OEMs on while my springs and shocks are on order. I think I only get like 4 inches of droop on a strait rear hang.

 

There are no brakes on the front so if you lift the rear it will want to roll forward and slide sideways. I derped something similar so now I block the tires or use a crowbar to engage the front brakes when lifting the rear.

 

Hmm, I wonder if a line lock would be smart for keeping the front brakes on in emergency lifting situations.

 

I had my 4wd engaged and in first gear lol I'm not that dumb. The ass end was sliding to the side rather than flexing more

 

This wont happen unless you have some really worn out springs and shocks. It rolls from the force of turning, it wont lean simply because the truck is running along a small slope.

 

Thank you. Just the information I was looking for.
