Eh might. Longest shock you can put in the stock location is 10", I can fit a 12" without going through the bed but anything longer requires that.

Didn't know the TC kit allows stock shock locations though..

 

You can... But it wouldn't make sense heh. Definitely worthwhile to add in longer shocks.

 

Lol, speak of the devil! Haha

 

Haha what up!

 

Yeah definitely doesn't make it worth it haha

 

That's a rad set up right there. Kinda kills the ground clearance tho. You see that bracket attached to the leaf thats holding the e brake line? I need one of those. For some stupid reason i cut mine off when i installed my leafs, now the rubbing has almost wore a hole in the sleeve. Any idea where i can get one?

 

Wrecked taco at a junk yard or dealer

 

Great 2 places that will rape me on the price!!

 

Figured out my hazard/clock/airbag cluster. I totally missed the wire harness and it was just dangling behind the head unit. whew!

Highly recommended tools:

How was it this year man? I wasn't able to do any OCRs this year Hopefully next year I'll be able to get a couple 5K and Tough Mudder in. Really wanting to do Spartan this year but I had a wedding on that same day.

 

The skinny 255 toyos kept rubbing on the frame and the ucas since day one. If I would have known they rubbed I'd gone for the wider 285s. I wanted to avoid using spacers in the first place so I chose to run the 255s. I ordered spacers for the front and rear and I must say I like the wider look. Skinny but wide. Anyone think they look wierd?

 

From guys that have run similar set ups, they say any loss in clearance hasn't made a noticeable impact. The diff will probably still be the lowest part. In any case, if it makes it ride better at speed, I wouldnt mind scraping a little bit more heh.

 

You can use the springs as ramps pretty much to get up over rocks. Jberry went on the rubicon with us a few weeks ago and he's SUA and made it just fine, he's also been all through Moab

 

Night and day difference i bet! speed bumps are killer with the dakars and an AAL

 

Ok ill shut up now. Forgive me for pointing that out. All hail the SUA for the love of god

 

For pointing what out? Haha I never said SUA is perfect

 

Nothing Brian, continue on....

 

Depends how fast you hit them. The rebound rate hits hard after you clear the bump, but on gravel and potholes they rock.

 

I'm on my way up there. E.t.a 6:33 p.m.

 

If you want cheap just go get a conduit clamp from home depot/lowes (or similar item) Bend it so its a solid round hole with the holes that would normally have a nail/screw through them will line up with the bolt on the leaf spring. I'd put some heat shrink (or other "liner") so its not metal to parking brake contact. Will accomplish the same thing as the OEM toyota one. And should only cost a buck or two.
