Old Man Emu: Questions, Answers & Pictures

@HeadStrong Off-Road

 

We have some ready to send out! We are open this week.

Price is good. $10 shipping for a couple of bolts is not... lol.

 

Headstrong free shipping on everything.

 

Yeah, they're closed this week. Really just need to know the size. Anyone know? Just want to have them on hand when I install the extra leaf.

 

Im a 2016 TRDOR DCLB. I have a hirise camper shell, a wood frame platform (about 30' of 2x10 and a 3/4" sheet of plywood) and all my camping gear and tools that ride around with me. I measure about 19-20" give or take hub to fender. Stock as I understand it is 22". I am toying with the idea of the Dakars with or without an AAL. I cannot yet afford to lift the whole truck but my thought is that the Dakars will basically put me back to stock plus maybe a itsy bitsy bit more. Am I right or wrong? Will I need the AAL to get stock height or will that start to get me above stock height? Does anybody have a similar set up? Is the CS047R the right spring even though it doesn't show up on all websites as fitting my truck? These things seem to range anywhere from $200-$450. What am I missing here on the price?

 

$200 is for one leaf pack for one side. $400+ is for both leaf packs.

 

Take the bolt out and go to the hardware store?

 

That's what I'll do if no one knows what size they are. Probably just call ARB tomorrow.

 

Cool. They don't do a whole lot. A grade 8 for a couple bucks will probably work perfect.

 

Headstrong may be free shipping, but their price is 3 times ours.

PM me, ill get you taken care of. Or get you sizes.

 

Not that I want to get in a pissing match but I just got the full BP-51 kit from them and it was hundreds cheaper than you.

 

We do have a Tacoma World Discount that is 5% on orders. I was trying to get him some center pins for a good price either way.

 

I liked your other answer better!

 

Hey, thanks man. Just seeing your replies now. I was able to get an Amazon link for what I needed. Already on the way.

BTW, I wasn't trying to dump on your site before. Just making a joke about how these automated shipping deals figure for small inexpensive items sometimes

 

Youre good, shipping is one of those things we cant control too much of.

 

If that's the case you either need a better IT guy or a new SC manager.

 

What i mean is we get awesome rates from FEDEX, but we do work on shipping on some items that are at the lowest MAP price to help the consumer.

 

Hey all - I am brand new to TW, but have been reading tons and tons of posts on here for the last month or more. I'm also a noob to any sort of modding. My head is spinning with the amounts of info I've been reading. So, I apologize in advance as I am sure my questions are repetitive of something in the thousands of posts I've read. That said, I am very appreciative of any help you guys can offer.

I have a 2008 TRD sport DCLB. I'm going to get the 3" OME kit with 885s and plan on getting the top spacers for the full 3" and LR UCAs. Also want the Dakar leafs but am wondering what amount of lift that would provide on the rear - I don't have a shell or carry anything that heavy and don't do much off-roading (yet). This is my daily driver. I don't want to sit too ass high.

1. Will the top plate spacers and the full Dakars work for me to be level or just a slight rake?

2. Do I need the trim packer in addition to the top plate spacers?

I would like to run 285/70/17. I know 4.5 bs is ideal.

3. Does wheel size play any part in the rubbing? So if I keep 17s will it rub more than if I went down to 16s? I'm going to get new wheels regardless.

4. I'm fine with trimming, will a CMC be necessary?

Thanks again for any insight. You guys seem to really know your stuff and I love seeing all the pics- some really awesome trucks on this site!

 

1. Should still have slight rake.
2. Yes
3. All things bring equal, no
4. Yes

4" BS is ideal IMO
