Rear Suspension - Best Ride Quality

@TacoMaxxxx. Fox 2.5. Sagged to about 22 1/4" so I gave them a few turns so im close to 22.5". Already had about 2" of thread from factory so would rather not raise them anymore.

Thanks for the quick response! Ya im almost certain id have too much rake for my liking with these springs but i think theyd be perfect with my tool box, shell and crap (500+lbs ish). Scott was saying something about modifying them for a little less lift but they were closing and i wasn't purchasing anything today anyway. Nice guy

 

I actually think you might be pleasantly surprised. You're going to get less lift than you think with that much weight in the back. Scott will take care of you no matter what. I would just leave your vehicle there for the day and let them know exactly how much height you want. They'll make it happen. He's already promised that he'll add to mine if I'd like as well.

 

Right on if possible thats what ill do. Im only 4 hours north. Otherwise iM thinking id be i uninstalling and making another trip to drop off and get them adjusted. Would rather not remove a spring so im not sure how he lowers amount of lift but he said he could i think. That # was very helpful. Almost bought em on the spot but i was thinking that its just a little too much lift for me

 

Just make a day out of it and go to Disneyland or something. They'll probably adjust the arch or remove a leaf. It only really takes 45 minutes to do the install and from there they will see where it stands. Are you looking for a level stance or a slight rake? If I'm reading it right you only have around 2.5" if lift in the front which would mean that a 1" lift in the back would put you at a slight rake to begin with.

 

I was thinking something like 1.5" would be ideal. not too into rake so level is good. That way if i remove tools for the weekend i wouldn't be too ass high. when i drop in sliding toolbox w/ tools truck drops drops almost an inch. but thats with fried tsb, overload and icon aal. Maybe ill just See if my sis needs anything done around the house. Kill two birds

 

Cant afford disneyland after this truck lol

 

How about 3- or 4-link with coilovers or long airsprings, unfortunately ready bolt-on kits don't exists, needs custom fabrication: http://www.chassisunlimited.com/store/suspension/link-kits.html?mode=list

 

Anyone have Pictures of J66 at full flex? if you are running them any input on comparing them to the All pro standard leaf flex. I understand the standard J66 is a 1" lift and the All pro standard is 3" lift but more interested in the flex/travel.

 

Yeah I have a new set all pro standards installed and a set of J66 in garage, Just been looking for pictures of how the J66 flex. Guess I might need to take pictures and measurements of both installed and post them up. I have read many good reviews and seen great pics on allpro but nothing on J66 other then they ride nice.

 

These are j66 on my buddies taco only complaint can't carry heavy load there to soft

 

Stock shackles? They look real good

 

I Gave him my old setup defined greaseable shackle there .5 inch taller and also give him defined shackle brace makes the hangers stiffer.

But the .5 inch wouldn't make that much of a difference.

 

I am running J66 with SOS shackle flip, BAMF shock relocation and 12" travel Foxs. These pics aren't even at full flex. Used to lift a wheel alot, now they barely come off the ground.

 

That's what I was looking for Very nice flex...Thank you for sharing

 

Left truck is mine ato shackle flip with wheelers progressive addaleaf if I had longer shocks it would get more.

Right has 12 inch bamf relocation and old man emu.


Really if you do a shock relocate you'll get more flex how Toyota designed the shock location really limits the travel with these trucks

 

Very cool pic...Yeah my rear is a custom setup and going to start with the all pro standard and see how she sits. I really want something about 2 " lift in rear. I have the archive garage shackle flip kit installed and that put me close to 4" lift. I know they will settle but I might steal my sons new J66 and try those.

 

I think people take out a couple leafs in the allpro springs I forgot which ones but makes them little softer.

Is this another truck your building I thought you where doing cantilever SAS setup



Edit: sorry never hit you up for the 12 in kings work been crazy haven't had a day off 2weeks

 

Same truck, Its cantilever with leafs. I'm pulling 13" from the all pro at full flex. Once the front is on rubber we will have a better idea of how low it will sit. I'm leaning on the J66 and maybe have them re-arched to hold a 2" lift.

 

That's what my buddy has in the fisrt pic reached with 2 extra leaf from Deaver he likes them when there no weight add a spare tire and little more weight there still to little soft for high speed but for crawling you might be happy with


Try them out allpro first you might like the stance but if you want make little softer take out couple leafs

 

cool, yeah I'm defiantly trying the allpro first. Hey off topic just realized your name. Are you with BAMF?
