The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

It does, you just can't tell from your vantage point.............

 

This has probably been covered already but I need pictures and insight from someone who's run this set up before.
2.7 4x2 DC prerunner

I'm adding a 120# to the front end (US OFF-ROAD hidden mount & Smitty 9.5 winch w/ synthetic line)
How will this extra weight effect the ride height on 884s with Billy's @ 0? A 1.5 or 2.0 AAL w/ TSB and Billy's in the rear will also be added.

I don't want to go over 2". Not looking for huge lift, I just need a light spring to comfortably control the added weight in the front. I know the 2.7 is light already.
Seeing if someone has pictures of a similar suspension setup with a bumper or winch.

 

I've gotten several letters from dealership wanting to buy my truck back.....at ridiculously low price. Last one being from last week with up to $6800. I laughed thinking as fucking if while tossing the junk mail. It'd take 20+ to even temp me and I know that won't happen so I just wish they'd fuck off with that nonsense. I am fully aware that is unrealistic expectation for a 9 yr old truck with 145k on it......but their lowball BS is equally unrealistic. I told the sales person yeah, I want to chk out some new regular cabs last time I went to dealership for the wife's brake pads. The weird looks on his face trying to figure that one out were priceless. Took him a coupla minutes to get to "they don't make those anymore" at which point I said OK, nevermind then.

 

Did a little flex test today

 

With the forklift there, get some flex pics of the rear, move the forklift to the rear, do the same thing to get some front flex pics.

From what I see, the rear looks cool.

 

Anyone on here running fox 2.0 coilovers? I'm just wanting some input on experience from a reg cab owner, and after a lot of research I can't find much relating fox 2.0 to reg cabs.

 

How much lift were you able to achieve with the 2.0? I have 285 and still want to be able to clear those.

 

Cab mount chop is key, I need to find a fab shop around here that could do it. I'm not even sure if there is a fab shop around me in West Virginia.

 

Is there a high risk of the cab mount bushing melting? Can they only weld a little at a time and let it cool ?
I've never welded so I wouldn't know I'm just curious

 

Debating on whether or not I should sell the topper, it's like a big sail on the interstate !

 

Drive it out to Wyo! I'd buy it.

 

If I wasn't in college I would drive right out there and bring it to ya! I really want to drive around all of the national parks out there !

 

Toying with selling mine. It would be closer

 

Shoot me a pm if you do. I really want a mid rise but I won't pass up a deal. I am selling the land cruiser so I'll have some extra cash pretty soon

 

Local guy did a v8 4.7l swap in his regular cab.

 

..

 

pics? more info?

EDIT: Nevermind! That's awesome

 

Damn, that's what I need.

 

Yeah, he entered in the mud drags at a local event. Some people sent videos of other rigs on a chat group, but did't capture any of his truck in action.
