According to this: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/stock-trd-hub-to-fender.387157/

"My 2014 DCSB OR when it was new:

LF 20 1/4"
RF 20 3/4"
LR 21 3/4"
RR 22"

They had TSB rear leaf springs."

So looks like I got about 1.75" - 2" of lift out of the ADS shocks & Icon RXT leaf pack with the weight configuration that I'm running.

 

Got the BAMF MOLLE panels installed today.

 

Looking good

 

Thanks man.

Where are you at with working on 35’s?

 

I'm at the just spent $7500 on two gas fireplaces part.

 

I've got the gears and the rear locker sitting in my garage. Debating on buying Knock off arb air lockers after reading a few australia 4x forums.

 

Gotcha! It’s true that 35’s won’t keep you warm at night unless you’re burning them!

 

I was chatting with a guy goes by Zuk here locally asking him some questions about regearing. When I get around to it, I’m seriously leaning toward the Eaton-Harrop mechanical front e-locker and just keeping my OBA for airing up/down after reading about some guys having problems with air lines and diffs not holding pressure well.

I dunno - might be an option to consider and maybe cheaper.

 

Truck is looking good man love the updates. Really like those ADS and the ATH front!

 

Lookin' real nice!

 

Thanks gentlemen! You all have a great holiday season!!

 

Merry Christmas.

 

Hey Justin,

Noticed your running the Icon RXT Stage IIIs... How have these held up? And do you expect any issue when you mount the additional weight of an RTT? I'm looking to rebuild my rear suspension and am trying to see if these leafs would be enough for my fat ass...

Also... as the Archive Hammer Hangers/Shackles - have you installed these yet? Curious to know how well they work in conjunction with the leaf setup.

Any input would be awesome!

 

Ryan haha but that's ok!

The RXT's have held up great. I'm loaded down pretty decently with the dual swing out rear and spare/hi-lift etc. but the ride is great. I went with option 3 (all leaves installed) right off the bat because I knew I was going to be adding a RTT at some point. I don't think the RXT's will have trouble with the additional weight of the tent. I have probably 1.5-2" of positive rake right now so I may be pretty close to level by the time another 250 lbs of tent gets added on.

Still have not installed the Archive hammer hangers - I've been lazy.

Cheers man!

 

My bad "Ryan" Haha...

All good to hear... You in AZ? Maybe if I get these hammer hangers too, we can do some rivet grinding and a few cold ones.

 

22 rigs went out to Boulders / Hieroglyph mountain this past weekend. 22 mile loop.

 

Yeah that's what I'm dreading the most are those damn rivets.....probably why I've been dragging my heels.....

 

Well keep in touch...
