Alabama thread!

Good info right there

 

yep I remember seeing that and have forgotten to go look at mine, again...have had no issues thus far.

 

that’s all that matters. It’s not a huge issue obviously, but it was enough for me to look at springs that were designed and tested for the Tacoma.

I have also seen people seek out Hilux specific springs to use on Tacoma’s for excess weight.

 

I need to check mine when i get home. I havent noticed anything yet though. Might be because of all the weight i have though

 

“This is a serious issue during hard off road use, especially when the rear axle is articulated with one rear wheel compressed up, and the other rear drooped out, the 2nd leaf below the main leaf slides out to hit the shackle. Worse, during droop, the rear of 2nd leaf emerges from the shackle cavity, then slides out of alignment (due to normal spring mechanics), and now will jam into side ribs of the shackle as wheel goes back towards normal ride height. This results in dangerous binding forces, terrible embarrasing popping noises, and damage even to STOCK shackles and hangers.”

Check the shackles.

Hmmm the popping noise.........

 

So if it is happening there will probably be missing paint in that area? Also is there a fix or just replace the pack? Im not complaing cause i didnt even pay half of what a new pack costs.

 

People are cutting the 2nd leaf to stop the binding. It’s in the hammer hanger thread.

just for everyones knowledge

 

After getting that info I went ahead and ordered those light/medium load springs, I don't off road enough to dictate spending deaver money right now. Thanks guys for the help, you Alabama folk are good.

 

Hope they work well for you. I’m excited to get mine in.

Dobinsons can take the same amount of abuse that the Deavers can if you decide to start wheeling

 

Tell him to go look at those Milestar Patagonia MT. See lots of YouTubers running them.

 

Well that explains why Scotty has not had any problems with his

 

I don’t call it a driveway king for nothing

 

I know my 2wd will never have the potential that your 4wd does, but doesn't stop me from enjoying myself. And yes I enjoy most of the funny one liners on TW not just the ones poking at Scotty.

 

lol calm down I took my 2wd comment back I didn’t mean it offensively

 

Wheres the best palce/deal for tpms sensors?
