1 ton first gen Tacoma

What kind of Dana 60 is it ford super 60 2005 or newer

 

05 super 60

 

Your truck would be allot lower if you would of used the original shock mounts I made the mistake to buying the ruff stuff coil mounts for my axle my truck was 10 inch lift status then I was told from WFO to use stock shock mounts and it ended up like I have it I’ll show you a picture of my trial and error wish the coil mounts on top of axle

 

With not wish

 

Unless you like 10 inches of lift I was shooting for low and wide WFO makes spacers to make your coils a perfect fit in the stock shock mounts on f350 axle 05 and up

 

That was a big fuck up on me and had to buy new coilover shock towers cause where they were with the top axle mount was way off but everyone makes mistake I’m far from perfect

 

You have your rotors and hubs machined also in front to match your rear bolt pattern

 

Man, I don’t know anything about this stuff but I like it. I’m debating doing a CMC and can’t pull the trigger. I can’t imagine what you have had to go through. Nice ride. Good luck.

 

It honestly wasn’t that hard when covid hit I got sent home with pay I went to Corwin ford in Boise bought the truck and came home ordered everything I thought I needed and starting the process I’m no mechanic guru but I made it happen I had my buddy do all the welding and I did everything else changing out 2wd tranny to 4wd and changed oil pan to t100 just looked up allot of forums and went for it it turned out great drives like a new truck honestly with the 42 bias iroks on the race line beadlocks

 

Good lawd that’s one of the cleanest SAS 1st gens I’ve ever seen

 

Thanks man it went through a huge transformation but I’m happy with it

 

Talk about low and wide. This is the epitome of low and wide crawler. Seriously love this.

 

Crazy what people say it costs to build one of these they all must have gold plated axles it’s the same price to do rock assaults front and rear to do Toyota that’s only reason I went with 1 ton

You run into some here

 

Thanks man

 

Did you have to remake the front 1/4 or so of the truck to get it lower?

 

No everything is stock man I didn’t even cut front little wannabe push bar off behind front bumper I just had it welded around solid it literally is just shoved into the frame ends

 

Damn... makes me look at my IFS and shake my head lol

 

Good to know
