The boosted screaming taco build!

Oof bud. Bet those old rotors could be turned and they'd be alright. Id cut them and run them.

Hope the EBCs work out

 

i dont remember what company made the old rotors but they werent good quality either and i got like 6 years out of them so im sure the EBCs will be fine

 

the EBCs have good reviews so i figured theyd be decent, idk though

 

Super successful day at the shop yesterday. The rear suspension in the big guy is now fully upgraded. Bilstein shocks replaced with Fox, OME 300lb leaf springs replaced with Deaver 1000lb springs and the factory hangers/shackles replaced with Archive garage hammer hangers with shackles and crossbar. Fun stuff

 

I think you made some good choices for your setup with those deavers and the archive hammers.

Interested to see how those EBCs work out. Good luck.

There a few big brake options out there that utilize toyota parts when those blow apart on you.

 

i dont think i can move to big brakes without moving to 17s and i dont want to get new wheels and tires

 

Had to do a little trimming to the jake special shock towers. Turns out they weren’t built for shocks with resi’s

 

Bushings in the old leaf springs

 

My Dakars looked the same when I replaced them with Deavers.

 

Hey man, stumbled across this thread doing some research for my own setup. Couple questions- is that the timbren bumpstop? What flip kit? and also, what length shock (both for the Foxs or the old bilstiens? I'm doing a similar setup except DRT hangers and DRT relo kit instead of the Archive. Planning on a Bilstien 5165 but deciding on shock length/bump combo. Paired with Icon RXT 600lb leaf pack. Do you have limit straps as well? Thanks for any and all help
