JD's '02 Tacoma Build

agreed!

you should do duals, the weight is worth it. and its nice piece of mind if you blow a tire you will still be okay if you get another flat!

or wheel like a beast and you might need 2 spares if you do something stupid! haha

i do agree though

 

if he uses the majic 52.5" number his truck will sit higher because he will have a different shackle angle than what i'm running. plus not having 2 spares hanging off the back end will make a big difference in not dropping the ride height

 

^Thanks. I forgot if it was 52.5" or 51.5" and I have it saved on TTORA but they wont let me log in

 

be sure to check before you start...lol

i always get it mixed up too, i'm pretty damn sure it's 52.5 though

 

This guy has some 18" shocks headed his way

 

ohh lala

jd are you going to mount them straight up or angled?

 

you talking about the shocks? they need to be run at a slight angle (i forget what that is) in order for them to cycle properly. straight up is a no go

 

Not sure yet, I want to put them as close to straight as possible. But if I do them perfectly straight I wont be able to switch out for a 16" triple later. I think that will be a decision made at point of mock up

 

why wont it cycle properly straight up?

yeah thats a good idea!

arent your shocks mounted straight up?

 

i was just now looking for that thread. mine's not set up at 52.5 either... but it's not as off as your set up is

 

Perfect, thanks

 

nice yellow shocks! who needs kings when you have those!?!?! haha

 

Those are survival shocks. If you break down you can remove and cook food on them. They get up to sizzling operating temp in just a mile or two of rough stuff

 

Awwww yeah!!!

 

..... and I'm spent

 

Looks good, but might just be the picture, but the shackles look to be pretty vertical
