Anthony's 99 Tacoma

This is how mine are, very close to the Total Chaos shock mounts

 

hows it working for u so far? cause if i do that, then the shock hoops may not be needed

 

Pretty good, they are beefy and you would have a hard time breaking them

 

do you factor in that extra leverage when valving? I bet the shock get hot faster like that, or I may be wrong

 

Dont think so, a shock works best i think at a 1:1 ratio,

 

ya hmmm maybee i shall do this instead. ill take some measurements tomorow and see if this will pass the test

 

im saying how its extended from the axle, when the axle twists thru the cycle, the twisting will be magnified thru the leverage of that shock mount.

 

ahh i see, not sure.

 

I havent valved them yet but thats a good question. I bought them from DTF and they were valved for the truck he had them on. They seem pretty close, no bucking or anything through some pretty deep whoops, but I am definitely going to valve them down the road. They do get hotter than the fronts but on a similar length run with Paden they were about the same temp as his rear triples

 

i would think that it should follow the same path as it would if it were close to the axle.

 

Rear suspension,


Bumpstops will be installed later in the week.

 

nice what angle did the shocks end up mounted at?

 

damm looks great! i need to hurry up and get mine done!

 

About 12 degrees i think. Ill find out after, too lazy to check hah.

bottle jack I think, and a piece of wood

 

Like BlackHawke88 Said A Bottle jack with a piece of 2x4" to increase the area to push.
First you unbolt the small bolt under the bed in front of the axle thats held to the bed by sort of triangular looking thin metal brace. Then Pull the inner fender clips out carefully, you will see a thin metal piece in the center of bedside inside on top in line with the axle , cut a line in that so the besides can extend further out. And Pull the gas cap off, and start pulling either by hands or by jack. If you need pics i can get some pics, i went off this vid,
