Your gonna tundra axle right? Curious how it looks on the truck

 

Driver side installed. Bed should go back on the truck tomorrow and then work on getting the tailights fitted

 

Yes, it's still sitting on jack stands

 

This is amazing man! I'm really looking into working on my truck later in the future to converting it into a complete long travel beast! It's amazing to see the progress of someone else truck. You have done quite a lot to your truck man! Really impressed!

 

More stuff

 

Started work on some sub frame tubing that will be used to mount a front bumper, rear suspension is on hold due for a few more weeks

 

The rear install begins

 

If you're still working on it Thanksgiving week I'd like to check it out if you're available to meet!

 

One side mocked up

 

Total for the day: 3/4 brackets mocked in. Might be under its own weight tomorrow.

 

Why did you mount the leafs on the outside of the frame?

 

Drunk ordering doesn’t have shit on ordering while on ambien. Get home walk up and see a package on door step, at that moment suddenly realize.....
By the way nice build.

 

The kit is a Ranger kit that works for our trucks with a wider axle. It aids in better cornering, handling at speed, and frees up space in the bed. The Tundra axle provides the extra width to fit shocks and springs outside of the frame.

 

Ok I never thought about putting the spring outside the frame for that reason. I mostly see the shackles mounted on top of the frame n wheel spacers to mount the shocks outside. Thanks for the info

 

Its how the kit is designed. switched the compression shackle for a tension shackle. this allows more spring arch with out lifting the rear crazy high.

Correct it was designed for a ford where this is the stock style set up. i doubt its going to free up bed space, the shackles contact the bed floor so the bed isnt going back on. Instead ill be doing aluminum fill panels like on a frontier i saw on dezert rangers

 

Looking at the other guy's truck that has this kit I noticed that he had some holes cut out that probably allowed the shackles to pass up through the bed - good to know!
