Damn she's tall

 

What size coilovers are you using? Also it looks like its really high. How much does it take to jack the front tires off the ground?

 

Coilovers are just 8s.

Takes a standard floor jack +8" to get tires off

Ya she sits way too high, hence the fitting change so I can pull rude height out

 

Time to get this back together. Finally fixed the fitting that hits the coil nut

 

One side ready for reinstall. This is way easier than I thought it would be

 

Side one done

 

And side two



Hoping I set preload correct so it sits even

 

Little lower, without going to a lighter spring I don't think it's coming down any further as there's no preload

 

What Springs are you running

 

300-18-600

EDIT: If they dont settle down a bit I might look into getting some 550lb coils

 

Opinion needed:

Option A -
Supercharger and fuel mods

Option B -
Currie 9" using current rear suspension

Option C -
Deaver H70 and 18" Shocks

All will happen in time, but can only afford to do one right now.
looking for which to do first as all are nominally the same cost

 

C

 

C

 

Front doesnt seem to want to come down so I've ordered some 500lb coils, should lower the front an inch or so if math serves me correctly

BUT, it's time to start ordering parts again:

Deaver H70s
Front spring hangars
12" Shackles
4" Bumps
18" Smoothie shocks
Axle Side shock mounts

Anything I'm forgetting that will stop me dead in my tracks?

 

Have you seen the giant 64" kit?

 

Yes, but a wider axle is needed to install it and I havent been able to track one down cheaper than about $750, but might be worth getting sooner than later

 

oops

 

The giant 64" is way better than the 62" kits IMO. It's just a much better design.

 

That's what I'll be going with; as drunk me ordered a tundra rear end last night
