    Hard to believe you managed to cram driveshafts through the front suspension.

    Amazing. Looking forward to updates.
    Edit: hopefully these clients in the jungle are legit as well right? ;)

    Wont be reliable in hostile terrain. Turbos and very hot Supercharged engines will fail when suddenly dunked in muddy Jungle pools and mud.

    Is this at ride height? Looks like your rocking some stink bug (not a bad thing!). Is this defined leaf pack the one with the added leaf or is this one of the older leaf packs?

    Could you please also measure the distance from center hub to bottom of bedside for a reference for me later?

    Thanks

    I understand that but the older pack had 1 less leaf. His new packs that ship out are 1 added leaf.

    The trucks rocking stink bug! Never heard that phrase? When the back end is higher than the front??

    In any case the truck looks stupid awesome! Im jelly! Enjoy it! And thanks for the help in the future!

    Thats ride height empty.When trucks go into interior they have to carry fuel, iceboxes, extra spare, coolers with food. Without the shackle flip it looks like a dog with worms with load in bed!!!

    Try these with normal spring mounting. I am building an 05 with OME HD leaf pack and mounted these Timbren SES Rubber springs on upper bumpstop strike plate to keep hole pointing down. The kit wants them mounted on spring plate with hole upwards to trap dirt!!! Lol

    Full compression with empty bed..timbren will crush to 2 inches with full crush..they give a supurb cushion on bottom out.

    i just very recently removed my timbrens..the rebound and bucking that was associated with them got to be too much for me...scary:eek: plus, they took away almost 2" of total up travel. i will be adding hydraulic bumps soon.

    the timbrens were great for towing! :thumbsup:..

    I got about 4 inches before they hit so normal driving its not a problem. The 05 Taco will be fetching loads in rough roads so like your towing it suppliments the severe bottoming out. What type shocks are you using in rear?
    The fox shocks i have there are 10 inch stroke ..Fj Cruiser rear shocks.
