    But flex bro! Got a better/different idea?

    Honestly I haven't thought that far. Keeping IFS until after I graduate though.
    Maybe I shouldn't get a front airlocker then... hmm.


    Here is his build thread. http://www.akoffroad.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5 He lives close to my house and I love looking at his collection of Yota's. 2nd gen street Tundra, prerunner, and a crawler of a pretaco

    You plan on building shock towers or re mounting them angled? You are gonna be maxing out shocks way before you need longer leafs

    Yep. I was thinking of keeping the | | rather than a pure rock crawler /\

    and obviously I ditch the spare at this point, just keep it in the bed I guess.

    Hopefully with something like this BAMF kit, even if I just make a cross member to mount them to

    And yeah, I did. I'll hopefully be getting some longer shocks soonish. The crossmember I made is great, but instill think the cheap 5100s are limiting my droop

    If you want to keep the shocks like ||, I don't think you have room for a 12" stroke shock unless you go with a short body. Plus, when you move the shocks closer the the center of the axle, you can get the same flex with a shorter shock.

    Unless you have longer shackles or a super flex leaf pack, you really done need to relocate the shocks though. But if you're gonna do a 63 swap, go for it.
