AZ BS Thread 2.0

x2

but not all people are mechanical types

 

True that!

 

cv boots are pretty simple on most cars and trucks.

on a side note- why is there no az snowboarding thread yet?!!??

 

Have they even opened up the parks yet?

 

Sunrise Ski Resort:


Snowbowl on 11/11/12 (I bet some of this has melted by now):

 

probably not,but im impatient as fuck- i went for my first time last year and now im like a crack addict. ive thought about flyin somewhere thats open for a weekend - perks of free flights-

 

Question:

I have the rear leaf TSB and want to level the front end, but I'm kinda lost on what to do.


Toyotec said 2.5inch spacer to make it level.

Others say 5100's set to 1.75 to make it level. (is that in inches)

opinions, thoughts?

 

There is. I started it over a year ago. Lol

Since then.. a few of us here have made some group trips. Have been real fun.

I'm waiting for snow bowl to open. They are making snow this year. Their goal was to open before Xmas. Idk about that one. I will be making atleast one trip to Big Bear this year as well.

 

Big Bear is fun. I'd be down for that.

 

Its my favorite place to ride. Mostly because the entire run is park.

 

I live 30 miles from sunrise. Its fucking cold but sunny skies. We are getting around 4 inches on Thursday which hopefully will be closer to a foot on the hill! I would bet the first weekend in january they open! Im doing a naked snow dance every night haha

 

Where where these dance skills when we went to mt. Lemon?!?

 

I think the 2.5" spacer is what you need.. but I could be wrong.

 

1.75 = 1 3/4 inches is good to get it leveled. Possibly some rake

Avoid blocks.

 

Will that be too low still tho since he has the tab leaf? And the toytec is a normal spacer right? I mean.. Colby's truck rarely see's dirt road.. Lol. The spacer would be best wouldn't it? Maintains stock suspension.

 

So why do you think Toyotech said 2.5 spacers?


And that's another debate..

Spacers vs 5100's.. From the posts I find, its 50/50


Also I do not want ANY bro lean at all. I'd rather leave it looking like a dragster vs. a bro lean.

EDIT:

Josh is right, I don't see much dirt.. And the dirt I see is very, very basic. This is just for looks.

 

true, the inner cvs are harder to replace, the outer boots are easy as cake.

id probably do 2.5 since you have the tsb. personally, id do the billy 5100s set at 2.5. i wouldnt recomment spacers.

 

That's a lot of pre load tho on those billies.

 

id rather have more preload then run a spacer which can cause your shock to bottom out before your bump stops hit, and you "could" break your shock.
i know you dont off road, but just speed bumps might be able to bottom out the shock... better safe than sorry.

 

Really doubt Colby will be bottoming out his truck. Lol
