Donahue racing suspension questions

awesome,ill look into them
edit looked them up, this would give me that u bolt flip at the same time too

 

haha everywhere is south(I live in reno) I'm sure theres some up here I just have to google it

 

That is correct and also rear they make a kit where you can use stock ubolt style.

 

I'm planning on getting a different leaf pack, will this generaly work with most of them?

 

$270 Timbren TORTUN4 Suspension Enhancement System

https://www.amazon.com/Timbren-TORTUN4-Suspension-Enhancement-System/dp/B001TNBTJI

Yeah it will work I bought off Amazon .
But allpro sells the allpro flip kit with timberns aswell.

 

14" King. I believe it's around a 3" lift.

23.5" from center of hub to fender.

 

just to update the thread I measured some stuff, hub to fender: 23 1/2" (both sides), open thread space: 2 1/4" driver side, 2 3/8" passenger, spring vin number: DR 158504 B, shock vin: 009560 (this # was on the top head of it facing the front of the car, on the side it said "DR" then on the back of the shock it said "2.5"

I read somewhere that the spring for these is 13" #650 but couldn't find if the inside diameter is 3" or 2.5" i've herd both or are they the same thing? I just want to avoid ordering the wrong part, and would it be smart to go down to #600 or will the 14" help with that.
Also good news, found out I already have the sway bar relocation
decided to hold off on new bump stops..

so far my list is:

• 600# 14" 2.5" coils= ?
• suspension rebuild= ?
• upper control arms= JBA UCA's or tuff country ($270) ( https://www.suspensionconnection.com/50935-tacoma-arms.html ) ( http://tacoma-upper-control-arms.co...r-upper-a-arms-for-2005-14-toyota-tacoma.html )
• extended brake lines= performance +4" brake lines ($60) ( )
• paint inner fender, mold fender liner= these look neat ($30) ( https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/splash-guards-precut.477766/ )
• new leaf pack(dakars maybe)= Dakars ( )
• u bolt flip= u bolt flip( )
• CV's boots= ?

any suggestions on the list/ places to get them cheaper or know of any 2nd hand sellers? thanks! bout to say bye to some cheese haha

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road ive heard a lot of good things about your knowledge of suspension, could you have some possible info that I'm not covering? If not no worries just trying to hit all my bases!

 

I just looked at your pictures and your rears look like the first version of remote reservoir shocks that they made which used weird internals that I doubt most shops have or can source. I'm sure someone out there can handle them but I'd make certain that they understand what you are bringing to them before they start tearing stuff apart.

You've been given some good suggestions for rebuild shops but I'd also suggest Matt @M C M in Nevada, or Micah @Downsouth Motorsports in California. Both very sharp people who are well known to be stand up guys that can help you out with sales and service.

 

Awesome thank you for the advice!
I reasearched as much as I possibly could on the rear shock from other forums, but most said that they were designed for 2 to 4 or 5" lifts if I remember. I'm purchasing a used all pro leaf pack that was said to give me 3" lift, I should be ok right?

 

Most likely that combination wouldn't cause any problems but before you spend the money I'd measure the static, compressed, and extended while installed and then pull at least one of the rears off and measure static, compressed, and extended in case you do have a longer rear shock than you think.

Hope that you find success in your upgrades and you get to continue to use what you have.

 

I'm getting a pretty good deals on all pro this weekend, it is there standard leaf pack, but thanks for the kind words!
I'm stoked I have good suspension I just want to make sure it's 100% solid for the long run you know? I like stuff done right

Also is there a good thread on installing extended brake lines?

 

Quite certain there is. One fella even has a deal where he has custom length lines made to order in the group buy section. I bought a set from him and have had no issues.
