Idaho BS thread in the PNW

TSB 4 leaf factory pack with a 1.5" AAL...

I want that defined engineering SUA kit so bad!!

 

more uptravel for less clearance
are you going lt?

 

SUA is where it's at man-

 

Yeah! and the defined kit shouldn't affect clearance too badly. It still uses the factory hangers so it has a pretty steep arch to it actually.

Yeah I want to LT my rig now, but without going into the bed too much. I want to run some shock hoops up into the fenders and then maybe a brace bar across them. I would run the defined shock hoop kit but the brace across the hoops runs too high and I would have to get rid of my toolbox, which I don't want to do.

 

How come you never linked the rear? Was there no point since it out performs the front as is?

 

Get the built right shock mounts.

 

Yeah and links are sketchy on the street. I can't bottom out either end of the truck so it's a moot point.

I see. I was out testing something for another thread earlier and I can hit speeds bumps around here hard and not bottom out my front end or the rear. As for whoops and jumping though... They can be a bit rough...

This is me going up hill and I hit a small whoop going 40+mph, front absorbed it just fine but the rear bucked up hard.


Are you still using the factory shackle hangers in the back or did you do a shackle flip? I was thinking about getting the ATO shackle flip and a longer shackle but I can already overextend my rear shocks and I don't want to buy any shocks until I have new leafs and shock hoops.

 

My toolbox sits right on top of my fenderwells, so that would cause the same issue. Damn short bed. haha

 

Won't be able to not get new shocks without the shackle flip. Adds a ton of droop.

 

Sell it and get a different one.

 

If it wasn't a Toyota brand one, I would. Plus I bent the bottom up a bit from jumping it with chains and a hi-lift in it.


This is the defined kit. With my body lift I could possibly run the hoops and just mount the crossbar lower maybe.

 

Nah the crossmember is up there for a reason haha gonna have to be basically that. If it's not mounted at the top then too much flew is induced I'd think.

 

I'm using TC 12" shackles.

 

I was thinking maybe put two bars across it. I doubt it would be much lower. haha Not even sure I can clear the toolbox with the hoops anyway...

 

Whoa! Your shackle is mounted on top of the frame.

 

that's how it's supposed to be

otherwise....you end up with really fucked up geometry

 

Lol yea..what all LT rigs are. You got a lot of reading to d Brady haha
