Rebuilding some shocks

 

is your truck done yet?

 

yeah, kellen is a cool dude. i meet him before. so lucky to be working for king and his truck is tits. i love built silverados...almost more then built tacomas

 

Order them from TC, they will be more expensive but its better because you get your name on their list, they wont sell replacement parts unless you send in pictures of your parts but once your listed you can get whatever you want.

 

Just curious as to whether or not you LT guys have your rear axles trussed ?? & if not, why not ??

 

Blasphemy

 

I believe they are 15 inch ill double check tonight

 

why not?

 

picture fail....damn

 

the links that attach to the top of the differential apply a good amount of force that could potentially bend the axle housing. with leafs being so close to the tires, there is very little bending moment being applied to the axle.

 

tyler knows... he's being a smart ass

his truck is leaf sprung and his axle is trussed... because he's cool like that

oh hah, i didn't notice he was asking and not 4WD.

 

TC Yota is that you in your avatar? where are some pics!? none in your gallery. .

 

The upper links have nothing to do with bending the axle, they are normally mounted close to center on the axle. The lowers are what would bend it, which is the same place that the springs mount to, so not sure what you're saying?
And also, I've seen alot of axles bent forward, which has nothing to do with links vs leafs
No matter what, if you plan on beating on it hard, you should truss it

 

essentially trying to say that with leafs, there is nothing aplying force (front to back) at the center or the axle.
