If you’re going leaf springs look at dmz or possibly Camburg

 

A leaf pack designed for tacomas, not a half ton chevy

 

I stated before I was going dmz I talked to Tim directly and he set me up. Maybe I could have gotten my number mixed up @glorifiedwelder

 

Then your set. Just add 4.25” to each side of your new axle get some +6 or 7” rear glass and you’re done

 

@Crash721
I would just go with the whole dmz kit in the rear.
Ask Tim what he thinks about width.
I planned on 70” wms rear axle
But ran out of money.
I have +3.5 up front

 

I have the DMZ kit in the rear, fucking tits along with a 3.5 TC kit on front. Think there are 1.5" spacers on rear. Looks super clean IMO.

 

Yupppp

 

That's the same number I came up with to for my rear wms to eliminate spacers and clear all the shocks and such

Doing a Currie full floater rear on mine real soon, just got transport arranged

 

They don't have to drive on the pavement so they don't have to worry about turning, parking, highway driving, city driving, etc etc

All things that we do have to do
Which is why the rear is always slightly more narrow

 

Phillip! Where you been mobbin around at? Havnt seen ya in a minute on here.

 

Damn. All the good shit is south.

No its 65.

Lol

 

Looks like rocks started carrying.

 

Im on here almost errday! Just on az classifieds for the most parts. Just picked up some bypasses today for my rear from TW member. what's new with you?

 

Ah I figured you were on most days. I’m just getting my cash ready to dmz the rear on my rig. MT ass is no bueno compared to the front. Looking forward to be a legit guy soon. Got any projects going on for your ride? I thought I remembered you saying you might go the xlt route?

 

Yeah man was wanting too for a while on my old truck but got the red one now with a TC kit on it. Just bought max trac spindles for it so ill be content with the front when i get 2nd shock hoop and bypass for it. Good enough for me (for now). So yeah. bypasses, spindles, paint soon is whats next for my truck. You will love the dmz kit man.

 

I agree with ya man, that’s a solid set up...I need to get my front bypasses on too. I got a buddy who I go to help weld on stuff, but he has had a busy schedule lately. I’m hoping the kit lives up to the hype although I have to say I am very impressed with the quality of it. Do you have the dmz kit in your rear?

 

Close enough. That's why I said it's around 66"; not that it is 66". (Basic reading comprehension is key.) If you google for the length, there is no definitive WMS measurement. You'll find measurements from 65-67 inches. I think @jberry813 posted in his Curry axle thread that his stock axle measured 65.5" or 66.5" (not going to go look it up again). If someone really wanted to know what their WMS is, they'd measure it themselves. It isn't hard. If you know your wheel backspacing, you don't even have to jack up the truck. Just measure the distance between the lip of the back wheels and add 2x the backspacing of your wheels. If you won't know your backspacing, pull a wheel, throw a level across the lip and measure down to the mounting surface.

 

If you’re basing your WMS-WMS width on what BJ Baldwin and the pros do, why are you considering leaf springs?

 

If you want new leafs that just bolt in why don’t you call Deaver or a spring manufacture and get something custom
