ok guys anyone running over the frame shackles on a spring over setup? Will there be the same benefits from spring underand over frame shackles? My bypasses will be here wednesday and I need to decide what my final setup is going to be.

 

I think Zach (04LTacoma) can't remember I know he's running 10" SAW, might wanna check out his build thread.

As far as the benefits of a SOA w/ Shackle mounted above the frame there could be a few. Definitely achieve more droop out of it, don't think you'd gain much up travel tho. What Leaf pack are you going to be running?

 

Would just be the J59's I have now. I think Zach is just longer shackles in stock config.

 

"....then the "J" arm is the only way to get the wishbone long enough for the desired amount of travel so that the wheel does not go through dramatic camber changes with out pushing the motor way back in the chassis. The only way to build a TT style truck with a traditional "A" arm is if you build it with the motor between the driver/passenger or to build it mid-engine."

Well I can't see there being a down side, as long as you line up all the measurements. I think a 9" shackle would be better suited as well (12" would be too long I'd think)

 

thanks mark!! favorite "j"arm setup... the herbst shark.. those arms are crazy.. last time i saw it was in chula vista in 05 at the corr race..badass side note.. how are those brackets that tim made for you holding up?? do they rattle a bunch? gettin ready to tear into my truck again and jack mount,air, is on the list .. still looking at ideas.. always been a fan of yours for sure..

 

Wellp team sharkattacks tacoma went end over end earlier today at RATR. Dont know the full story I'm sure mike(defined) can chime in when he gets the chance seen him out here a few time just havnt got the chance to say hi.

 

oh shit! how did you hear about that, or are you there?

 

Wow, that sucks! Hope everyone is okay!

 

I'm here ahhaah truck is still sitting on the side of the track about 500yds from start finish.

 

shitty. that's a killer truck too...

 

think i can pull off red seats?

 

Little more black, and then they'd fit nice

Buddy of mine has blue sparco's in his 92' pickup (painted SWB) and it looks pretty good!

 

Hopefully they will fade to pink for you

 

haha... i dont have pink letters on my tires anymore. took them bitches off

 

Let me guess you have not put the fenders back on.
