Kinda sorta lol. The front is Total Chaos Long Travel. The rear is just a Progressive AAL on my shot stock leaf pack lol with extended Bilstens. I know it's a band aid on the problem, but it's temporary. I have Long Travel leaf spring, new hangers, shackles, shock mount tabs and a few other things from DMZ in my garage (I should probably check what I bought I can't even remember). I need to buy new spring perches, metal for my bed cage, bypasses and find a driveshaft shop. Slowly buying parts. Then when I have time I'll LT the rear.

 

Looks like I'm going to be installing my lift this friday.
I was thinking i can go with 5100's with 885's, but I was looking around and saw that it'll give me 2.5" lift in the front, and I thought shit... Bro lean. I don't want that, so I guess I'm going to have to get an AAL too.

Do any of you guys know somewhere local where i can get an AAL?
Doesn't have to be anything super fancy, cause this is going to be semi temporary, but I do want an AAL, Im not going to put a block on.

Any tips or suggestions?

UCA's are somewhere next on my list, then better rear shocks and leaf pack and hopefully by next year Ill be mid travel.
Sliders were put on last friday, Im thinking about getting skids next, not sure yet though.

 

Headstrong Offroad offers a few... Or downsouth motor sports... Both not to far away and they could ship them daily quickly.

 

Do you know where Headstrong is? And if id be able to pick up from them instead of having it shipped?

 

Riverside. But they may do will call pick up.

 

Yea man, it's a process. Unless, you have unlimited funds. I think eventually I'll do the opposite of your build. My front is pretty much set after I bypasses. Next year I wanna do a SUA conversion and I'd probably LT the rear first.

You doing all the fab work yourself?

 

popping in to sub since i am in Carson and Torrance a lot on weekends...

 

Yeah, I wish I had unlimited funds and time lol. My I was going to do the rear first, but I found a used front Total Chaos LT kit here for $2,000 with everything including coilovers about two weeks after I bought my Tacoma. So I bought it and bought some fiberglass and installed it the next month lol.

Yup. Well me and my friend we take turns on welding, cutting, grinding ect. We both are still learning.

 

Does anyone have a stock receiver for towing to sell or lend out. Just need something while I wait for my Pelfry High Clearance. Oh yeah finally sold my Relentless Rear Bumper. But there's an 8 week lead time for the build.

 

You just need the shackle that goes in the tow hitch? I have one you can borrow, if that's what you're talking about.

 

I think he is talking about the actual tow hitch
