My lift progress with photos

you ever get the kings to fit brody? if not, sell em to me haha

 

Nawww I still plan too just got alittle sidetracked

 

suddenly following...

 

Wtf?? Cant wait to see this

 

The splines where the same but the length of the axle shafts were not.

When I bought the Kings they came with an adapter for regular tacomas but the holes were sized just enough for them to bolt into mine. The shock was too long and needs the shorter rod end as well as possibly a flat spring perch. This wouldn't be possible unless I had better upper control arms to clear. I have the shorter rod ends but I'm currently working on finishing up all the little details with the turbo.

 

I had/still have a set of spring perches but at the time I didn't have the means to get them welded. BTW I didn't transfer the 3rd member. I unbolted my 5 lug axle and leafs and swapped them with a complete 6 lug e-locker axle and spring over leafs. So 6 lug rear and 5 lug front (until i make a set of spindles)

As for the shocks I'm going mid travel and as nice as the shocks are they are not king 2.5's with remote reservoirs.

 

That's cool and all but I already bought the Kings and they were pretty cheap used. Eventually I'll redo the rear shocks with Kings as well but I'm waiting on that because I'm going to put the shocks through the bed.

 

So I haven't posted in this thread in a while. I'm still running the same suspension as the end of the op. It runs great and is lots on fun on and off road. The turbo was also fun but in my learning and getting it dialed in I hurt my engine. I'm pretty sure there something going on in the head and decided instead of rebuilding a 4 cly why not add 4 more.

I'll be going from this


To this



I would like to keep this thread more based around suspension so I made a new thread covering the 1uzfe swap
