New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

What @Chasespeed said. 1/4" at the top = 1/2" total yield. In all honestly though, regarding the "lean" I have had so much more positive results with the wheelers offroad 1/2" block for the rear leaf then the 1/4" spacer in front. The spacer never really did anything for me but the wheelers block got rid of my entire lean.

 

I'll have to look into it. The rears are getting attention next. I think these dakar leafs are getting tossed as soon as possible. Great for when the whole bed is loaded up. But anything besides that, might as well have an Ibeam back there. Haha

 

Go with the ICON Leafs, you will be glad you did. I had the Dakar Meds, then moved to the Dakar Heavy, then moved to the ICONs, I love them. Those plus the 1/2" block are fantastic. Not to mention that they are modular.

 

Yeah that certainly an option on the table. I'll have to see what my money situation is this fall. But top two priorities after this rebuild is the lead pack, and trying to stuffen up the rear end just a little more... Which we all know what that means.

 

Aye, better than it was before

 

Bad news is one of me resi must have fallen victim to a log spearing it on a trip. Deformed under the sticker. Probably enough that it's keeping the resi piston from moving.

So $200 for new resi bodies, $200 for new hoses. Lol. It'll be wrapped up some day.

 

...We gotta put the takeoffs into the little tikes car

"My truck is done" has been said many a times, by many people.

It's always been a lie.

 

Those takeoffs were sold circa 2017 lol

 

@CTSpruceMica , found the 4wd switch backlight! I’ll bring it this weekend.




Anyone need a Lexus front diff drain plug? I ordered this off eBay and didn’t realize it was from Japan so it took a while to get here and I got another in the meantime. $15

 

I forgot how undersized JBA UCA come. That was a battle. Including dropping the swaybar so I can drill out the frozen swaybar links.

Been a day.

 

What’s a sway bar?

 

Wondering if I might delete mine this weekend lol

 

I think with a better tune for the valve in the shocks I'd probably be not noticed as much of a difference, but I'm way faster with the sway bar on.

 

Just don't take corners too fast or you will lean like crazy...

 

I can't help it!

 

Without the sway bar I bet you can! That first off-ramp you might soil yourself.

 

Lol. Just crank up the low speed compression adjusters....

 

I ain't that fancy.... 6112s

 

I found that stiffer coils (650lbs) makes a huge difference with no swaybar, enough that with my truck/skill/environment I'm fine without it, but I am absolutely not someone who would call them "unnecessary" or "lawyer mods".
