Give valley tire a try. Not sure if they do that kind of work, but the owner has a race truck and they sell a lot of offroad stuff.

 

Hah, I broke both rear leafs on mine back in June (actually, I think I did it much earlier working up North). Only had a few days off work, so had to put in factory replacements just to get it done and head right back out. Really would have preferred using it as an excuse for upgrades if I didn't have a contract lined up immediately.

Ah well, maybe this fall.

 

I broke one last week and decided it was time to bite the bullet haha, I broke another one two days ago and I had to hammer down and get the thing ordered before the rest of them break lol. Just waiting for the payment to go through then its on its way!!! shitty thing is I still have the stock tires on it.. So it might look a like its got little tiny tires. They have too much tread on them for me to justify tossing them just yet. Plus I just dropped a shit ton on this lift lol. Next spring I plan on investing in some 255/85/16's.

On the plus side, the truck sits level now!

 

What did you get?

 

If you are looking at bolstering your factory leafs the timbren ses HD bumpstops are pretty awesome. They only affect the ride if you are 'under load'. I have a slide-in truck camper in my rig most of the time and it keeps it from sagging.

Only around 100 bucks and it took me 15 mins to install myself. great addition.

 

OME 885 coils with 90000 struts up front with LR UCS's and Dakar's with OME shocks in the back, and extended brake lines. She said it should be here in 10-14 days. So, say 3 weeks to a month!

I have absolutely no luck with the factory leafs! This was also a good time for me to say "well, looks like I need a lift now!" muahaha

 

I wish I had that time. When I realized mine were toast, I decided to use it as an excuse to completely re-do my suspension and go mid-travel. The day I started shopping around, my main Client calls me and says "I need you up north by the end of the week". It was Wednesday. SO I went from "will this setup let me park in my garage still?" to "holy shit, whats the absolute soonest this can be fixed somehow!?" within a few hours haha.

Maybe the stock tires will make the lift look even bigger haha...

 

That's true!! And that's also what I hate about only having one car.. It sucks. If I can't drive it I don't get to work, if I don't get to work I don't get to fix it! It's a vicious circle of hate. Also the reason why the body work on my Celica was so terrible.

Regardless of how silly or how tall it looks, it's in the process of becoming awesomer (cause tacos are already awesome as hell), and I'll just have to deal!

 

Should be pretty slick!

 

Just got the shipping confirmation! It "leaves" tomorrow!!

 

Where did you get it from?

 

Headstrong offroad!

 

ETA Thursday! Who knows though... Probably won't be here for another 4 Thursdays..

 

Thanks K Strong

 

Your ranger buddy is in serious trouble now.

 

Lmao yeah! He wants to lift the front end of his truck before he goes out again. Makes sense hahah

 

Be a a good idea. Or remove the lower portion of his bumper.

That lift arrives tomorrow? So it should be ready for wheeling on Sunday? Haha

 

It got delayed until Tuesday the second something to do with paperwork, back on route now though! Should be good next weekend!

 

Oh I just checked tracking and it should be here Friday!! Good thing I'm on nights this week, so I'll be home all day to get it! Muahhaha

 

Post hoe today...

But anyone wanna hit up the pipeline this weekend or next? depending on when I get my lift in and get to putt around on it a bit.

I also wanna check out that trail the guy in the Jeep was talking about, but I can't remember where he said it was or what he called it.. I'll ask Brandon if he remembers, but I doubt it.
