    Ahh I guess not having what you need to do it yourself would make rebuilding kind of complicated. I found a spring place nearby so I'm going to buy new individual leafs. They offered to cut them to length for free!

    Yeah, it would be lot less of a hassle to just get a new set. I just can't decide on what to get haha

    I was going to do Dakars or All Pro standards before I decided to rebuild mine.

    I did a ton of research a while back but I have forgot most haha. I found a common complaint with the dakars was squeaking. Couldn't really find any negatives about the all pros that I can remember. Can't remember the price difference either.

    Hmm okay I have most of my lift components but am deciding wether I should go 32's or 33's in the dynapro mt. I have 3.58 gears so yeah I won't have money to change them out for 4.10's or 4.58's any time soon.

    The Dakars are about $15 more before shipping. The only thing that worries me is the AllPro's being too soft and not carrying a load at all.

    I was in the same spot too. I am going 33's bc if I go 32's I know I'll wish I would have just got what I wanted. I don't think there would be a huge difference is weight between the 2 either. It's your truck though, do what YOU want :D

    Wheeler's five pack leaf springs, Bilstein 5100s (rear), front tint, windshield top tint, Century Camper Shell/Cap/Topper, Wade window visors, Wade bug shield, cassette adaptor (so I can play Slacker Radio via my phone!), Sunday Blues with Dar sticker, Wounded Warrior Project sticker, no NRA sticker 'cause I don't wanna advertise ;-)
    I put the Wheeler's five pack on my PreRunner...along with Bilstein 5100s. Of course, I don't have 4WD and don't plan on leaving pavement, except for some dirt or fire roads. But I did want enough spring to handle some camping gear and a topper in the back. I didn't do any brake or exhaust modification though, that's why I had asked if you had. I will be doing the front suspension soon enough, so I wonder if once it's leveled off (since right now, it's got the rear higher with the new suspension and no topper), would the modifications still need to be done?

    I'd recommend the bpv bracket. Only about $15 and you're brakes will work better. Plus if you don't, your rotors will wear out sooner because your front brakes will be working harder without it.

    Apparently it was a bad idea to post my build on Pirate4x4... I guess if you don't SAS it or don't have pics of it getting beat up you aren't welcome. :rolleyes:

    Oh yeah, definitely!

    I'm still ticked off that I can't post on TTORA after a month of registering...

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    Yeah man i seen that :eek: they are brutal over there even my build went to shit for about the first 5 pages over there and i'm putting 10,000 axles under my truck. They are very set their ways over there and if your not hard core hillbilly or have a 4 link your dumb. And TTORA is dead so your not missing anything. I would stick to TW its by far the most active Toyota site.

    I just google search Pirate as a guest and feel on edge. I don't like it over there, but there are some nice rigs to look at. Stuff I would never need or do, though.
