PNGO121 OFFROAD BUILD

Thanks man! its only suppose to be 1.5" but i got 2.25".

 

How's the ride quality? How level is your stance? Lol sorry for all the questions.

 

its currently dead on even. i need to lower the front a bit when i have time. since i upgraded the springs to 700lbs it rides a bit stiff but ill be adding a winch and skid plates later down the line so thatll help. no worries at all. ask if you need and ill try to help you best i can.

 

Does the exhaust chop sounds any different? Just for clearence right?

 

Yeah. Tires kick it bunch of dirt and stuff on it also so that's y I did the chop.

 

Did you cut it yourself? If so, how? Just and angle grinder with a cut off wheel? Take it off to do it or cut in place? Thanks.

 

Sawzall for me.

 

Where you pick up your FOX suspension from? It's about $1200 for 1 coilover correct? I'm not sure if I can chop my 37k truck to accommodate bigger wheels

 

I bought the

I bought the fox ultimate lift kit on toyteclifts.com. There's not much you really have to chop. You'll only have a trim some depending on the offset of wheels.

 

I got same set up Im running 295/70R/17 we had to crank down on the Coilovers to get them in there. The ride is stiff but it is level and like you said it lifted the rear up a lot more than planned.

 

That's way too much. Maximum recommended by Fox I believe is 1.75" or 2" of preload or you'll cause binding of the coils. You'll probably need to upgrade to a longer spring to decrease the preload.

 

I was thinking it was a little to much so my Mechanic went a little to far to try and level trk. When my new hub bearings get in guess we will be lowering it down a bit.

 

Oh is this on a 2nd gen?

 

Hows the windshield tint treating you?

 

70% is perfect. I have 50% on my Lexus and I feel it gets too dark in non lite roads so objects will appear last second.

 

You upgraded wheels to T4R?

 

Yeah I'm currently running the T4R Pro wheels.

 

I'll take your SR8

 

I have consider it but don't want any trouble from the law since my front windows are already tinted; it'll probably be more noticeable. Have you worn polarized sunglasses when driving? My tinted pass and driver windows looks like a giant rainbow when viewed though polarized sunglasses.
