Well I gotta say my packing and offroading skills have improved greatly!

Went to Lake Arrowhead for an overnight trip and my wife stuck me with a lot to pack.

Offroading I did a 3wheel.

Happy New Year everyone!

 

Tested out these tire deflators.. Thumbs up!

 

I sold the Gatortrax bed cover after having to do Tetris packing. I loved that cover but it was apparent I needed more room. Stay tuned to what I get next.

 

My guess is softopper

 

correct guess...then found a hard topper. pics n video soon. tired of this cough i got.

This weekend for over 2 days I worked on getting my suspension installed for #HardShellTaco . 2015 TRD Pro Bilsteins and Headstrong 3 leaf AAL (Add a leaf). I posted some instagram @_RobDaman post and stories about it and will have a video up soon youtube.com/robdaman talking about the pains and preparations necessary to install. The AAL I’d have to say isn’t for a noob but the rest can be done with the proper tools. Working at night and alone isn’t the best thing to do but unfortunately it’s the only times I got toggling work and family. I don’t have precise measurements (sorry guys) but I got 2 inches all around. Rear AAL I kept the overload spring in case of heavy load and future towing possibility also the hard topper dropped the rear stock. Ride is firmer on road but when hitting bumps it’s smooth. No offroading yet.

 

I'm so torn on what kind of lift to get. I've gone back and forth between 6112/5160, 5100s or OME's and just recently started looking at just doing the pro suspension like you did.

Did you ever consider the 6112's?

 

I did and even 5100s. I just grabbed these since people were getting around 2 inches. I didn't want to go higher due to needs of UCA and messing with ball joint angles and such.

It was cheaper than a 6112 so I thought..why not?

 

Yeah, I would like to get new UCA's since my wheels have a large offset. The more adjustment I can get the better, but honestly I don't know if I need it.
You might be talking me into going this route.

Any links to where you got your stuff?

 

UCAs won't hurt having at any height. It's just depends on your budget. 2 inches and under you can get away without it. Nothing wrong with more adjustments.

Let me know what you decide to do.

 

Any driver side lean? Did you go with AAL's instead of a full leaf pack for the price point or for another reason?

 

I'm seeing how it settles but the passenger side was taller still like others have posted.

AAL was for budget reasons. i will see how things go later if i need a full pack. AAL was a pita to install on driver's side.

 

Nice build brother! How much did the Sport hood swap cost?
