So what is everyone running in the rear

go to the nearest jun yard and pull a set of 63" springs from a 2wd chevy truck around a 93 year. will have to get some square tubing about 3" wide or frame width and get it cut diagnoly then drill a hole threw it and you now have two spring hangers weld them up and get a shackle hanger and walla about 4-5" of lift depending on shackle lengths

 

Lol I like your thinking yota but wife won't let me play like that with this one... I have a 77 cj w/ Dana 60 rear from a e350 van and a 44 from a Chevy pickup ... BuT my daily driver that I still have to pay on for about 2 more yrs I might get a divorce .... Lol




Like the exocage tho ....

 

;p thanks this is my daily driver lol sitting on 41's right now step up to 44 when i get my tax's back.check out marlin crawler or allpro offroad or sky's manufacturing and there are a couple other sites that sell springs for around that price

 

I realize shocks don't give lift just tring to save a few bucks for now ... Man this is getting expensive ... I'm going back to wood blocks ...lol Jk

 

Yota ... man what gears are you running to be able to turn that rubber

 

5:13 gears ford f-550 front 60 and ford 9" rear

 

What tranny and axles that's a beast gas must suck for a daily driver ... And no freeways or at least no going over 65 mph

 

no freeway? lol stock auto tranny and i listed the axles lol it is supercharged also running 12lbs of boost and a hydro steering assist so its fine on the freeway the iroks are radials and balance nicely

 

Nice... Now that's a daily driver ...

 

Did you go Detroit or what do you lock it up with

 

Take the Chevy springs idea mentioned above, go to wrecking yard & look for a 1 ton rated S-10 flatbed, they are a factory 8 or 9 leafspring, use the center 2 springs (4 needed total) measure & cut (no cutting torch,but plasma cutter is acceptable I use an angle grinder w/cut off wheel) 1st gen. centerpin offset/ , 2nd gen eyelett/shackle to centerpin

are equal rear to center/ front to center length..

 

4wd like the idea but once again wife would kill me for playing like that w/ daily driver ....


Maby if it was paid off ... Lol

Still have warranty (for now)

 

rear has a detroit hard locker the front is welded

 

Nice same for my cj

 

i just paid mine off a few months ago lol i was wonder if i stopped paying would they know what truck to take lol

 

Umm .. No that's not a truck that's ( A BeAsT ) lol nice build

 

Well you need to send the wife on a shorttrip or cruise for a weekend, tell her she needs it (actually you do)

Do the necessary MOD (only takes 1/2-3/4 of the day to do it all)

Pick up wife a day or so later, give her a big kiss & a hug , tell her you love her & missed her, take her out to dinner, have a little "waa-waa" time mission complete she'll never even think about what you've done....

seriously tho' all we're talking about is adding some quality steel to the infamously tired Toyota springs with very little out of pocket expense (less than $100) for a 3"-4" lift

& if this isn't cheap enough with all due respect then I'd have to say you're not ready for a lift right now maybe ....

But theres nothing wrong with collecting diff. ideas for later down the road either....

 

I'd run this in the rear!

 

Holy shit !! Looks like the Joker in a transgender state of transformation

fuckin' scary....

 

Lol don't mind Steve he's only 3 yrs old ... Lol if I offered her ( a trip she would know something's up ) but your right she would never know ... If I went that way would I have to do a slip yoke or ext drive shaft ?
