Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

About 2” of clearance.

 

Your ride looks badass

 

Thanks man. Yours as well

 

cannot wait for the diamond in front... 2 weeks!

 

Me too. Been waiting and still waiting, lol

 

At least I have 90% off the suspension and steering parts, Need to figure out the brake lines (said they shipped) and also my p/s lines from the pump to the gearbox. Hopefully, at least have it on the ground, 3 linked. Not everything thing perfect but still, By Sunday afternoonish. More like midnight Sunday.. lol

 

Anybody running a second-gen factory t-case with a solid axle? How can you trick the 4wd to kick in?

 

edited my question: does anyone have pictures/details of a coil over/bypass on a front 3 link.

 

Isnt that like 90% of tacoma axle swaps?

 

I’ve seen very few Tacoma’s with a coilover and bypass mounted side by side on a front setup.

here’s a photo

 

Coil over and bypass for “solid axle”

 

So question. Why are they mounted on two different levels? Coil over seems to be lower than the bypass? Is it cause of the angle and lower mount is angled and they both still bottom at the same time?

 

Because the shocks are angled rearward it appears they are mounted at different levels. They both bottom out at exactly the same time

 

Are they mounted rear ward so at drop they are at 90 degrees? Or because of packaging restrictions.

 

Changes the leverage ratio so I can get 18” of travel out of 12” shocks... also this is a TTB front end, not solid axle

 

Appreciate it. Have any pictures of your lower mounts? I know they’re different ideas but just to get an idea. How much of an angle did you put them at

 

Im just running a 2.5 reservoir, huge coil to fit and a 14" as well. The hoops are mounted 8 degrees outwards with the shocks at 10 degrees inward. Have to move the battery/airfilter/fuse block/abs module and figure out a bunch of other items too.

Major project.

 

Where’d you move the battery too? And did you just a cold air intake instead of stock?

 

I have not started on that yet, Thinking under the bed where the spare used to be might work. Sideway AGM would be a good fit. I need to make a new intake to fit, had a K&N before. Really need to get the coilovers mounts for good then start working around everything. THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE.... lol Friends have a trip to Montrose, OCTOBER 17/18th. Hoping to be somewhat ready on that.

 

My buddy has 14s and is running Rock assault Toyota running gear he moved his into his bed in tool box pretty slick
