South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Sandman has done something similar but there's a looooong thread about building them

 

guess its time to put my reading hat on and get to work!

 

@scottalot that Camelback Toyota thread is about to get better

 

What?

 

I buy my LBJs and tie rods and such from them and if I buy 4 parts and save $12.. better not spend it all in one place

 

There's a ton of bullshit in it but basically you want leaves that are the same width (2.25) as your Toyota ones and you want to cut them to fit length wise. Obviously shorter than the main leaf and then cut the corners to "dog ear" it. Just keep trying different combinations of leaves but the less arch the less lift and I think more leaves more carrying capacity.

 

Especially being that so many people from this forum buy from them.. they could atleast help us out. I'm gonna keep watching it though to see what happens. I'll continue to order from them because they do seem to have the best pricing around but don't get on saying you're "here to help" then offer me $3 back.

 

yea so far that's about the gist of what im reading too. any junk yards in the area to start working on?

 

wonder if we can get more viewers in that thread than the TrexTRD one.

 

Your in the Charleston area right? I got some from LKQ. I was gonna do it but got dakars instead. You can use a 2.5in wide leaf but you'll have to grind where the Ubolts go to fit but it'll work. 2.5 is like the standard leaf width but you can find older Chevys with 2.25. I say just settle for a 2.5 and grind the ubolt area. You can get a shit ton of lift from doing this. One guy got like 6in or something crazy and you can even do no lift but hold more weight.

 

yea im definitely not looking for lift. just trying to replace my old tired suspension. my air bags are the only thing holding me up off where my bump stops used to be.

 

Get some 5100s and do Chevy leaf build and you'll be set. Maybe some superbumps and you'll have a damn good riding truck. The best part is you can really dial in to your driving style

 

hey @dan0mite has his old leafs

 

yea ill probably throw on the 5100's all around and new coils up front and wait on the leaf pack until I can figure this one out. im finally about to start renting a house that has a shed for storing shit. right now I have a living room floor in a tiny ass apartment.

 

hey @dan0mite what kinda leafs are you looking at in the garage and thinking "man I wish someone would just come steal these from me"

 

They have about 55k miles on them. I can bring them Sunday...

 

youll have a new truck by then right?

 

@jpneely There ya go! You can run mine until @scottalot is ready to give you his...

 

eh I may try and start fresh so I don't have to replace them as soon. thanks though! that's only about 35k less than the ones I have on now. mine have been close to dead for a while too.
