Sterling's 2001 Double Cab 4x4 Build Thread...

nice truck!!


jon with the gti showed me pics

 

WOO! Wheeler's came through and I finally got around to installing some stuff tonight. Here's what I got from Wheelers:

• 1.5" AAL
• Bilstein 5100 Rear Shocks
• Brake Proportioning Valve Bracket
• Front Diff Drop
• Extended Rear Brake Line
• 20' Green Tow Strap
• New U-Bolts

Here's what was installed tonight:


Here's a pic of the AAL and Shocks installed:


Install was cake. Took about 2 hours by myself including cleaning some things up. I ended up not using the new U-Bolts because my stock ones were long enough and were in great shape (I love AZ!). I will take some pictures of the truck tomorrow when I have some light.

Cheers,
Ian

Loving the truck more and more everyday...

 

Man I love your truck. I have one just like it minus the mods. I am gonna copy your suspension for sure. I like the way it looks. What "tweaking" on the suspension was you talking about?
