Tacokid09's Build

This! So many LT conversions this last year or two

 

i would have been one of those trucks too if i still had the princess

 

More updates. Should be driving it by this evening depending if the heims show up or not

 

Damn!

 

Looking good mang!

 

Veryyy nicceee

 

Looking good Brian

Gotta get some action shots up!

Lots of preload or is the spindle lifting up the front so high?

Gotta get some 50T leafs for the rear to balance it out

 

i have absolutely no preload in the coils at all. im running a 600 lb up front with a .20 on the compresssion and a .12 rebound. Thats what came in the 8"s when i bought them and let me tell you what, since im not running bumps this thing is smooth as hell. i have about a foot an a half of ground clearenace so its super nice not worrying about hitting much of anything at speed. ill end up keeping the 600s and the 20 up front probably.

as for the rear, it leveled out quite a bit. that picture was after the drooped out the front and were replacing the tires. the 35s clear everything as well and no rubbing up front. only problem is the tire rubs on my driver side rear bypass. looked like the 1.5 wheels spacers are getting throw back there. other than that.... gotta start saving for that cage.

 

Yeah, balance out the width front to rear a little more too.

Gunna have Steve do thecage too?

 

Your skid is falling off! Jk, nice work though. Looks great.

 

nice wheel choice

 

yeah only problem is that the rear tires are already wider than the rear glass sooooooooooo i dunno what to do about that one haha

as for a cage... im thinking if im going to cage it....... i might as well link it.

hahaha i know! its all secure now. good ol engine hoist as a jack

thanks mang!

 

Truck is looking amazing man. What size are those methods?

 

thanks man, i appreciate it. theyre 17" methods standards.


remember if youre buying online, get the 17x9 since those are the right back spacing (4.5) i ended up with 4.75 back spacing but i ended up getting a 1/4 spacer in the front and tapered lugs since the stock studs are so short.





as for whats next for the truck... probably regear, paint, and then who knows what. maybe ill keep it like this for a good while.

 

nah not today. i thought i was going to get around to it but i had to help some buddies out in the morning and i had work tonight but when i went out for a little today with the 35s, let me tell you its not as bad as everyone says. the lil 2.7 will chug for a bit but once the wheels start spinning and getting grip its still pretty quick. only down fall is that once i go into third, it bogs like a mofo. im taking steve out tomorrow morning and he'll be taking pictures and ill remember to get someone to get the gopro going as well.

 

That's exactly why I was asking, method only makes the 17" in 4.75" backpacking, was wondering if they fit, but you answered my question. Thank you.

 

blang proved me wrong...they have a 17x9.
