The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

What kind of sliders you got there Mobbtown? S.O.S Concepts?

 

installed TC spring under kit had to pull 2 leafs out now it work great !

and work on getting new u bolt plates mine came bent ... bought this kit used

pulling 14" and got about 2" - 2 1/2" lift

 

While I have no use for the long travel stuff, I sure do want to ride in that thing and see what it's like ! !

 

How does the pack handle weight with the two leaves removed?

 

havent put any weight in the back but it should take it fine

 

Actually made by Proline 4x4 based out of miami florida.

 

Cool truck looks good

 

I’ve read on TW 2nd Gen, maybe others, front gears are “reverse cut” and shouldn’t PULL from the front- something about excessive pressure on teeth and very easy to chip/destroy. Maybe someone else can comment more on this, just thought is worth bringing up

 

This has some truth. Forward and reverse gears a cut different. Forward gears are cut in a helical pattern, which operate way more quiet and are stronger than straight cut, but also cost about 3x the cost to machine. So manufacturers use straight cut reverse gear to get around unnecessary costs. Also a thrid ger is required to reverse the direction, so the extra gear also makes a little more noise. For extreme pulling, I would say forward is stronger than reverse.

 

I have a question for everyone else, have y'all ever heard yalls fan kick in and start pulling air? I have never once heard my fan actually engage and start working. NEVER. But it's never overheated either, although the temps do go up when stopped. I think I am gonna take the fan clutch and boil it, see if it locks up. My ac shuts off when not moving.

 

Also, helical cut gears are stronger, bc of a larger area of teeth contact, however, helical cut gears do produce lateral forces, not preset in straight cut gears, thus, engineers must compensate for these forces w/ thrust bearings/bushings along the shaft(s).

 

Interesting stuff.

 

I've pulled some pretty heavy shit back when I had my truck. A lot of 4lo pulling in reverse, truck was always fine after.

 

I love it when people post pics of their trucks doing truck stuff.

 

Anybody want some bucket seats out of a 2014 to get rid of their bench? They are in perfect shape and have $250 seat covers. Forgot the brand.

 

Here's mine loaded down with furniture doing mild work...
