The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Awww, they're all so cute. Like little short bus Tacomas.

 

Thank you...here's some more I dug up from my ancient photo bucket account.

 

It really looks good with the 255s. I’m partial to the tire size but it’s an underrated tire size.

 

For sure. Very capable, and awesome in snow. The white had 4.88's with ARB air lockers, and the red one has 4.88's with a Detroit/ARB locker combo. Honestly, the white one would probably keep up with the red one and maybe outperform offroad. The suspension was a much better setup.

 

Whad’ya think of having the 37s on the reg cab? I know the km3s run small but did they feel too heavy or ride funny? Seem like they wouldn’t be too bad on the road

 

I like them. Ride is good, but I did have 7 yr old, wore out Nitter Trail Grappler M/T before. Other than its a 4 cylinder, they don't seem too heavy unless you're the one putting them on or taking them off. Lol
I live in BFE, so take this with a grain of salt. I can cruise in 5th on any highway or interstate around here. I get the same mileage as I did with the 35's with arguably a better ride. You can definitely tell they are taller because of the extra sidewall.

 

Can it hold a hill in 5th lol?

 

Beautiful! What fender flares are those and how do you like them?

 

Depends on the hill...I would say 99% of what I encounter it can handle.

 

I'm not sure...previous owner put them on. The fenders themselves have also been trimmed two inches. They seem to do the job, although I have to tighten the bolts and nuts on occasion but that might just be my ocd. Lol

 

Dude my stock truck could barely handle the hills out here in 5th..

 

I sold my 4x4 years ago and there’s no way I know of 37” rubber clears with OEM UCA’s. Then going up just about any hill I had to down shift into 4th and many times 3rd gear so I wouldn’t get lights flashed on the hills. I like to MTB in the mountains in the summer and this is why I went to a supercharger and gears 3.31 to 3.73 in a five lug w/ 1.7” taller rubber or 28.6” rubber.

 

The one on 37's is NOT on stock UCA's. It has heim joint Rokmen race series UCA's.

 

anyone have a supercharger here with an auto? Been thinking of getting a sc on my 97 auto. Or of going to 4.5 gears, I plan on keeping 31’s so i dont know

 

Just because the white one had stock uppers doesn't mean it couldn't outperform the red one. I'm not trying to badmouth previous owner, but the setup on the red one is much more suited for the road...flex is lackluster at best, maybe even worse than stock. I'm working on a plan to increase the travel to my liking, and will probably execute it next spring.

 

Does anyone have expirence with how much Icon RXT will lift the rear of a single cab on the lowest setting?

I am lifting the front 1.5 and want to do something similar in the rear. Today I have the 4 leaf 3+1 stock pretty new leaf pack in the back (10k miles 4 years), and it sit level with a cap. If I throw 6 pieces of sheetrock in the back I feel like its pretty saggy 400lbs. So I was hoping to get 1.5" lift with cap one using rxt at lowest setting and also have a better spring. The stock 4 leaf is kinda meh.

This is it right now with stock suspension:

 

I have mine on option 2 with about 170 pounds in the back. I measured in at 24.5 inches from the hub center to the fender. This is with them settled in. I've read the option 1 gives an about an inch or so of lift with no load after settling.

 

Today's lesson is......MORE TOYS LESS PEOPLE

 

While sadly I don't have an answer for you about looking for lift leaf springs (I have IronMan 4x4 leafs, and I got around 2.5" of lift), but I see your in Massachusetts. This upcoming weekend we are having a meet and greet and making a donation to Toys for Tots, if you wanted to meet other members from New England. Here is a link if you wanted to join in!
