The Lair

I'm jealous that yall can even consider a 16" shock...

 

Yeah exactly. I’d rather not go through the effort and expense to gain negligible travel. Plus setting up the limiting straps will be kinda fun.

 

I'm going mega flex (as far as stockish leaf suspension goes) though with Chevy 63s. You can just gotta do some extra . I know a guy that'll do it for OTPHJ if your interested

 

Yeah they are kinda easy. I would't get adjustable universal mounts for them I would make your mount so that they are solid where you want them. I would limit them to ~.25" from full droop of the shock.

 

Ha. 4runners dont even have a shock relocate possibility. So for me I am stuck with the longest option being 12" shocks and 2" bump stop extensions. I'm sure with some fabrication, a relocate could be done, but I havent seen anyone do it yet.

 

I’m getting some tabs from ruffstuff for top of the axle, and for the upper mount gonna use some 1/4” plate and essentially box a small portion of the frame. I’ll put one of those adjustable mounts on there to adjust for the strap stretching over time.

 

Does his come as a bolt in kit?

 

I never thought about strapping mine. I'll see what mine does after the install and go from there. Also will probably be ordering some of those bumpstops that boogie has in the front for the rear.

 

Hell yeah it does just minor required.

 

I wish. That'd be awesome to have.

I'm pretty much set on going with dobinson's rear "long travel" kit, extended bump stops, extended brake lines, and upgrade the links. That would give me more down travel, but limit my uptravel.

 

I figure it’s cheap insurance. I can get set up in the back for about $100 or so.

 

Dobinson stuff seems like it's really good stuff. Does anyone else make long travel for the 5th gen?

 

Metal tech has one. Kings has a long travel shock, but no spring that i can find. And that's about all I've seen



This is the flex from the dobinsons setup. Which I would be very happy with.

 

You know how guys like to brag about their size....duh

 

That aqua coil color tho....ugh

 

They will also do black or red.

 

That looks pretty damn good to me.

 

Super jealous of you guys. Wish I could do some rear end modding to my truck. Being a homeowner sucks.

 

Foreclosure frees up mod money, just saying
