The little 2TR that could...

This past weekend I just so happened to end up in a good place and could not pass up the opportunity to buy an Icon AAL set off of JD (cr250,000jumper). I'm very confident they will serve their purpose and serve as a good bridge until it is appropriate to buy J66's. Picture of install results to come.

 

Right on man.

 

Good to see you man, and wow I have gone up in status huh? 250,000jumper? lol

 

It was good to see you too dude. Thanks again for the hook up. haha yup. 250,000...first man to jump a rocket ship.

 

What kind of shocks are you getting again? This is what I have been thinking, if you have some 2.5's of any color your rear is gonna work really good. I have done some little test stuff with my truck and got it in the air enough to bottom the front end out and it only used about 12 inches of the travel I have in mine. If I had the add a leafs and good shocks instead of the stockers I think the rear end could have hung with the LT front in most situations

 

In some stuff yeah. If your full race trim or have a lot of weight in the back, no. But for someone with just a bed the stock travel is a long way for for that little amount of weight

 

The icon 2.5's have been good to me with the stock pack. My only complaint really is the obscene axle wrap. I'm hoping that tonight i can throw these springs on so I can have it done to drive to Vegas on sunday.

 

Now that is funny

 

The guys got a kick out of it. I laugh just about everyday I walk way from my parking spot.

Finally getting around to putting on the Icon AAL's today. Because my dumb ass lost one of the lock nuts I decided to go ahead and buy all grade 8 bolts for install. Should be done with this shortly.

 

My new to me, used to CR25000Jumper Icon AAL are now installed. The truck looks great since now I have a barely noticeable amount of bro lean. I plan on lowering the front shocks down to either level or about a quarter to half inch of rake. Here's some peektures.

The old man was giving the rookie some advice on how to run consistently for 24 years.


Backed the dog in and got one last shot of the bro lean.



With the help of Pacman4Runner and Spezzy we got the truck jacked up and got the rear end to full droop.



Got the centering pin and u-bolts out in no time flat and mocked up the AAL's.



Got everything centered up and tightened down...



Behold (almost) no more bro lean!





The rear end responds much better now. Any shutter I had from acceleration has been eliminated and it responds a hell of a lot better to road shock. All that's left it to take it out to put a little beating on it to see how it handles off road. Thanks again JD for a great deal on those springs.

 

Looks great man!

 

Thanks guys. Miss you both.....no homo

 

Looks good

 

Thanks man. Drives even better. After this weekend I'm lowering the front down and taking it out on a run to determine what to pressurize my shocks at. I'm figuring somewhere in the range of 170-190 psi.

 

Figured it was about time for me to wire up my headlights.

 

There is a baby jesus! Finally man. shit. Lol. Guess it looks ok....

 

Hater.

 

You know I ain't hatin.
