    Great Photos Marcs! Wyoming is look stellar


    Yea i was gonna go custom..but nothing wrong with a kit that has a shock that fits perfect already. Plus all the kits take welding so it would still be fun :D haha

    Plus id need a tube bender to do mine. Square tubing isn't going to work for that. Not that id mind...cause ill need one for lots of future projects haha

    Im curious to see what Matt will come up with. Its supposed to use 12'' ADS shocks.

    I really like TC's kit though, stupid easy to install. Just bolt it on and then burn it in. Want it for the double cab.

    The only down side to all these kits is you have to get the wider T100/tundra axle or run 1.25" or wider wheel spacers to clear the shocks.

    Would put you tires just out side the fenders...god forbid! :eek:

    I don't see the advantage..

    You can fit the same size shock on the outside of the frame..have it work BETTER cause its on the out side of the frame..with just wheel spacers..






    but you just like making shit 103413389579384x more complicated don't you? :p

    Hey hey..I had no issues! I think if I do it again I can't lead and just need a spotter with me most the time. I'd just get grant to run in front of the truck. :p

    It would be fine

    Plus I'd like to point out the biggest drama was captn cliff in his "skinny" truck :D haha

    Well...my tires are just...barely...BAAARRREELLYYY...narrower then the slider right now..haha like .25" haha so..that..won't be the case anymore.

    It would be very...very hard in lt. But I think I could do it

    I know. It was crazy and fun really. Glad it wasn't worse...but doesn't mean I'm never gonna let him forget it :D

    :laugh:

    I've wanted it for years. Can't wait for it to be real.

    Honestly I like your front setup right now. Pretty ideal all arounder IMO. If ya had the dials to adjust it for romping/crawling/hwy/dd on the fly be totally perfect.

    But..more wheel travel :D


    I do know one trail I'm not sure I'd fit down. The trail Marc Jen and I did after Shoshone got supper tight..

    Idk. I'll have a better idea when I have it of course. Turning radius is the big issue for those trails

    I can't say id recommend Fox josh...i've seen more than a few people have problems with pitted shafts and just poor internals in the consumer grade stuff. Between king, ads, and icon you cant really go wrong, all make good stuff. I'll even do a valve session with you on them if you end up getting a set, be fun, gonna do the same with Monte once his ads long trav is on next spring. Gonna be next spring likely unless you get them soon... If you do get a set see if you can have them valve them a certain way before they send them! I know ADS probably would free of charge...

    Yeah Fox was never really on the upper end of my list. King has always been one of my first choices with Icon in 2nd. ADS is new to me so i'll be giving them some good thought. Not entirely sure what my timeline is looking like for the truck but hoping by this winter i'll have a start on it.

    You can get ADS from MCM or DSM. They both will valve it for you how you want.

    I have no issues with king though either. Marc's and mikes work awesome. Igor is gonna be rocking those

    Be the anti-RTT!

    My truck mods will be on the backburner for a little while as well. I'm pretty determined to fight the urge to do any mods on this car (which is not fucking easy) so i can continue to work on the truck :D
