ZP 2005 Mid-travel Prerunner Build

they are talking about running a coilover and a bypass in the front (dual shocks)

 

i like it.

 

Thanks man! yes they are shortened to 2" stroke

I think so, there is no weight in the rear compared to the front so one of the biggest challenges it keeping it from bucking, which it isn't doing at all. Also I do not want to put a air bump in the rear till i get the frame all plated back there. This is always the game with building the truck... you think the front is perfect till you improve the rear and can go faster... than you improve the front then the rear doesn't keep up.... this goes on and on and on haha

 

yeah throw some spare tires in the rear and you will love life so much more. i do agree the biggest challenge is to keep it from bucking, the more weight back there the better!

that sure is the game! the trucks change, but the game remains the same

 

Yep and the plan is to build a uniball lower arm when we go to the dual shocks

 

that sounds sweet subed, doesn't tc have stock length lca with a uniball??

 

Yeah for $1599

 

yeah screw that. and its stock length.. psh haha

do you guys plan on putting any weight in the rear?

the front will way out perform the rear the way it is now, especially without air bumps.

 

Yeah spares, roof rack, extra gas (20 gallon fuel cell as a backup in the bed ).... all that jazz.

 

do you plan running that with the current setup? (no hydro bumps, and 10 inch shocks?)

 

id be worried about this happening,it would be a sad day if that lca came apart at speed.

 

Interesting I'm looking into doing something similar soon (have the AP Expos as well) so I'll have to PM you about the valving.

Are you running limit straps or just letting the springs max out?

 

Yeah but like i said hydro bumps will probably come down the road when i plate the frame

Limits straps are going on this weekend

 

What? How?

 

Exactly why i want to build a new lower arm

 

my bad misunderstood sry, i thought you were going to be using the stock lca.

 

This weekend I had firewood, full ice chest, 10 gallons of gas and camping supplies with the 180lb camper shell and I never really felt the rear end. No harsh bottoming out. The valve job is spot on.

 

Nice truck.
I really dig the front Fox can.

 

sweet set up. Can you weld a strap around the stock pivots as reinforcement?
