Relocate the front hanger, which will move the axle forward, pulling your shackle away from the frame. Just a thought...

Or get shorter springs. Another thought...

DaveS

Relocate it where though? Its all the way forward. What would happen with longer shackles? A worse angle?


Also...seen a ton of decent looking xenon or projector/hid headlights on ebay...do they require everything to be re-wired? Also has anyone ever installed one of the gauge cluster covers? That make your instrument cluster look custom

#1 Lets see them, i'll let you know if they are real.

#2 Uhh... you mean the ones with flames in them?

DaveS

#1...hit up ebay and let's see a link with decent ones .

2...no just white. On ebay for like 20 bucks...how hard is it to pull the cluster

Nice rig

DaveS

Thanks!

DaveS

Question...my front shackle angle..its a bit too far back. My front springs also dont have much arch to em (my rear end is sitting about 2 inches further up). Idk if i have stock shackles or not...or how much the rear is lifted (supposedly 5 inches). All pro has 4 and 5 inch springs what should i get

Nice Truck man, glad to see some more chattanoogans coming to the yota scene.

DaveS

You from the area?

Greg_Canada

1 lol thats your job, im not your wife
2 The most difficult part is taking the needles off and getting them back in the right place.

DaveS

1. Thanks.. i forgot you werent..haha
2. I just wanna pull the cluster. Needles don't gotta move

I think you have too much truck for your skill levels. I would suggest a factory service manual to start. Find a download for one.

I think you should have started with a stockish rig and built it from there.

Tackle one problem at a time and do the research. You are all over the place.

DaveS

Im all over the place cause ill be doing everything at once when tax time gets here. The suspension of these rigs is the most simplistic thing out there...solid axle leaf sprung...ive built a few jeeps and there is a lot more to em then these. What i am new to is the yota drivetrain and the marlin mods.

Dave, were did you get your 5.13's? Never heard of 5.13's almost seems like its close to 5.29's but who knows uh?

DaveS

I bought it from the 3rd owner. I was thinking 529s also...cant find 513s anywhere

since nobody will awnser his shackle angle question i will, what you have to do is cut your front spring hanger off the frame then move it forward an in or so, this will move your axle forward giving you a better approch angle and getting the shackles off the frame, then if you wanted to level the front even with the back you could buy some longer shackles, which would level your front end out, as far as a guage cluster goes i wouldnt buy one off ebay, i would swap to an sr5 guage cluster, has temp, oil psi, voltage and rpms,

DaveS

Thank you sir. Well wheeled it today. Did decent..but now ive got tranny issues... guessing a dead clutch...will NOT go in gear

DaveS

Wasnt clutch..just low on fluid. It is up for sale though..may or may not sell it..depends on how much cash gets offered up

DaveS

Sold!

Redeth005

Wait wha..????? you sold your awesome awesome rig?!?!? Noooooo Whyyyyyy? hope you got a great amount to buy something even better lol that truck had so much stuff on it.
