Procomp is a fine kit for medium duty offroad.


Or just drink the Koolaid and SAS it...

 

i spent alot of money lifting my truck with the ifs crap up front and now looking at doing a sas i could of saved alot of money if i had done it to begin with im kicking myself in the ass....go head and sas it... i have 37s with 4.88 gears and it is the daily driver i prefer to drive haha have a car but truck catches more attention!!!

 

you damn right yodamonster a jacked up rig looks a hell of alot better than a stock ride

 

yea i catch alot of attention everywhere i go and people are always trying to buy it from me..... i couldnt imagin your rig is off the chain hopefully mine will be there soon....BUT i think my rearend went out today

 

That kit you posted is sdori ball joint spacers. They are not made by pro comp just the shocks and add a leafs are. Im running ball joint spacers, 3" body lift, abd some t-bar crank. i got about 6" of lift out this and can easily fit 35's. this set up has been decent cause it was inexpensive and i really dont have the time or money for a sas. lol

 

I've always lived by the quote

"Lift as much as you need, but as little as possible"

You'll soon find out that these trucks are very capable without a lift. you'd get more results with lockers, gears and armor.

 

oh and i deff think you should get armor,lockers,and gears first. Whats the point of having bigger tires if you dont have enough power to push em. i wish i would of went this route before buying my lift and tires.

 

The gears are the key, you can have a the nice big lifts and tires but if you dont gear to match then you will be kickin yourself later. You will have no power and will be screwed when you get offroad. I have 4.5" suspension lift 35" tires and 4.88 gears with detroit lockers and not only does my rig look good but it kicks butt offroad.

 

whats your top speed with those gears? What is it like in first does it creep along or what?

 

I can cruise at 70mph and it starts gettin a bit rough between 75 and 80. First gear does creep. Its not quite a granny gear but close, would probably act more like one if I had a bigger engine.

 

really is it a 5 speed

 

Yes it is a five speed, when Im in 4lo and first gear I can barely tell Im moving. But in rocks it gives me all the torque I need.

 

cool thanks for the info

 

my 4.88 do good with my 37s i love the way it runs all the way to fourth.....i can roll 70 (what my speedo reads) and run about 3000rpms...but i agree i wish i would of done locker instead of bigger tire because who cares how big they are if only one spins haha dont make the same mistake as me though get a locker at the same time as gears

 

Unless you mainly use your rig offroad I dont suggest the detriots or lockrite locker. My truck is my dd and I chirp my tires alot. Although a manual locker does cost quite abit more. And its hard to break a detroit.

 

im getting 5.29's and lockrights front and back this month or next. i should be geared perfect for my 33 swampers. lol

 

Do you use your truck offroad only for the most part?

 

i go mudding alot and when its hunting season my truck sees mud on a daily basis. lol but i have an automatic not a 5 speed. thats the main reason im getting the 5.29's. also i have locking hubs so i wont feel the front locker until i lock my hubs. i also wont mind the chirping here and there cause i dont have the money for a selectable locker, im just a broke 17 year old with a yota. lol

 

Wow an automatic, thats a rare word when it comes to old yotas. I to am 17 which is why I have the detroits. I was going to get lockrite lockers but found a guy selling the new detroits unused for 300 a peice due to him deciding to go with auburn lockers instead. And offroad with your hubs locked you wont notice the front locker much. And you only chirp when turning from a dead stop or slow roll and you have to accelerate while turning.

 

ya man ive done alot of research and i think im set on the lockrights. lol i really havent had a problem without lockers except for 1 time but that 1 time made me set my mind on getting them.
