To be honest, I have no clue. There might be an add-a-leaf back there. I thought the only thing that was lifting it was the 3" block I took out. Either that or it's the newer tires in the back.

I'll take a picture of the leaf springs when I go out to my truck later today and post it. Maybe we might have different set-ups.

My bad didn't realize it was 5 o clock already haha. I just ran out and took pics. Can anybody spot the culprit or see if my leaf springs look different than stock?

That coilover setup is sweeeet! What do the shocks look like fully extended and compressed? How much room is there at fully stuffed? Your truck looks awesome, keep up the good work!

LGcrawler

that kind of looks like my add-a-leaf setup. but im not near my truck so i dont know the width of my leafs

cr@ves4wheelin

Thank you, the shocks look fine extended, looks a little close when compressed, but should be fine I think. If I ever get any pictures I'll post them, I can't flex as easily as before when the torsion bars were in there, so the stock jack under the control arm won't do anything besides lift the tire off the ground.

I'll just post a new thread and maybe someone can point it out.

cr@ves4wheelin

Yep just posted a thread and got my answer. It's an add-a-leaf, I don't think I want to take it out yet though. It's causes the rear to be stiff, but it clears my 33s better and I still have my trailmaster shocks in the back lol.

nice set up. cait wait to see some action pictures. prerunner 4wd looks awesome

cr@ves4wheelin

Thanks, as soon as I get new Ball joints and Tie Rods (Mine are beat to death) I can go offroad with some friends and take videos.

Hopefully I can get this truck to be at least chase truck status, then I can move on to building a legit tacoma prerunner someday haha.

LGcrawler

looking forward to those videos man, 10 more days till im home from school and i can sell my dirt bike and then get blazeland!

cr@ves4wheelin

Nice, I'm really diggin that bumper and skid plate you got on your truck, I need to build a new skid plate for my bumper again sometime over the summer.

LGcrawler

ya i lucked out and found it on craigslist. i welded on a few extra bars for looks painted it and added the skid plate. turned out sick

cr@ves4wheelin

Not really an update, but I got an amplifier for the 6x9s on my doors. I just got new ones and I like to play my stereo really loud on the highway, so to prevent blowing them out, my friend suggested to get an amp. So I got this baby, for pretty cheap too, since it was on sale.



I'm thinking about putting it behind the passenger side seat, running power wire through the middle of the cab, and speaker/signal wires along the passenger door jamb.

LGcrawler

I've got my amp screwed to the wall behind the drivers side

minelabmike

alot of work but i think its going to look awesome when your all done with it

cr@ves4wheelin

Yeah, for now I just zip-tied it until I get bucket seats lol



Thanks man

are your coilovers the FOA 2.0 or 2.5?

cr@ves4wheelin

They are FOA 2.5. You could run a 2.0 coilover for better clearance of everything, but a 2.5 won't heat up as much as a 2.0 when you're going hard on it. Basically either of them will work though.

crazytoyota4x4

When you ordered your shocks from F-O-A what valving did you go with for the compression and rebound? Also what psi is the nitrogen set to in your shocks? Will be going the same route in 3 weeks only with the F-O-A 2.0's.

ToyoTech559

see u still have the factory bump stops. can u change those out for smaller ones now since you have more travel?

cr@ves4wheelin

I don't know what specs the shims are, but I went with [compression: med/firm] [rebound: light]. Psi: ~150

I could, but I'd have to grind the control arm more so it doesn't hit the coil springs. I think I might replace the stock bumps with King bumpstops down the road.
