This is my rig.



Just got back from fordyce last week and my rig did good, but I would like to lower it some, so it doesn't feel like an 40 foot fishing boat going down the trail.

I realize that a full size carrying 4 people plus camping gear will never be buggy like going down the trail, but would like to see what others have done.

I'm running 3" leafs in the front and 4" in the rear. I have a TK1 sway bar in the rear with 36" tires.

Do shocks make a difference, I'm running Billtein's. I think I've cut as much of the body away as I can.

I still drive it on the street , so I need to keep it somewhat legal.

Critique, criticize or flame away.

 

Pull some leafs. it'll lower it.

 

 

yup.... ^

 

...looks damn sharp though.

 

Thanks!

 

Yeah it does look damn good. You could always look into getting a shorter shackle as well ( i'd check the angles if you did this though )

 

I have 5 inch shackles on there now. I'm thinking about cutting the front crossmember off and Recessing it into the frame.

 

Could do that as well. That'll definitely lower it, along with pulling leaves... this is what i plan on doing to my rig whenever i come up with the bread to fund such a project. ( a low SAS on 35s )

 

When you pull leaves I feel like it weakens the pack too much. With a exo cage and the v6, I don't want to do that and ruin my springs. As it is I go through a set a year.

 

I think frenchng my hanger into the frame is my best bet. I just hope my steering box sector shaft doesn't hit on the springs.

 

Won't be able to lower it much and keep high steer.

Coils in the rear or did you do a leaf conversion?

:wabbit2:

 

4" leafs

 

Bump, to see if you ever lowered it?

 

Well, I am probly gonna get flamed by the Toyota purists, but I am in the process of putting a 4.3 in it and 3 linking the front end.

I got the motor in and done, so now I am working on the front end. I am taking my time trying to do it right the first time
