I got my 39's today. 39x15x15 TSL Super Swampers

4 linkin F&R. Coils F&R. Gona be bad ass. I'm using a Tacoma rear axle cause it has 4" more width than the Toy 89 IFS axle I have now. I have enough jony joints to get the rear done and all my brackets and still waiting on alot of parts.

Toy 8" 3rd on the left and the Tacoma 3rd on the right. They look just about the same in size but there is a inch difference and no parts are interchangeable. I'm still gona be doing 5.29's R&P but gona be spooled F&R.

Here she is back on the chopping block again. I'd say a month at the most and I'll have my suspension complete and ready for a test run.

Got my coils and coil hangers. I have alot more coming from Sky Manufacturing

is there a reason your going coils? or do you just not have the money for airshocks/ coilovers?

TEXCRAWLER · « **Reply #6 on:** Jul 19, 2009, 12:42:05 PM »

I wanted coils in the 1st place and yes they are less expensive. Don't see to many broken coils but have seen a few broken airshocks and seen them lose the pressure out on the trail.

Looks awesome! I love the axles.

Not trying to tell you how to operate but be careful with those concrete blocks holding your rig up! Ive had one explode on me and dropped a tcase and tranny. Luckily I had them ratchet strapped also so they only moved afew inches.
