You may run into a problem with that ruf setup. The leaf pack is too thick you will rub the tie rod on your highsteer. I had a 7 leaf pack and mine rubbed so i had to make adjustments. Also i think the ass end of that thing is gonna be way high if your running just rufs in the front. I run a 5 leaf ruf pack with a 2 inch add a leaf for a 2wd 2008 toyota tacoma. The reason for this is the add a leaf is longer gives the pack some rigidity and a little more height to clear for steering (steering gets tight with rufs) i believe add a leafs for first gens have some crazy spring rate of like 1000 the tacomas are around the 400's i believe so its not extremely stiff but still gives the pack a little more support. Just some thoughts for you. The build is comming around very nice tho keep up the good work!!

I have already thought about that but am going to just see what happens and deal with it later. These Marlin rear springs are new and are going to be stiff and definitely have the ass end up in the air a bit. Oh well, I'll deal with w/e comes of it all. For now I just want to keep the progress going but rain is coming so things are going to slow way down for a few days. I wish I had a nice shop. Thanks for all the enthusiasm guys.
