86turboyota · « **Reply #62 on:** Apr 01, 2009, 08:58:18 PM »

shackle angle was better after i drove it a bit

holy crap fender clearence deffinetly ditching that 2" body lift.

86turboyota · « **Reply #63 on:** Apr 01, 2009, 08:59:55 PM »

im not quite sure what to think about this much shock showing at ride height

yes this looks scary but they dont touch and im still planning to move the steering box as forward as i can.

86turboyota · « **Reply #64 on:** Apr 01, 2009, 09:01:13 PM »

i think im riding a bit high now, but once i get the new front bumper and winch up there and the springs get broken in i should lose at least an inch i would think

although i will gain at least an inch with new iroks...

86turboyota · « **Reply #65 on:** Apr 01, 2009, 09:05:02 PM »

more flex pics...

tons of room at full stuff, even more reason to ditch the body lift.

springs look nice and flat and full stuff

im a little concerned about tire to leaf spring clearence, i already managed to get some contact with 35s... so i think i may need to get wider spacers to fix this.

yea im happy with my front flex, im still not done though, i have some 14" bilsteins to put up there along with new shock hoops and the rear im not happy with but it works pretty well so far. Glad to hear that im not the only one with 6" of up travel, i think i read somewhere else that people where aiming for 3".. but maybe that was to fit 4ds

86turboyota · « **Reply #72 on:** Apr 03, 2009, 11:27:51 PM »

opinions anyone? i want some feedback on the new front suspension

86turboyota · « **Reply #73 on:** Apr 18, 2009, 05:34:47 PM »

so with the new leaf springs my front driveshaft moves a grand total of 3inches from full compression to full extension, not what i expected at all. its 38.25" at extention and 35.25" on compression. Im a little confused why ive go so much less driveshaft movement now than i had before. With the old set up i was using at least 6" of the travel and now im using 3". The only thing i can think of that would cause this is that the angle of the driveline is so low now that it doesnt move forward and backward as much. Anyone have any ideas?
I also found out that my front and rear drivelines are within 5" of each other, so im considering using the 10" travel slipyoke that i have to make my front and rear d-lines interchangeable.

ordered some 36x13.50x15 iroks today, $967 from 4wheel parts!

86turboyota · « **Reply #75 on:** Apr 22, 2009, 07:04:17 PM »

picked up my iroks today, and total with mounting and balancing (not by 4wheelparts) i paid $1047 pretty good deal imo

I think i might need to do some trimming to fit them on the tacoma, good thing they are going on my runner

NorCalToy · « **Reply #76 on:** Apr 22, 2009, 10:48:18 PM »

thanks! i wont be able to mount them on the 4runner for a couple weeks, i just got back to school from spring break so i wont be home again for a bit, but as soon as they are mounted on the 4runner ill get pics up.

new tires are on the 4runner and they are awesome, much smoother ride than the worn out 35s. Didnt get to wheel them yet, that will be memorial day, but i did get it flexed out with the new driveshaft and tires.

i may have overdone it with the yellow paint this time....

tires rub the leaf springs at full turn, but i think that might not happen once i get my new davesoffroad shackles installed

86turboyota · « **Reply #79 on:** May 10, 2009, 06:53:29 PM »

davez offroad performance no more death wobble shackles!!

got bored with my taco lol

fj-rankenstein · « **Reply #87 on:** May 11, 2009, 01:06:01 PM »

great lookin truck.... what style rims are those?? eagle alloy 058's or different??

86turboyota · « **Reply #88 on:** May 11, 2009, 01:36:11 PM »

i dont remeber the model number but i know they are procomp rims, i bought them like 6 years ago and i cant find them on 4wheelparts website so i dont think they make that exact style anymore.

86turboyota · « **Reply #89 on:** May 25, 2009, 10:47:55 AM »

had a hell of a weekend of wheeling and then my engine threw a rod (i think) on the way home at 10 pm last night, sat on the side of the road for an hour before another guy towing a yota came by took his rig home and came back and got mine. Ive got a ton of pics from the wheeling deer valley and slick rock that ill post later.
