Goose's 90 Sr5 Rig buildup **** Bought A 4 Runner! ****

[Goose]

i run stock f-150's from the junkyard, very nice, i think that chevies are overkill on length just my  i know people that run chevies and love them......

Well then i think i might look into getting some f-150 springs...
Any specific year thats best?
Did you take any springs out or run the full pack?

[Doof]

my f150s are bitchin, they kick ass. im just waiting for summer to put them and my marlin springs to the test

[Thomas P]

i took out the very bottom leaf, its like 3/4 inch thick, i forget the exact year but its between 75-79 and they have to be the same width as a toyota spring like 3" or so, these are ballpark estimates

LILBUDDY says the 80's models are the best I think.

[NorCalToy]

so, if the the fords are 54's could you run a longer shackle and just striat bolt them on to a 3rd gen?

[skipnrocks]

Wouldnt it still move the axle back? 

[Goose]

Hmmm idc either way, but with my wheelbase i actually would like the axle foward a lil bit...

[NorCalToy]

super short bed the truck!! aka double bob.

[Goose]

Eh... that beds coming off someday in favor of tube...
Might be sooner than later... idk well see..
If and when i do, id like to move the rear axle foward a bit, get closer to a 100" wheelbase...
But I dont know, well see...

[Doof]

your bobbin the bed now also?

id be down to sit back and watch and shoo the with erbody there and drink some adult soda

[Goose]

Rofl..
no no..
No bob-job.
I tend to thrash on my bed too much to spend the time to bob it.
Anyways thats what that big fat back bumper is there for.
Someday, its gonna be a tube rear setup... differant than these.. but.. just ideas...

Willy: Damn straight.. you need to come down and spend a night in the shop with us shootin the .
Drinkin the... "soda"

[Doof]

[NorCalToy]

[Goose]
