how would i get more flex?

[Yota-Freak]

so heres my rig the day i bought it. as u can see...if u can...there is a bottle placed beneth my tire...just to show u the distants between the ground and my tire. that is a 16oz smirnoff (how ever u spell it) bottle..and there is still a good 5 inches of thin air. i was wondering if i moved my shock mounts and shocks to create that ever familiar "A" shape. would that give me more flex?as always..thanks guys and gals=)

[jrock]

Probably not. Get some springs.

[AaronB]

if your rear shocks are bottomed out your not going to get anymore flex. I would probably move them and get longer ones, 12" or just get some 63" chevys

[Yota-Freak]

yeah i thought that might be the case...welp..after x-mas is over...and i get my taxes back..i should have a pretty big piggy bank=) what leafs would u suggest? thanks for ur input and help btw=)

[toyotanner]

shock  placement isnt a big factor for flex unless the shocks are bottoming out..... i would say softer springs or you could run a double shackle in the rear.....
getting rid of the ifs might help

[Yota-Freak]

how much u think i could pick up some 63's for?

[twistedtoy92]

longer springs longer shackles and longer travel shocks!

[twistedtoy92]

$75

[toyotanner]

$80-100

[Yota-Freak]

id LOVE to get rid of that ifs..its already giving me crap...lol. well ill keep up on the shackles and springs...ill do that for sure. i cant get ride of my ifs..its tough enough trying to save up for tires when ur in highschool working part time..lol

[Yota-Freak]

well shiznat that aint bad at all=)

[twistedtoy92]

pull your front sway bar off too, that makes alot more flex!

[Yota-Freak]

its already off=/

[boggerunner]

modify the stock bumps on the ifs

[twistedtoy92]

Off to a good start!!!! Now just wheel it untill the whole IFS falls apart and you cut the rest off and SAS it!!!

[Yota-Freak]

well i got 4 shocks up front (2 on each side of course...wasnt my idea..came like that. gunna drop one when i fix my CV's) u think that will give me some more flex?

[twistedtoy92]

yeah it should!! did you do a torsion bar crank??

[Yota-Freak]

not that im aware of..lol. im just now working on my body/chassis. it was all about getting the engine to run correctly when i bought it..lol. and the new clutch...so i really havent checked much.

[Rocksurfer]

Longer shocks will help that issue in the rear, they look maxed on the right side already and that's not the side that is lifting in the pic. The dual shocks are not an issue on the front for travel, it is just IFS at its best which will also cause the rears to lift. Just yesterday I had my left rear about 4 ft off the ground. It was interesting to say the least but I drove through it stopping would have been a bad thing.

[boggerunner]

inboard the rear springs

[Yota-Freak]

well ive wanted new leafs as it is...and i might as well get new shackles too...so that will take care of the front...as for the front...ill do all the following ideas. thanks a bunch guys. ill get er' done...of course i start my work right b4 it snows hardcore...i like doing crap in miserable conditions..lmao

Just make a pack with s 10 or mazda springs. You can keep it semi low with 5 or so leaves.

[Yota-Freak]

yeah i love mazda springs...but i doubt ill find any in this town...too many yotas in town..not enough mazdas in the scrap yard...

[twistedtoy92]

throw some dual shackles on the rear!

[twistedtoy92]

[toyotanner]
