My 84 extra cab is gone. Tacoma build now.

[Ramrod]

uh oh, looking good big guy.  looks like you even have your party glove on and everything.  Hows the front flexing?

[Hyena]

Time for wheel spacers!

[Hyena]

It flex's a lot better, and it was even stable at that angle.  the front still flex's good too.  I am totally happy and surprised it turned out this good.

[Ramrod]

sweet, im over at angelas house and her computer lets me see the whole picture, looks sick dude and it looks like your gonna have to redo you exhaust again!! haha

[Hyena]

ya, redo it for like the 10th time!  i am tired of exhaust work.

Cool, send it to me, i will have it in the mail asap. 

[GrenadedToy]

uber sick. dang you got that done fast. how much did everything run you?

[inmyownsummerami]

Looks good man. So are you going to shorten your bed and frame now that you don't have the 63s stickin way out the rear?

[Twisted_Fenders]

wow that is an amazing truck looks great. keep up the good work

[Hyena]

it was a little over a grand for everything.  the bed and frame are gonna stay the same.  i don't have much room back there as it is.

[YODAWILL]

[yotamckimboy4x4]

once again looks awesome. how much shock do you have sitting out on flat ground? i cant wait to link mine one day.

[DTB]

nice job.....need some trail pics now 

[alwayzbroken]

What brackets did you use for the links? Ballistic Fab? You may have mentioned already but how long are the shocks? Looks awesome, you should be very proud of it.

[Redbeard3261]

I have got to find a "How-to" site that actually gives more in depth measurements so I can build the confidence to link my 85. That looks so awsome!

[Hyena]

its really not as hard as everyone thinks.  the top axle truss adn the side frame brackets i got from Ballistic Fab.  The bottom axle brackets i got from Blue Torch Fab.  the other brackets i made at work because they were pretty easy.  i have 5 inches of shaft showing at ride height.  these are 16 inch travel 2.0 air shocks.

Thanks. It looks really simple on your truck for some reason.

Do you have any tips or is there something you would do different if you did it again?

[kiyul4130]

you gunna throw a limit strap on that?

edit: what about some pictures whenever you get around to it of how you mounted up those shocks to.

[Hyena]

limiting chains i am thinking.  no pics of the shock mounts yet.  i am getting a new camera for my birthday though. 

Tip are to buy the brackets.  it is soo much easier and quicker.

[alwayzbroken]

What actually sets the ride height? Is it the height the shocks are mounted or is it the charge of the shocks?

[locktup]

Brad think about welding another set of upper shock tabs a couple of inch's inboard of where they are mounted now. The tabs will have to be longer to make up the difference with the increase angle. That way we can play with the setup at the Hammers and see what works best.

Jason

[Hyena]

That's a good idea!

[Hyena]

What actually sets the ride height? Is it the height the shocks are mounted or is it the charge of the shocks?

Ride height is depends on how much the shocks are charged.

[kiyul4130]

whens your birthday. mines just about here to?

[Yota4life]

Maybe i should 4-link too so i wont get stuck on the flex ramp    hah
