I'd be sad to see this rig go... but I do understand your reasoning for the switch. Not gunna lie, I've never been happier than in the Tundy.

Haha thanks man. Gunna have to learn to fiberglass to fill that gap. Never done it before, hopefully it comes out ok! I hear yah. I'd love to buy a new orange TRD Pro 4Runner and keep it forever. BUT not at this time... maybe one day. The Tundra is seriously too good though. Size (but not too...

Reeaaalllly? I wonder if they figure you could drill your frame if desired?

I've got a few ideas brewing right now to keep me busy for a while. Going to be doing a projector retrofit fairly soon as I've got a few sets of FX-R projectors and ballasts lying around. I was thinking of doing a LS460 retrofit similar to my 4Runner but I just don't know if I can justify the...

I had the afternoon off and headed over to my garage to have a look at the rear again. Photos of the rear shackle at full droop, I told you it was pathetic: IMG_4356.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr I even loosened off the front leaf mounting bolt and both of the rear shackle bolts to try and...

Definitely the shackles can bind limiting droop. There are creeper joints that allow the shackle bushings to pivot side to side almost like a heim joint. However I think that the bushings can typically deflect enough to get the job done, the creeper joints being used for the extreme crawler...

Good question. I have no idea how long our leafs are and how long the 2nd Gens are.... might be worth a look. Your photo showing flex is pretty much identical to my findings. So I doubt it is an isolated issue but more of a engineering and design downfall. I am really having a hard time...

No I never saw his truck in it's "prior life". I'll send him a PM. Another good link for reference... I'm pretty sure I read somewhere else this guy was on Deaver's too. From the photos the flex doesn't look so hawt either...

You'd like to do chevy's and keep the inverted shackle? Probably could be done.... however if I'm relocating the front, I'm flipping the rear hanger too!

Some good take aways here. Thanks for the thoughts and notes. If I compress one side of the rear suspension, my tires eat the flares at precisely the same time my bumpstop hits the strike plate. Therefore my uptravel cannot increase without cutting my fenders, in that sense. I do not want to...

An awesome 1st Gen Tacoma with Chevy 63's: I really like the shock mounting here on Adam's (@boxrocket) rig, keeping the factory angle and NOT having the shocks angled towards the center. Very similar to the ORS rear Tundra shock relocation kit. Just going to link this thread for future...

Good idea for sure. However I really would like to get into the tech of why one leaf setup will work better for flex over another. Building a custom pack to suite my weight needs isn't my issue. It's getting my weight needs while increasing flex, and how that is to be accomplished. An example...

White Knuckle Offroad makes bolt on sliders, but they aint cheap! I'll be working with a fabricator this year to come out with another bolt on options for our trucks, but specific timing is unknown at this point.

I've heard from a very good source that all of the 3-Leaf progressive AAL's for the Tundra are made by the same manufacturer. Even if the Icon center pin isn't long enough you could just get longer pins and throw the overload in.

Rear would work fine but the front would require some pinch weld massaging.

Ooooh I like those coilover wraps. Do I see Poly performance logos on them?

235/85/16 look too small on the Tundra, IMO. I used to run them as my winter tire and dreaded the day when I had to take my summer's off. I vote 255's and some massaging.

Yah I read through your thread Derek. Thanks for that. I'll make sure to use good gaskets. Now I need to figure out what to do behind the headers... I've already got a Borla catback, just need to fill in the blanks. I'll probably be keeping the cats and some kind of resonator, however the...

No rush at all Mike... whenever your able to is fine by me! Thanks again.
