Ha! Not my picture, just an example of the toolbox

I am not quite sure what would happen to my phyce if I owned a mini-van, but it would probably be really bad.

11 leaf pack is here:

My 11 leaf packs just arrived from Deaver. Just need the new shocks and the truck goes under the knife.
:luxhello:

Very cool Scott, did you send in the old ones to revamp or just go with new packs? I ask because I have been considering bumping up to 8 or 9 leaf from my 7 leaf. I love the ride, but I have some axle wrap since the regear and sag pretty quickly with a load now.

Scott,
Do you plan on doing the "More rear axle travel can mean dented shock cans" mod as pointed out by BajaTaco here. More commonly know as the shock spacer mod.

Looking forward to your review! :victory:

Cheers :beer:,

So how long until the new ones are on the truck? Have you heard any news on the new ARB Dakar springs compared to the Deaver's?

 

[Scott Brady]

The new Donahoe shocks are on the way, and I will be upgrading to the new high corrosion resistant plating coil-overs in the near future too.

So, I am hoping to install everything in early September, unless I get a wild hair and do it sooner

The Dakar springs are very nice and have a very good finish. I have used OME springs on several of my vehicles with great success. Unfortunately, I have not tested OME's on the Tacoma, so I cannot compare.

Donahoe shocks

The new Donahoe shocks are on the way, and I will be upgrading to the new high corrosion resistant plating coil-overs in the near future too.

Are the new high corrosion resistant plating shocks available to the general public yet? :yikes:

Too bad, I would have loved to install these when I upgraded the front suspension on the truck not that long ago. Corrosion resistance was ended up being the deciding factor especially in my climate so I went with OME instead.

According to what I heard... YES!!!!! The wait is finally over!!!!!!!

I have already sent an e-mail over to Demello for my package price (I'm getting some other goodies too)

 

[Scott Brady]

The suspension goodies are here :jumping:

Donahoe Remote Res. Shock:

Deaver 11 leaf pack springs:

I have a few fun trips and other stuff planned over the next few weeks, but I hope to give the mods a go in mid. Sept.

Tires are next on the priority list...
