build thread (3.0 4runner tray back off roader)

[slobodan]

If you have all those experts working on it with you, why don't you convert it to a solid front axle?

[reecers]

is that the rite spring lift to go for then? i friend has 2inch body lift blocks for sale so i can buy 2 inch off him, then these?

I STILL reckon if he's gonna chop loads of weight off the back end, LC springs will be way too stiff.

But then, no-one ever listens to me... QUOTE]

I remember when we fitted your L/C springs, the only bounce your truck had as in the tyres!

Yeah, they're still stiff, but great when the truck's loaded up.

Reccers,

Sorry for late replies - got very bored when spelling mistakes were mentioned!

Did you mean you have fitted a 1 1/2'' body lift? Your post said 1/2'' - that's not worth doing. With 1 1/2'' body lift and 2'' suspension lift, 33'' tyres will fit - slight rubbing, trim the truck where you see it rub.

Apache is right - LC springs on a tray back won't flex at all - the truck will not be heavy enough. Put longer springs and shocks on and you'll be fine.

Ref. the tyres - 12.5'' tyres wander about on road, 11.5's do not, and they seem to work better off road.

Go girl !!!

One thing - when it's done you'll take it off road........

Then you'll want locking diffs (front, middle, rear) electronic of course.......

Then you'll want to do longer travel suspension - rear

Long travel suspension - front

Bigger engine......






In other words - you should have got a Cruiser lol



Actually, it sounds like you're going to end up with a beast - there's lots of peeps who talk the talk, but not many have the guts to take a grinder to their truck and walk the walk

[reecers]

That'd be a 'stinger' for stopping the bonnet getting mushed when rolling over i believe.
