LONG awaited update...

ok so i know this is long overdue... but here goes... I'll make it breif, but there is a year worth of material to cover. :wow2:

Changed out some gnarly plugs


Rode my bike a lil bit


Hit 200,000 miles... i've been present for all of them!!!


Did a projector swap, and paint matched the shrouds



Built a bumper


Installed a snorkel and a 2" body lift for 35s

Yo Mr. Hentoni, Great looking rig: a stupid amount of droop on that rear axle. Can't wait to see what that thing is going to look like on 35's. Thanks for all the help today. :fro: Cheers,

Nice truck. What grill emblem are you using and what are the red things behind the mesh?

 

[BlazeRunner]

Looks good, except those plugs... you need some dual electrode Denso or NGK... sadly I remember the NGK number BKR5EKB-11

I've got a 3 inch toytec lift with bilstein shocks front and rear and the back is like an inch and a quarter higher than the front. I emailed y'all at toytec and was told that a spacer would not work because damage could occur. I didn't want to get on their nerves by asking to many questions so I'll just put it on here haha. Is there any other way I could level it out it is really bugging me. Thanks!

If you got a toytec lift, just crank the coilovers down in the front. You could also do a tapered body lift if you can't get it level without the CVs blowing up, like [MENTION=100116]D Farms[/MENTION] did.

Thanks man but I don't really have that much experience so I don't really know how to crank down the coilovers

There's either a spring seat that is threaded and can be twisted down/up, or you have the 5100s and have to pull the coilover and move the C-clip up/down to change the lift and then reassemble it.

Remember, at the end of the day most people suggest not going much over 3" without a drop bracket (which usually costs a lot). That's why I said you can do a tapered body lift which will increase the height of the front so you'll be level. Or just load up the rear end so it pulls the ass down.

I don't think I have adjustable shocks I can check when I get home though. I had weight in the back and it did actually bring it down a permanent .15 inches so I may put it back in there and get a 1 inch body lift all around. And wouldn't that make it a lot higher in the front if I got the tapered since it is basically 1 inch body lift only in the front ?

Yea, that's the point. I thought your ass was 2" higher than the front, so you want the front to sit another inch or two higher to level it?

nvm I misread something but where do I buy a one inch tapered lift ?

Ask D Farms how he made his
