Timely post. I’m picking up parts for this using Dobinsons shocks/springs based on this setup. i think they’re here but don’t know their mud name.
was doing some math on the bump stop height. I don’t plan on moving shock mounts.
Can I still run the swaybar with TT extended Hd links? Any...
I’m in the process of doing a similar setup with Gamiviti towers and FrontRunner load bars. Need to take care of the middle bar still—haven’t had time to deal with the rusted bolts from the stock rack yet.
I’m piecing together my own 3 load bar setup in place of the factory roof rack using Front Runner load bars and Gamiviti roof channel towers. I went with 1575mm which is the same width I run on my FJ62.
I haven’t purchased the Gamiviti roof towers yet. Does anyone have other suggestions I...
Eezi-awn is the only one I’ve seen that adds a mounting rail like that. This looks different though. Maybe it’s an older version.

This thread was super helpful. I found the PO had Toyota pads in but zero shims in the front and looked like no grease was used. Started squeaking about 40k into my ownership…not sure how it went that long.
All new clips, pins and anti-squeal kit in the front fixed 99% of the squeaks. Used the...
Great build. Glad it went to a mud member. Question, were you running the Dobinsons 30mm urethane spacers with the c59-167 springs?
Your truck looks a lot higher compared to what I expected based on their specs. I’m looking for a 2”-2.5” lift in the back (no HD bumper).
Great to see the...
I need to re-index the torsion bars (they’re currently cranked) to level (slight rake) and I think at the point I’ll be at 2 inches.
Maybe I’ll just do the diff drop?
What are your thoughts on the most serviceable and least likely to squeak upper control arms?
I won’t be doing an extreme lift or wheeling at the limit. I’m most concerned with longevity and maintaining OEM-like performance/ease of use.
I’m leaning towards Dobinsons because of the 555 ball...
So this is probably a silly question. The IMS extended travel front shocks say they’re for a minimum 2-2.5” lift.
What Dobinsons rear springs would you pair these with to get ~2.75” in rear on a truck that has no swingouts/bumpers and is driven unloaded most of the time?
I ask because none of...
Noticed my started leaking pretty good recently.
After cleaning and inspecting this is what’s collected since Sunday. Plastic skid plate is off.
I haven’t noticed a meaningful change in oil level. How bad is this? It looks pretty bad to me.
Should I try a conventional and see if that helps...
