    Ironman Front Strut Problem

    Hey everybody, I noticed a squeaking noise from the front suspension only when going over speed bumps at perfect 90 degree angle such that both front tires flex up and down the same. No noise during angled approaches or normal driving. Inspection reveals that my Ironman front strut cylinder...

    Ford  Is suspension the same on the Raptor and regular F150?

    Hey folks, wanted to ask you something. Is there anyone who installed a lift kit on the 2015 Raptor? Just wanted to ask whether the lift kit that is listed for a regular F150 will work on my Raptor? By the way, I want to do 5-6 inches. Anyways, reviewed several videos and even read Pro Comp Lift...

    Air Bag Helpers

    So we finally picked up the trailer we've thought about for 3 or 4 years. Even though it weighs a little less than 2300 lbs I think once I load it the 80 will be sitting low in the back. I am wondering if adding air bag help in the coil will reduce the capability of the cruiser off road. Don't...

    Suspension Components - What's needed to bring it back to like new?

    Hey, All! Looking for some thoughts on the most commonly worn suspension parts needed to bring my 100 series back to as new-feeling as possible? So far, all I have done is Shocks (which made a huge difference since the originals were shot). While it's much improved, it's still needing some...

    Highway speeds, shaking

    Can someone provide me with some incite on this problem? At speeds above 50mph in my 01 LX my front end feels very lose and the steering wheel gets a moderate shake to it. Tires where recently balanced, my mechanic said he checked all the front end stuff and everything looked tight. Maybe bad...

    New wheel,tire, and suspension set up

    After reading non stop for the last three weeks, I bit the bullet yesterday and ordered the lift(OME and SPC UCA's), TRD Pro Wheels(purchased some aftermarket wheels for a buddy that owns a Pro and he gave me his Pro wheels), and 285/70/18 KO2's. My question is for the O'wise ones. Do I have...

    suspension question

    is the front IFS same parts as a Tundra? Would front coilovers for a Tundra be a direct swap for Sequoias? Or would you need to swap out LCA, UCA, CVs... like some of the 200 series guys do. Or they maybe completely different but that would be very un-toyota like. havent seen this discussed...

    Rear spring/suspension question. Spring Bumper48313-60010

    I am going to swap out my rear springs soon for a small lift and after inspecting my rear suspension I noticed that these Bumper - Toyota (48313-60010) Were really hard and plastic feeling vs rubbery. I can fell my rear suspension hit them when offroading under articulation. They seem to be old...

    OME suspension question

    Hi Guys, I have decided to install an OME nitro-charger option on my truck. I'm thinking Slee stock kit, with 2702 front and 2722 rear. This is a 2" increase in the front and .75" in the rear.

    Suspension lift to Okinawa?

    Bottom line, Im in the USAF stationed in Okinawa, Japan. I have an APO address here on base, or friends that live on the economy with local Japanese addresses. Are there any vendors that can ship internationally for either an OME or Terrain Tamer suspension kit for a '92 HZJ73? Thanks in advance!

    Suspension - leaf spring question

    I am trying to figure out what sort of suspension lift I have on my '78. I believe it was set up with a very sturdy/stiff suspension, and since I am 95% on road driving, I would really like to soften it up. I don't know a lot about suspensions, but I know I have seen 3/4 ton trucks with...

    Saginaw gear box clearance issue with greasable shackles

    While correcting one of the many short-cut modification done by the previous owner, I noticed that the Saginaw power steering box frame placement seems a bit off i.e., top greasable shackle is blocked by the steering box. On my last rig, I installed a mini-truck steering box so my Saginaw...

    Fj60 Softer Ride

    So I'm a little stumped at this point I recently acquired an FJ60 and it's a hell of a lot of fun. My only problem is the ride is beyond stiff. You feel every bump in the road and needless to say with the lift it has and no sway bars you kind of go all over the place afterward. I've managed to...

    LX470 Hydraulic Suspension

    I accidentally found a really nice ‘04 LX470 for sale locally-ish. It has like 90k on it, no 100k maintenance done. However, the sales guy mentioned it had the hydraulic hoses/power were rerouted to the shocks and not the actual suspension lift. It stated this was a common upgrade. Is this...

    Rear long travel suspension, overkill?

    My AHC is out on my GX470 so it is time to upgrade the suspension. My preferred plan, based off of nothing more than seeing the pictures of the long travel flex on mud and facebook, is to put in a icon or radflo rear long travel with front extended travel from metaltech or SSO. But is it...
