Ohhhhhh! How are the Toyo's treating you?

 

[Andersej]

Heavy... but they work very well. Honestly I think these Toyos are just about the best 33 you can get. They are the tallest skinniest 33 on the market. I just feel like I need to re gear to 4.88's though. (cause I can't go uphill on the freeway in 5th gear no more)

 

[Kief]

Sweet. How do you make up for the long travel with the axles/birfs or does it manage in the stock length?

 

[jamister1]

Looks like he has to get some t100 axles. Are you going to eliminate the torsion bars and go coilovers?

 

[Andersej]

Yep t100 axles. To start I am going torsion bars and shocks but I am already saving for the coilover conversion. Probably do it in July before our McGrew run.

Sweet. I want to see this setup in action!

 

[Andersej]

[Andersej]

Anyone have any ideas on how to achieve a little more preload on torsion bars AFTER they have been tightened all the way down?
Or better yet does anyone have a set of downey or sway aways they want to get rid of?

Wow! How much did that increase your track width up front? Looks like it's pushing 4" per side!

 

[Andersej]

its aprox 3 3/4". I installed 3 inch spacers in the rear today.

 

[jamister1]

Was that a 3" spacer on either side or are we talking 1 1/2" either side?

 

[Andersej]

3" spacer on each side.

 

[jamister1]

Holy crap! You might look into going with a Taco rear end or something. That's even more spacer than I'm willing to use!

 

[CreeperSleeper]

As long as they are installed correctly, he will be just fine. Now if he was putting 3" spacers on the front, I would be a little concerned with steering...

A Tundra rear end would be perfect. I'm planning on using one eventually
