[csd1982]

Also comment if have extended your wheel base and what axles you are using.

I'm at 23.5 with 39s, my goal is to use shorter shackles and 37s to get to 20-21".
I'm on stock 40 axles, flipped rear springs. ~93" wheelbase

26 inches

Fj80 rear axles moved back 3 inches

Fj60 front axle widened

So far does not seem tipsy.

21.5 inches ground to bottom of skid plate . I have a pretty flat belly . A little convex protrusion for the bottom of the t-case which drops it to 20 " in that area . 40 springs in the front , 60 rears flipped in the back . Wheelbase is 103 currently . 36" iroks on the front 37" boggers on the back .

@too tall do you have a build thread on your 40? I believe I've seen your 40 in a few of pathmakers videos. Love it, in the process of building something similar but keeping it sprung under.

104" wheel base, frame height is right at 24" I am going to lower it 3" or so at some point.
Front axle is a flipped FJ60 front housing to make it driver side diff (Tacoma 3.4, 5 speed and tcase)
Rear is Tacoma

How did u get 103"? I thought flipped 60 springs gain 5" in back and flipped 40 fronts only gain 3"? That equals 98" right?

I pushed the rear springs back a bit to get a bit more WB when I doved the back years ago . I believe you are correct if all things remain in the stock location .

No build thread on this truck . Never really stopped to take tons of pictures . Recently installed a 3fe and redid the cage. I like the new one so far . The other one was pretty hammered . I tried to make it a bit more slippery in the trees . I have a few pics from over the years if there is anything in particular you'd like to see .

If you don't mind that would great. I'll pm you to not clutter this thread up.
