Re: Suspension for farm work
Hey Woody, good to see you in here.
That plan sounds non-brokeback. Should work out well.
The 07 stock arms are as long as the 1st-gen LT kits, so that uniball upper oughtta be good for something like 13" travel. Set the ride height so you're not hitting the bumpstops when you hit a bump...on my 1st gen with short arms thats around 60/40 up and downtravel, maybe the LT guys will chime in with their numbers since they have the same length arms as your stock 07.
Since yer towing and hauling, have you looked at a new leaf pack? It'll be more durable than AAL in the long run. Alcan and Deaver can both do an excellent job, just make sure they know what you're using it for.
Can you run a smaller rim? 18", maybe? Will it clear the caliper?
The more I look at the "doublecab" version...with the reverse half door...the more I think it needs to take a turn to the dark side and go moon buggy, sorta like a cross between that thing in Batman Begins and the open-top in Titan AE. Pull the bed, add a solid front axle, shrink the wheelbase and add stupidly large tires with no lift, then take it to Iceland or Dubai or something.
Anyway let us know how it turns out, and get some action shots. Not a lotta 07s offroad yet.
