A 'Real' Lift with Pics (on a long bed no less

[willy]

Those rims look just great!

You should have called Deaver before spending the time on the blocks They are R&Ding a second truck Mon and shipping my new leaf pack on Tue

Gonna be expensive though. $870 for leafs (10 pack I think), Shackles, Bushings and U-bolts. That price Does not include the longer shocks you'll need.

BTW, The wheels look great, I painted mine as well after Lin-X ing the rest of the chrome and emblems black.

I put my Camburg coils and UCA's on a couple weeks back. You might check your space on each side, You need to crank the drivers side up ~.5" higher on the coil to even the sides due to the extra weight on that side and Toyota's funkiness.

I'll post pics once I get the Deavers on...

Like the wheels....looks tough!

Is deaver also coming out with a mini leaf pack that will just replace the overload spring and add a few more leafs? Just curious...Day to day driving may be a little stiff with an entire spring pack.

Donahoe and Saws are similiar but are not valved the same. But both are good shocks.

I see you being the first to have a long travel set up in the future!

Looks great!

Awesome truck.

Can someone send me the links to buy the Total Chaos UCA and Donahoe?

I have 4x4 also, do I need a diff drop spacer?

Links appreciated, thanks.

Loving it man!!! Good stuff!

This truck looks so good! I have the same thing except mine is silver. I just bought the TC UCA's but I couldnt find the coilovers anywhere in stock.

never would have though a lifted long bed would look good but IT DOES

Sure does.. Personally I think short beds look silly, and I'd never buy anything else. Why have a truck with a bed shorter than the cab? If so why not a SUV or something? The bed of a truck should be longer than the cab IMO, and an 8.5' bed is about the same length maybe even a little shorter than the cab, but looks about the same.

[hotbox05]

the cab of most pickups rae from 4 feet to 7 feet so you could easily accomplish that with most short bed regular cabs , lol .


but onto other things , my 84 is a regular cab long bed with japan style bed


lowered , and I like the long bed on the pre 90 trucks.

the 07 i drive is a dclb , not by choice but it is free ! lol

What kind of paint did you use for the rims? I think the black contrast would look nice on my super white DC. Thanks.

[thunked]

I got the DR coilovers and TC arms will the following tires fit - 325/65R18?

[kingweb50]

yes they will fit but there is a slight rub on them a minor trim will fix it that is the same set up I have who did you get it from?

[thunked]

How important is the diff drop? I am planning on putting it in, just wondering if driving around without it in 4x2 will break anything?

You have the 325/65/18 on the stock rims?

I'm looking at my UCA and I am doubtful that another 2 inches of tire width will fit.. anyone using the TC UCA and runnin this tire?

Thanks

[camarom1ke]

yeah i was wondering what kind of paint you used also and how did you prep the wheel for it to stick... looks great man
