Ever finished the front?

Thanks man! Gunna be heading down to Kristian's place to correct and fix my c-notch!

 

^^Looks good! Thought they were 19s!

 

He's running awfully skinny tires with a 40% sidewall, no wonder they look big !

 

Toyota's are very light. If it was a heavier truck, a 40 series tire would be a problem.

It's actually a smooth ride.

 

That looks good man. colors match up good and yea there's cars runing 40s that are heavier than these trucks a 40 series will perform nice on that truck

 

It's all good, I got a fat 255/40 and 265/35 combo on my truck.

 

4/4 drop with 4" block, 3" DJM comtrol arms, and BJ flip. 17" rims with 205/45r17 front, 225/45r17 rear

Soon to get belltech drop spindles, and turned torsions, and relocated shackles.

 

Looks got Mr potatohead. What happen to the bed? How is the ride with the LCA? I'm going to be putting some on soon to compare over the drop spindals.

 

hey man i like the setup you have.what exactly did u go and ask for at autozone or is it just a universal kit? what did the kit come with if u dont mind me asking.

 

I did this and added the BJ flip. I ended up notching the frame in the rear to make room because it was flat on the bump stops with the 4" blocks in the rear. Now that the frame is notched and it has new shocks all the way around it rides better and smoother then stock. Im running monroe's in the front, and gabriel gas-a-just in the rear. The LCA's dont require drop shocks. The arms make the truck 3" lower without taking away any ride quality at all. Balljoint flip doesnt affect any ride or suspension either. It was real easy to do too. Took me a full day to do the complete install by myself with pretty basic tools. Did need a new alignment after. Notch was a bit more involved.

Overall, I think its the most cost effective way to get as low as you can without pulling leafs and turning your torsion bars down. I made my own notch for like $35 So i only have about $370 in everything to drop it including the new alignment.

Lol. Its all dented to crap. There isnt one straight panel on the entire truck. even the roof is wavy. Good thing new body parts are so cheap for these trucks!

 

MPH any side profile shots? BTW this is 3.

Funny what $289 gets you in comparison to our "other" hobby LOL

 

Oh dang! Hey man! I dont have any recent. All I have is one from right after the drop, and the suspension has settled since then. Right now all 4 OEM mudflaps are about 1.5-1.25" off the ground when its parked. Pics of the notch are in my build thread.

And yeah. Minitruckin is waaayyyy cheaper then the ruckus life.

Ill get a decent side shot tomorrow.

 

found this picture online.

I think this is the ultimate in a low and practical static drop

According to that picture, I was running a 5.5/5.5 drop?


I threw my midleafs back on, so I'm riding ass high again, lol

 

UPDATE: Ditched the tuner 18s and went with stocks

Before: 18x8" Tenzo wheels w/ 225/40/18 tires with 4"/4" drop

After: 14x5" stocks w/ 205/70/14 BF Goodrich tires with 4"/4" drop

Tires are rubbing when turning so I may raise the front up about .5" to 1". I could get smaller tires but the BF's are too nice to replace.
