2006 DC Tundra new to the Forum

Long time lurker.

Bought my 2006 DC back in 2013 and used a lot of the knowledge base from this forum back in the day.

265/75/16 BFGs MT
Now Goodyears.
5100s on all corners
Some stiffer/longer ARB spring on the front
AAL on the rear

Going to be doing some upgrades after 170,000 of hard use.

Already went with the General Spring HD leaf pack to replace super busted OEMs and AAL in the rear and this has me liking the truck a lot again.

Most likely upping to:

285/75/16s Duratracs

 

Welcome! Good looking truck!

 

Welcome! I love seeing more first gen people show up here.

 

Forgot to add I did the Camburg UCAs right from the get go.

Uniballs get squeaky and I have replaced them 3 times in 170K but damn they work well.

 

How do you like those general's? Have any before after measurements or impressions?

You out scouting for mountain goat or what? Nice pics and welcome!

 

Nice truck! I'm looking to do just about the same things as you've done with the suspension. I bought new struts and a 2" leveling kit and the shocks are just too squishy and the front has started to droop again.

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

Stoked on the General Springs recco. Post up some pics of the springs if you would please.

 

Welcome from NC!

 

It's my back yard.

So far super impressed with the General Spring HD Gen 1 Tundra rear leafs.

I have a lot of weight in the truck and the topper.

22 inches at the hub center to fender well on the level.

Full stuff is 16 inches on the factory bump stops and full droop is 29 inches.

Full Droop @ 29 inches and front is full stuff at 16 inches.



My 5100s are getting somewhat tired but washboards are the best ever in this truck (AAL and TRD leafs were my only reference).

Short test time but seriously impressed with the General Spring HD Gen 1 rear leaf springs.

Anti Friction pads at the tips and it's a 5 leaf pack plus they have 50 or so sitting on the shelf right now.

Not affiliated in any way and a local shop found the springs for me and I paid a bit more than the less than $500 for my pair but that included shipping a a bit for the local shop.

Springs at full droop.
