Nice looking truck!!

 

my buddy got some killer shots with his DSLR and my personal co pilot 115lbs of testicles and farts

Dude. You gotta put a link to your build in your signature or something! Can't believe I'm just now finding this build! You're truck is definitely one I need to refer back to when talking to ADS Racing Shocks about the future of Tundra products! I've been eyeballing that Camburg kit for quite sometime but knew I'd have to match my front 3.0s with 3.0 rear bypasses Also the ADS rear bump kit is just right around the corner for production. I also need to get my front end on par with yours, I think we have a very similar mindset on how we wheel! Luckily I'm moving up to Chandler soon so our group can hit the trails more often and of course meet up with you for some offroading

 

i dont know how to make a signature with my build lol..i just drink beer and break my truck

 

dooooooo it in hindsight i wish i had gone with 3.0's in the rear and im going to the valley spring service to have them re work my deavers since im not happy with them

 

Valley Spring guys are top notch! Loved working with them and they have now done 2 jobs on my truck and lifted my dad's tacoma

 

what was your turn around time with them?

 

First time was about 5 hours, going from a stock pack to full expo. Next stop with them was adding 2 more leafs and it was about 3 hours. Phil really hooked me up with the price the second time too

 

Check this rig out @Help

 

Damnit!!! That truck is massively impressive

 

Magical is an understatement. It’s the freakin Rage Against the Machine of suspension setups on a Tundra

 

with stock lower control arms , it sure is lol...the only place to go from my set up is long travel

 

Unless I convince Dirt King to make some damn stock length lowers!

 

yah total chaos makes those..the key is to have someone design them and not sell them only acouple hundred shy of a full LT kit...TC stock lower are 2500 there full LT kit with upper lowers straps etc is 3200.......SMFH

 

How many banks did you have to rob?

 

Very true...I shit a brick when I saw the price tag on the TC! I had the stock length lowers and heimed uniball uppers on my Tacoma....it was so pretty!!!

 

@zackbremer Dude your truck is sick!!!! Great work. Definitely no going back for you

 

See Zack now everyone can find your build thread. haha
@TRON i am still waiting on the ADS rear setup. Hopefully will be ready anyday. Going ADS 3.0 bypasses with shock relocation similar to the Camburg kit but should be able to pull 16in in the rear all under the bed. The 3.0 bypasses have been redesigned to reduce the shock angle and ADS designed some bumps without the valve on top to keep the bumps from going thru the bed also. The only problem I face now is how to keep 16in of travel and not do fiberglass bedsides - I just don't think the glass will survive an RTT sitting on top of them without some cracking and damage. Right now I am thinking of just cutting the bedsides and or ditching the RTT

 

should be easy...im at 14 and the deaver leafs are at least 2 in thick..im curious to see the design because in order to get 16in you need a 16in bypass or you need a 14in bypass and some angle...either way itll be sick

i kind of wish i did SUA on mine ever if i left everything else the same 14in of travel, shock angle etc, just to get the longer leafs and have better performance

 

@zackbremer beautiful truck brother.

 

I'm excited to see this! If you pull it off with stock bedsides then I hope to do the same! I definitely don't want to run glass in the rear

 

@TRON @KevinK well got my ride back from valley spring services and GOD DAMMMMMM DOES IT FEEL GOOD I increased ride height by 2in on one side and 2.5 on the other so im much closer to the middle of the bypass. at the recommendation of my shock guy i softened up my short tube(closest zone to bump) and increased a lil on the long tube(ride height) and added 2 turns of dampening to the rebound. i dont have video confirmation but the buck is gone...my ass end stayed planted over everything. the truck feels entirely different

my front floats over stuff really smooth around 50-55 but my rear would always stack up and buck on me, so i mostly hang out around the 40mph zone which kept the rear end down but wasnt a smooth ride, the truck was saying "go faster or go slower this speed sucks"

testing out the new pack yesterday, after building some confidence in the rear i was starting to mash into stuff faster and faster..doing the o shit grip and tense up cus i thought it was going to hit hard and or kick up on me...none of the above happened..the faster i went the smaller the hits felt on the front, and while im sure the rear may have hopped a lil at times, its was small and controlled and certainly no bucking...

im in love..here's some before and after pics of the springs...filming more on thursday

BEFORE



AFTER look at view of bump for lift idea

after

 

That's awesome man glad to hear you getting it where you want.

 

Im all gitty like a lil school girl. all i wanna do is go out and play in the dirt...a lil fine tuning and this thing is guna be money

 

Rumor has it Baja kits was running FEA on some stock tundra replacement arms. They just announced their taco one, but their tundra ones may follow. Just FYI.

Oh, also nice build! Good info in here. I’m contemplating going SUA with 3.0 bypasses soonish.

 

That's an awesome feeling when the suspension is working how you want.

 

Solid! How much weight is in the bed?

 

550lbs and i stay constant at that load 95% of the time..the only thing missing from that weight is water and wood for when i go camping

 

I need to go to valley springs..
