    Who’s running 37s on Rock Warrior wheels with factory upper control arms and no wheel spacers? Really, I’ll take tips from anyone running 37s on factory upper arms in terms of body mount clearance. Thanks!

    After seeing some of the pics, I really want to make the jump BUT I don't think I'll have enough money to re-gear. To offset some of the size and weight of a larger tire, I started looking at BFG KO2's, which aren't a true 37 (more like a 36) and compared to the wildpeaks, are 10 pounds lighter per tire. Is that enough to somewhat offset having to re-gear?

    My experience…although I did notice loss of acceleration, I’ve been running on stock gears on 37s w/ 7” lift for the past 7 years. Ideally, yeah I would definitely like the power back. But it is very drivable without it. It’s not an absolute “need,” I guess, is what I’m saying.

    I recently re-did all my suspension. I'm getting a rear creak/squeak and i cant trace it down. Heres what i have done.

    I replaced the rear leaf springs w/ Deaver U748 and eliminated the lift block. The leaf was installed with the provided bushing for the front from deaver and the bushing provided by Coachbuilder for my Shackle for the rear.
    I also replaced the shock with RC Vertex.

    I've traced down everything on the above parts and have spoken with both build owners. Verified the correct bushing are installed.

    Is this a rear thing for break in period (installed Feb 24) or should i check anything else. Its def coming from the shock leaf spring area but its all brand new and greased. Ive re torqued the ubolts and bolts for both shackle and front of leaf, and the shock.

    I know i need to get a video uploaded but haven't had help to stand on bumper to promote the noise.

    Nothing common to your setup and mine except the Coachbuilder shackles. I have gotten noise from back there every since I installed everything for 5 years now

    FWIIW mine was new from the factory and sounded like that but I was told that is the nature of the beast with leaf springs

    Just stumbled upon this. I just did basically the same swap you did about 1500 miles ago (MCM Shackles instead of Coachbuilt), and developed a noise at about the 1000 mile mark. I'm going to probably pull everything apart to see if I could have lubed any of the bushings/sleeves better in the next few thousand miles when I upgrade rear shocks, but it sounds like it may just be life with U748s.

    Just out of curiosity, what type of lube did you use on the bushings/sleeves?

    Glad to hear it! That's what I'll be going with when I re-lube. I went with the same stuff I use for my SPC joints which energy suspension should work fine, but I suspect that's where at least some of my noise is coming from.

    Willing to drive anywhere in NorCal provided it’s a good shop. Preferably around Sacramento to Auburn.

    I drove to Las Vegas to have my suspension done.

    Stellarbuilt in Sacramento has an outstanding reputation in the Toyota community. Or Chance at Califab in Sacramento, a buddy of mine had some work done there and says Chance's work is absolutely second to none.

    That is a terrible vehicle, it'll give you a lot of problems, why don't you let me come pick it up and remove it off your property.

    Im kicking myself, I have the deavers installed backwards. They were correct left and right but i had to flip both sides. Once i did that everything went whisper quite. They were installed wrong for 6 weeks. I work remote and hardly drive and deaver said it happens all the time. I just used a blue all purpose poly grease i had in the shop/ dont know the brand sorry.

    I've put some more miles on them and mine have actually gotten a lot quieter. Can't tell if that's good or bad lol, but self clearancing is still clearancing.
