So are you changing the camber gain or adding any sweep to the front end? How about caster?

the upper and lower arms are both adjustable. the lower has caster adjustment and the upper has camber adjustment.

well the front end is about done, and i will have a new computer so look for new pics of the whole build coming soon, with in the next week or two. 17" of front end travel using all 12" of the coilovers...250lbs over 350lbs dual rate coils on SAW's plus 4" per side of width from stock. new wheels and tires coming today 33" toyo's. next week will be the start of the rear suspension and full internal cage and rear cage.

If this is a build thread, it sure doesn't have to many pictures. Get some more up, I'm interested to see what you've done so far.

not to be dumb and all that sense i know nothing about pre runners.... but what kinda gears / motor set up do you guys usually run in builds like these? or is it just design the suspension so no matter whta you have under your hood it just stays wooded

To answer this/ question, he could, but he has another taco and 4runner for that. But I would rock it till I got tired of NOT feeling every bump on the road... :awesomework:

Dammit now I want a pre-runner. looks badass :awesomework:

yes its a DD and thanks for all the props, i should have some good pics of it in the dunes MD weekend, and its pretty fun to drive on the road...got a little adjusting and tuning to do but for a first time building A-arm suspension it drives pretty damn nice. OHHHH and i wieghed it today can anyone guess what it wieghs and what the wieght ratio front to rear is? i was blown away!!!:beer:

ok so im not gonna sit on here and wait for guesses hahaa total wieght was about 3500lbs the front at 1900 the rear at 1600! 300lbs heavier in the front that was way better than i thought it was gonna be, i figured nose heavy. i think it would be easy to transfer more wieght to the rear and get it 50/50, im sure it will jump awsome.

this is sick!


awesome:awesomework:

didnt see yah on the highway this morning? i was the guy throwing the rock on symbol to you on 203 yesterday evening
