well got the rear wheel adapters ordered and put my ruffstuff order in for some heims for the panhard, knuckle inserts for OTK steeering, their 1 ton y link and a diff cover for the 44. I still need wheels for the new lug pattern but I am debating between 35s and 37s. I wish they made more tires in the 36'' range but all I can seem to find are swampers. Most likely I will buy some mtrs or km2s 35x12.50r15. I really hate the fact most 17'' wheels are about twice the price of15'' wheels...

I think other than wheels and tires all major items are covered i just have to drop everything in the truck when I get back. I am debating deleting the body lift also. I need to come up with a way to lift rear some more too. I have the duff 3'' springs and beltechs, but deleted the blocks. Any ideas?

true that 17" rims are a little pricier...but seems like the 15" tires are getting more expensive and less common than the 17" tires.....

as for more lift in the rear....have ya thought about inboarding the springs under the frame....will raise it some and give ya some better flex....

Yeah prices on 15" tires have gone up, but 17" tires and wheels are still considerably more expensive. No I was looking more toward chevy leaf swap but I will have to research inboarding more.

keep the body lift and get 37s...you know you want to

Grunizzle · Aug 8, 2012

I am pretty certain on 37'' GY MTRk. I am worried my truck is going to be too tall after the SAS so I will have to wait and see. I am most worried I wont be able to drive it out of the garage when I am done lol

WoodyB2 · Aug 8, 2012

get baby tires or lower the psi to nothing...if that doesn't work you can always cut up the garage

Nice deal on the welder. That's the same one I have and it burns HOT. Love that thing. Gorgeous truck btw.

Take a look at my radius arms if you want to remedy the tire rubbing issue.

Does anyone have any info or links to tech on running toyota rear leaf springs?

brinker88 · Aug 16, 2012

I would think it would be like installing any other custom leaf spring. Move the hangers to the proper position etc etc.

Grunizzle · Aug 16, 2012

Yeah that I know, I was more looking for how much lift an aftermarket leaf pack would give a ranger and if the toyota packs are shorter for shrinking down the wheelbase.

railman · Aug 16, 2012

if you really wanted to shorten the wheelbase, just run the EX leaves swapped end to end....that would let ya shorten it another 5" :icon_thumby:

Saw it in person today! Looks great bud! :icon_cheers:

Grunizzle · Sep 21, 2012

Yeah I saw you today also! It's been a while since I've seen your truck running around. I just got back from my second tour on Tuesday so I'm still adjusting to normal life again. Monday begins build day and I'm starting the axle swap. Plenty of pictures to come, my garage looks like a parts store/UPS hub haha
