Thx! Drives perfectly. I prefer the feel of these to 255/80 open country E loads and WAY prefer them to the falkens. I think this is a perfect tire for these trucks. Will update as it wears, but very happy with them. Dash is showing 15.2, so probably about 16.2 actual.
For anyone else reading: This is ~100% from the track bar relocation. I did the track bar correction first and it solved all of the sway / bump travel.
I didn't go with the kings (though I would have if I saw that price...) but instead the dobinsons adjustable ones. I didn't notice much of a...
Did you personally torque down your lca bolts after alignment? The torque spec is 205 but alignment shops are used to doing ~110 on 3g tacomas. This made some nasty clunking / creeking for me.
Another source for a similar sound for me was adjustable sway bar end links. I have the dobinsons ones...
Ended up returning these. Got a set of toyo open country 35x12.5r17 in C load and way happier. They actually roll instead of immediately slowing the truck down to a crawl. Definitely not as beefy for off road, but I am loving them.
I'm so glad I didn't end up doing business with Shock Surplus. I, like presumably everyone else, have watched a ton of their youtube videos so I figured may as well give them some business. I was ready to buy these shocks from them and have them install them. They were going to film it and put...
Looks like you have the hybrid which would help a lot with moving the weight. I just got the dr kdss trakx bar correct which makes everything work quite a bit better, but I’m quite looking forward to being back in a lighter tire.
I previously had a set of the open country in 255/80/17 which is close to what you’re getting, way preferred those to these and would gladly give up the 2” height for the overall characteristic.
Hopefully I like the performance of their 35, I’m sure I will. This has taught me how much you feel...
Recently had a set of 35x11.5r17 wildpeaks mounted.. I was quite excited to go up 2" in size.. but man these tires aren't it on a Tacoma. Way too heavy. You feel every ounce of the 68.5 pounds per corner.
I called Falken and initiated a return. Going with a set of open country AT3 in 35x12.5...
Oh, and sorry
Really interesting. I was able to swing by my mechanic’s today (a hour ago when I was asking you!) while running some errands. I brought the old springs and some new rear shock mount skids and trailing arm skids.
They were able to get all the insulators on, as well as the skids...
