No We didn't talk about trailhunter extra weight. I think that is taken into consideration to start with, but what many people don't understand is that they are telling us what they been taught. All the spring coil load carrying capacity tests are done in the control environment, almost like a...
Hey no worries buddy, nobody knows everything - we all learn as we go. I just changed coils, no shocks. These are very good shocks and they have plenty of travel, so that doesn't need to be changed. We paid lots of money to have those shocks and all that suspension, only thing that sucks is soft...
I am almost 100% certain you can but you will have to change the rim and get something with different offset then factory rim. I am thinking of doing the same down the road.
Ok - first time offroading today with these coils and absolutely love them. Around 300lb load in the back (Decked drawer system, 2 full jerry cans and some gear). Truck is just floating over the bumpy forest service roads. Never bottomed out, no matter how fast I was going over the bumps. With...
No nothing at all. It drives so smooth, like floating. I have now about 300lb weight with my Decked drawer system ad 2 cans of gas full and it's just floating on the road. While before was way more bumpy and you really feel any imperfection on the road, now that is gone and truck just floats.
That's a myth - that you need some crazy compression when you overland. You need more support for overland then compression and this coil will offer enough compression for that. Compression is for rock crawling and trust me I know. I been overlanding for 10 years and doing some rock crawling as...
Yes they went too soft and this is such a difference in ride quality after the upgrade that I am shocked how Toyota could put those soft springs in the first place.
I would suggest you to go with 821. Here is how I decided. I took stock truck 3 times out to offroad on local mountain trails here in British Columbia. What I noticed right away that truck doesn't have enough clearance for the trails. And that was empty truck. Truck was making trough the trails...
It's way more smoother drive. It's les bumpy to put it that way. Before if I go over bumps on the road you really feel them, now hardly anything. Truck feels tighter and better handling overall. It's not a small difference, it's really noticeable. My mechanic drove it before and after and he was...
Changed coils on Trailhunter. Got 2 inches on the front and 3 on the back. And I can't believe how drives much much better - huge improvement. Even my mechanic was shock how trucks feels much better with stiffer coils.
I can't hear mine with windows closed. I would really have to listen for it and find that sound when windows are closed. This is from driver position. As a passenger I hear it... here and there but nothing that would bother me. When window is open I can hear it of course but really it doesn't...
