SCUBA's Taco is LIFTED !!!
Finnally got her mainly all buttoned up..
Still gotta work on shock mounts, bump stops, bleeding the brakes and moving the LSPV.
But here's how she sits (specs are in the sig)
Before :
This angle is more Dramatic
Final numbers :
D/F : 2.25"
D/R : 5.25"
P/F : 3.25"
P/R : 5.25"
So with 3" all pro's I got 5" of lift
and with 881's I got 2.25/3.25" of lift.. Still trying to grasp why theyre so uneven..
I think the rear will stettle down and give it a nice stance
Me = Excited

The install wasnt very hard at all..
The leafs went in without issue..Well, I had to chop the exhaust a bit..
Once or twice I had to call my dad out to have him hold a piece of pipe between the shackles so I could position the front spring eye to get that bolt in..
The front wasnt hard either, Although, I took it upon myself to try and disassemble the stock struts, but once I got one apart I couldnt get the compressor off, I gave up and took all the struts and crap to a shop this morning to have them assemble, 40 bucks not bad, They took the compressor off of the spring for me and by the time I ran to the parts store to return it and get back they were done.
Whew.
But yea.

Very cool...makes me miss my '97 Taco a little bit..I think your double spaced Sig makes it one of the longer on YT.
Bob the bed and trim the quarters at the same time, than do your rear bumper
some 2x3 box with a some 1.5" tubing quarter armor would look cool

Looks good, Scoob,
I agree, new meats and that thing's a beast.
Ah, to be young and have the freedom to spend money just the way I want to again.
