All pro rides nicest
Trail gear is cheapest

 

you sound like a perfect match for yotatech.

 

Solid axles are overrated. You can stack three 3" body lifts and clear 40" tires easily. :flipoff2:

Get ready for that plank...or delete this thread.

 

read faq! delete this thread :flipoff2:

 

I'm partial to to what this dork runs

 

Yeah I think that^^^ is way over his head... Unless of course he goes with trail gears kit..

 

Do you know how I know you are gay?:shaking:

 

^^lol

Ha I wouldnt even wanna start a topic on TG vs Marlin Vs allpro Vs......

But anyways I went with TrailGear, their the cheapest and they come with the most bang for your buck for my 91 runner. MY 0.02

 

Should delete tthis thread though cause theres search button for a reason

 

:shaking:

X2:shaking:

 

But you could search and get a bunch of assholes like above crying for you to search.

IMO Trail Gear offers more quantity to finish the job.

All Pro offer better quality that the job will last longer.

If you can swing the All Pro that's the route I would go. If not, buy the TG and go out and have as much fun as humanly possible with it...........which is considerable.

Good luck either way.

 

make your front hanger use your stock rear leafs up front find a set of 63 inch chevy springs buy some shock hoops or make or find some f250 shock hangers at junk yard all the little stuff hit up Ruff Stuff way cheaper then buying some lame kit and you will learn more and save $$ My 0.02:flipoff2:

 

Either what he said OR save your money and go with selectable locker front/rear, ifs, duals with 4.7 and a 33" tire with some fender trimming.

 

SKY-MANUFACTURING.com from here, made here, good kit and great support. (and they are a mile from my house)

 

And their front hanger sucks!!!!!:flipoff2:

 

Here is a great one, and complete.

I am one of the few documented (that I found) that used this kit.. so I can comment on it's quality (though mine wasn't an IFS eliminator since mine was on an 85). Overall, parts are top notch, and the kit is complete minus some odds and ends.. Didn't use the bearings since I believe they were from TG. You need to not be a :homer: and know what all parts do, and how they are to be installed. No instructions, which doesn't bother me one bit... I just started driving the truck today, so I can't really report on ride quality that well yet. Here is what the truck looks like w/ 33s, no trimming yet:

Funny thing I noticed by clicking that link.. Dave used MY picture of MY parts Dave is a great guy, and he supports his products well! He even noticed through my pictures in my build I was running the wrong size of rear shackle. Don't know of other vendors who actually follow their kits being installed like he does. If your interested in checking out more of how this kit was installed, my build thread is below:

whats the problem with sky's hanger?

 

Nothing, if you box it in!!!

 

You know it really blows me away after all these years and all the times Ive seen those hangers caved in, you think that the company would have started to box it in a long time ago. Ive only seen one friend ever box that hanger in. Why people dont do it themselves, Ill never understand.

 

OMG thats tall

I used a Marlin kit ages ago and it worked great.

 

That was the first time driving it after the lift.. I'm hoping it settles a bit. Time will tell.

 

Go with all pros kit its easy to install and rides well been running mine since 05

 

Davez Offroad.
Just received one of his new hangers and couldn't be more satisfied.

 

DTCsk8er, any more feedback on that kit? I am considering one and would love to hear how it rides and flexes. Those rear springs are kinda crazy lookin but they are growing on me....

 

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Been busy. I've put just over 100 street miles on the suspension (that pic was taken on day 1)... No flexing/wheeling miles yet, I don't have a front drive-shaft. So far I've been impressed. The rear suspension rides great, and takes bumps very well. The front is still a bit stiff on sudden impacts.. Though overall, I feel like the truck rides great! Also, as Pyro said, the truck looks much higher in that pic than in real life. Below are a couple more from my drive into work today:

A few things I've noticed about my setup:

1. The front end dives under very hard breaking. Normally, I don't brake crazy.. but people tend to cut me off here in Houston, and I already had one occasion where the front dove enough to alarm me. I'm betting this is typical of most front lift springs, and I just need to get used to it (or know it's coming).
2. I have virtually no bump-steer. I came from a lifted TTB Ranger, so the difference is amazing.. straight axle steering along with the dampener is awesome.
3. I have no pulling, no death wobble, and the springs handle turns great (no sway bar). This is all with the TOP on at the moment, to try and get the springs to settle.
4. The rear springs are indeed very long, we'll see what happens when I wheel.. One thing to consider, is there are no lift blocks or add-a-leafs in my setup.. I believe with the 63" chevy swap people still have to get a few more inches out of them somehow. It's not really too big of a concern of mine at the moment.

PM me if you have more questions. As others say, Davez is a great vendor. Been impressed with his workmanship and customer service.

Thanks Pyro, great pictures.

 

I have the same suspension DTCsk8er has, the one you were askin for more info on. The springs settle a little, but not too much. The rig doesn't actually sit as high as DTCsk8er's picture looks. The pictures of my rig with Iroks are 37", the TSLs are 36", and the mall tires are 35".

These are the 35" mall tires, sittin on 33" Boggers.

He wouldn't let me go all the way up the A-pillar... :shaking:
