TG Springs Flex Photos

[rockalot]

I ordered 4" TG springs to replace the 4" Skyjackem leafs on my 1982 Toyota.
Also ordered 12 greaseable shackle bolts. Got my gear next day!

Photos below are the test run same day as the install which also included shock towers. For reference: 35's 25-30 lbs air, Rancho 9012s.

Pretty close. They were a litle bit higher until I flexed them. Afterwards they seem to be sitting perfect and of couse my truck rides much better!

Don't want to hi jack this thread, but it would make sense for everyone to post T-G flex shots in one place.

Here are some of mine, with 36" Swampers, T-G 3" springs up front and my old stock springs with a lift shackle in the rear. I just finished it tonight, so these are the only shots I have so far:

No problem, that was my intention when I created the thread!

TG 5"

We moved my rear axle so far back it was binding up against the body and preventing the front from fully flewing. The guilty sheetmetal has since been removed and I will post better pics soon.

No I don't but our rigs do look alike lol!
We'll have to get together for a twinsy photo shoot.

Tell him I have a badass plated front bumper I'll sell him. Should bolt right up with an addition of a couple other tabs for strength. Here's a thread showing the bumper and its stats: http://creationnonstop.com/forumsth/viewtopic.php?t=269

Why am I selling it? Starting on an exo tomorow that will utilize a diferent design.

ill send him the links to this thread and that one. i dont know if he can afford a bumper or if he wants one either. he just got back from tin benders and also picked up a skid from marlin so im sure hes pretty broke. i think hes also trying to keep his truck looking stock as much as he can. its kinda cool but ill let him know deffinetally.

Chris, Buddy Ole Pal, would would you mind posting a few of those shots you got of my truck this weekend with the Trail Gear 5 inch springs that i just installed. I am real happy with the way that they flexed, but I am stoked that I didn't destroy them with the 50 mile an hour 6 foot jumps i was doing.

[rockalot]

Thanks 92toy4130

[Chris Geiger]

This is the best flex shot I have of your truck Jon. At the event you were driving too fast to get any good flex photos!

[Chris Geiger]

Here is a shot of our 5" springs flexing on our buggy. On these springs we removed the two bottom short leafs due to the light weight of the truck.

sorry, did you have the drop hanger with the skyjackers?

[rockalot]

No, I was stock.

I have the Skyjackers if someone wants to make an offer. If not they might see some miles on my next project.

Here are some flex photos from my first trip with the sas. I was very happy with the performance of them and my friends were pretty shocked to say the least!
