just posting for the first time, let me give you some backround.
i live in maine and just bought a 1995 Tacoma, all stock (except for the radio LOL). i am slowly starting to starting to modify for off road use.
my next step is a 2.5" to 3" lift and some 31" tires. concerning the lift, i am getting ready for college, (read, tight budget) so that rules out companys like Donahoe. but i want to do better that blocks.
first question, can i remove the stock intercoil springs completely and simply replace with a nitrous shock? leaving out the coil spring intirely?
as for the back i want to go to a new leaf pack, i am thinking maybe Northwest Off Road, out of washington state. ever heard of them?
I have never heard of anyone trying to do that and i don't think that is something you can do.. Just get some old man emu's up front and a add leaf in the rear or shackles.. that will be just under 300 for the lift and you can even do the install if you have the right tools. RED
i have done some research since i posted and i keep coming back to the Old Man EMU. thanks for the good advice. as for the back, you don't recomend a new leaf pack?
sure that is the best way to go... but if your current pack is still in good shape and with you saying you are on a college budget it will save you hundreds.. but if your pack is bad already might as well get a new one. RED
Old man Emu's or OME springs. they are out of australia, i think. check them out a arbusa.com they are a really good compromise bewteen price and performance.
Red, have u heard how the ride from the comfort set up from old man emu is? Pretty cheap, are they reliable? I want my soft ride back, like stock with a 1.5 to 2 inch lift. Old man Emus are looking pretty good.
