Springs

[-96jeepspeed-]

So, Im new to this toyota crap, Who makes flexy springs? Iv heard alot of talk about Allpro buggys, but cant find any info on them? Aslo, what about shackles and spring hangers and basically all that makes thses trucks work so great? If im going to buy somthing, Ill do it right the first time, or atleast try.

trail gear,  all pro, and marlin crawler will get you along way.

i personally like trail gear. there just as good but alot cheaper. and they have everything.

they buggy springs are no longer made   they were basically designed for a f-toy weight  i got them because woth the weight of a full body rig   and those springs it  basically like a 1.5 in lift and flex really well


i would if it were me today and i was building one over again   get the t-g 3s   allthe way around it will sit u nice and low   new front spring hangermoved as far forward as possible to get the tire out of the fire wall    and new rear spring hangers   u dont need to move the  shackle hanger back on the rear   just run a longer shackle   and run  i think a 5 in shackle on the front    


and if  ur gonna do it right  get the 14 in shock hoops   run 14s in the front and 12s in the rear  keep the rears close to the stock location   it will help eliminate wheel hop     and they still flex good like that   who ever says they dont is full of it






i need to find somethign bigger  it still has a little way to go before its fully flexed out

Cool man thanks, My truck some a shackle lift and what looks to be factory lift blocks becaue they have that weird triangle thin on the side of them, So it sits pretty tall, my old 33s on it now and have alot more room for a bigger tire. I have my old 11inch 5150's on the rear right now and have my old 14 inch fox 2.0s laying around that i will use. I will take a saws-all to it if i have to. So should i order a new fron spring hanger to move it forward or just reuse the old one? And keep the rear hangers in stock location and just longer shackles?

nope   new front spring hanger it drops the front of the spring down an inch also  it helps correct the camber on the steering      u can see here how we moved everythign and how the hanger sits     total we moved my front axle forward 3.5 inches     and for the rears  the t-g springs are longer   the rear front hangers have to be moved 6 in forward      just go though my build thread    and check it out
