im here 24/7 to help with djm questions if you have feel free to call me. Ive done well over 75 05 up tacomas over the years and X runners i have about 35 under my belt seen it all.

ok will the ss drop springs work with the djm???? can it get into alignment????

 

[Amarillo X]

Just set your toe with a tape measure using the same spot on the ft and rear of the tire to get it close. I taped mine and then moved it to the alignment rack and I was almost dead on...now I do this everyday so it's easier for me I'm sure, but I bet you can get it close.:top:

No...you will have mad alignment issues.

ive done it with those coils but with a 1/2 inch spacer and in rear pulled a leaf with the 4 inch block and it aligned fine. Never did it with the full coil drop at 1.5 inches.

teh djm 3 inch set up in front with the 1 inch from coil and 4 inch block with leaf pulled sure sat low

the tires will hate you, The toe will be so bad it will sound like one long burnout. I adjusted the toe as close as i could before i went to the shop

Ryan speaks the truth. I drove mine to a shop after getting it installed and it sounded like a sick dog was getting squashed under my truck every time I switched lanes and turned. But in all honesty, I am sure driving it to the shop directly after install wont be enough to cause serious issues with your tires. Just baby it there. IF you don't feel comfortable, you could always have it flat bedded to the shop.

you also want to make sure that the shop you are taking it to can get lowered vehicles on their alignment rack. i had so many problems trying to track one down after i installed my kit. the first shop i went to said they could do it then it turned out they couldn't so they sent me to one of their other shops and then they told me they couldn't do all the while having a bitch of a time trying to drive the truck cause the alignment was so bad.

just look ahead and try and find someone who specializes in lowered vehicles. toyota couldn't get it on there rack either. at least not my dealer

 

[pinktaco]

thanks for the heads up

just use the camber bolts and eyeball it if your going to drive it to the shop to get it aligned. r u gonna go to island brake? cause don't take it to goodyear if at all possible...my home alignment was better than theirs....

the two bolts on the LCA can be used to adjust the toe as well, i don't suggest you use the tie rods to correct it because there's a higher chance of fking it up.

if you change the toe by using the lower bolts it will change your caster angle as well as your camber too.

lol well it worked for me...when i took it to get aligned that was the one thing that was actually in spec before they aligned it...

 

[pinktaco]

what about firestone??? i might take it to scottys

 

[pinktaco]

any rubbing issues withis this drop on the driveshaft and how to fix if any. I heard a lot of different sotries saying that all truck are a lil different

 

[Murderface]

The only driveshaft issue may be that the Carrier bearing could be in a bind. If it is it should vibrate going down the highway.

Usually its the rear tires that rub on the wheel well fender flare bolts, this will chew the top most part of the sidewall up pretty good.

 

[pinktaco]

you can cut that though.or trim it. cant waite will post pic when it pau just worried about this damm recon law hawaii

 

[Murderface]

Its the bolt on the rear fender flare that hits......u cant trim that:laugh:
But u can replace it with a different style that doesnt poke up as much

 

[pinktaco]

i dont have a xr now remeber that man. I can trim the inside plastic

scotty's burned down a long time ago.

just make sure you get angled blocks. the only reason your hearing different stories is cause regular cabs have one piece driveshafts vs. all other tacos having a 2 piece.
