Gen1 Spring Under Build (Lots of extras)

[TomDirt]

I had deaver SUA springs on an '01 Tacoma, along with 8" Total Chaos shackles, 3 tube King bypasses & King bumpstops. It was strapped at only 15" of travel, rode like an absolute cush monster, and never had an issue with axle wrap. But, it required a replacement axle to deal with axle plunge.
There's more than a few mods required for a spring under suspension, but they work beautifully when done right. IYKYK.

its their standard spring under pack for the raptor with some adjustments for added weight

What is the part number? ID or PN is on the white sticker on the main leaf.

Nice Build Taylor. Was thinking of making a trip out to AZRR in the winter/spring.

That's nice and all, but those new Shelby Raptors get a BDS lift kit. Good luck keeping up with that!

Anything marketed as a "Lift Kit" is the truck equivalent of wearing high heels.

It's just for show.

The more I think about it the closer I get to wanting to go sprung under...

It's a much softer ride, a little more droop, and it (seems to) eliminate axle wrap. Definitely more work than just swapping in new Deavers, since you have to remove the old spring plates, relocate new axle spring plates & get the angle right before you weld it on. You lose payload, (Deaver can tell you how much), but at this point you can get a really plush ride that doesn't seem possible in a pickup.
