1969’s build thread

I am curious how your flex will be, as well as how low you will be able to get it. Looking forward to seeing how it packages together.

My buddy puts the WFO kits on tacomas with the super duty axles and they perform really well on and offroad. I’ll keep updating this thread as we progress.

What are your plans for ram assist?

In terms of what? I’ll run a PSC ram

If you plan on running the static side of the cylinder on the passenger side usually gets a little tight with everything. I have seen a lot of people use the track bar mount for both the bar and the ram with multi hole brackets or I like to use a rear jeep bracket with multiple holes. I am personally not a fan of static side of the cylinder mounted on the diff cover. I was just curious if you had ideas yet on how you were mounting the cylinder.

Oh I see what you’re asking now. Yes it will be mounted off an aftermarket diff cover. Never had an issue with doing that before.

nothing wrong with the diff cover option. I have had to go to lube locker gaskets to keep one from leaking. I think on that particular one it was an issue with the cover bolt holes being too large allowing it to slip a tiny amount side to side

Who's track bar bracket is that? I am also very curious to know how the articulation is on this set up. My radius arms with Balistic joints bind quite a bit as expected. I'm running the 79 D44 housing with cast on wedges, so not easy to change.

Full bump, should have about 4” of up travel.

Not exactly ride height but you get the idea. Still waiting on some stuff to finish up the front before moving to the rear. 37” Yokohama Geolander MT on 17x9 pro comp wheels

Got the 3/16 frame plates back from the cnc shop. Going to plate the entire outside of the frame with them.
