If he installs this engine he will need heavier duty shocks

Mood: Its Pole Line Road time

[*] posted on 10-4-2013 at 09:27 PM


Trust me, I have been wanting to switch out my Pro-Comp suspension for quite some time. I am looking at MetalCloak's control arms as a necessity in 2014.

For my upcoming Baja run, I now have a full Currie steering package ready to bolt on. Tomorrow, at the Off Road Expo, I will be looking for a non-dropped pitman arm to help eliminate the bumpsteer that I have with my aftermarket pitman arm. Those 35" BFGs will turn like butter after I get all of my work completed.

They are proably a very good shock, And the reason we don't hear much about them is they are more a rock crawling than a racing shock, I personelly don't need to spend 400 per corner for a stock tacoma .
