I was basically even with 2" drop hangers, 6" extended shackles and f23's. You'll need to cut holes in your bed with extended shackles and flipped hangers. Plus, it'll still sit at stock height. Drop hangers are like 60 from kartek and will give you the lift back

Ya im definitely not cutting any of my bed up, the plan was kartek drop hangers and stock shackles flipped to give me maximum height and performance. What I will end up doing if I decide to go with the deavers is try them in the stock position with stock shackles and see how I like it. If I get the lift I want a noticeable performance upgrade I'll stick to that until I decide further.

$300 for deavers and u-bolts and all the stock hardware? Im not sure yet.

All for low center of gravity. They still have all the travel tho.

they sit low like neo said for a lower center of gravity. they are built so they have a lot of bump travel (from ride height to fully compressed) while still having down travel. there's a new shop named Kibbetech that builds their kits this way, but they still handle tits.

do it before the deal is gone. you don't want this to end up like the 8.8 thing. lots of deavers for sale, you don't buy then they all disappear

Kibbetech does some awesome work, they're tug welding is just beautiful

This thread should have some more pics/videos of badass trucks like the first few pages. Just sayin..but does anyone have any low profile bedcages or removable lay down spare ideas?

anything in particular you're looking for? room to fit a dirtbike/quad? keep as much of the bed usable as possible? spare tire?

i don't feel like posting pics of my trucks anymore, but i'm going to be updating a build thread for a truck we have at work soon and i'll throw the link and some pics up here.

dooooo ittttttt, that back end needs some upgades to keep up with the front

once I get my front nailed down, Ill probably get F31s as soon as possible with drop hangers, then Ill get the cantilever setup down the road.

google is a thing, as you might have seen, none of us really have a "real" prerunner, we are all in the process of starting to build/building.

speak for yourself.

Yeah something that can fit 2 bikes and takes up the minimum amount of bed space as my truck sees the street the majority of the time just would like it to be able to hit dirt again not building a race truck of course. Just something simple. I really want to have 2 spares that I could put in or be able to put them on pins or clips so it can just be used when I do go out to play in the dirt especially since I do need weight in my bed for how my shocks are valved. Just something practical for a DD

Cantilever setup, keeps all the bed space, no cage.

Google only goes so far, also was looking for something more specific than just any bedcage. I figured since you guys are planning out how your trucks will look/what suspension you may have some good ideas.

Like this just would like to see better pictures of something similar since this has been the only one ive been able to find.
