Hello, as mentioned in a previous thread I am planning a full 3 link with panhard and 4 link double triangulated kit for the rear of the 95-04 Tacoma...
This thread will provide updates as well as let you as the consumer give feedback and positive criticism along the way.
Ask questions if you have read the entire thread and it has not been mentioned before. I'll try to fill in the blanks. Thanks -Jeff
Oh, and don't bother with 'how much will this cost' questions, I don't have a clue yet... Let's wait until it's almost done.
Here's the upper mounts for the 4-link kit, they are adjustable from 35* to 45* separation. They are disigned for 7/8" rod ends misaligned to 9/16".
The kit will include a truck specific (long bed, extended cab, short cab..ect..) spacer plate that will set the seperation angle for you. It will be a triangular piece that bridges the two inner brackets.
Jeff,
how's it going?I am in vegas and was trying to work a trade for your 95 back in the summer,I was wondering what your thoughts would be as far as running this kit on my 05?I hope it would be possible this kit looks kick a$$,keep up the awesome ideas!!!
Count me as an idiot too... I've been wondering what the purpose of a linked suspension and how it works. Judging from all the pics of linked rigs, I'm assuming it helps you get more flex? But I'm beating my mind over how does it allow you to flex as crazy as those pictures show without bending a link? I gues I will have to see one in person to really understand it.
go do some reading u guys with newb questions. the sas folder has lots of great information on hiems and johnny joints as well as what this stuff is all about. if you read you will see how this type of suspension benefits over leaf sprung setups and what it means to have a 3 or 4 link setup.

I'm using a PracticalCNC table with a Hypertherm PowerMax1250 and a ATHC (auto torch height control) unit that measures the arc distance from electrode to material which is proportional to the voltage produced... and it adjusts the Z axis automatically to follow any warping in the material for a consistent cut.
For the milling I just have a 2.5HP router set to 8000 rpms and liquid cooling on the same table. I'm kindof sidetracked right now, I'm making aluminum bead locks on the table right now with coutersunk holes, chamfered edges and a cool inner design, I'll post that up on another thread. Expect these to be ready in about a month.
You will need about 5-6 inches of lift minumum 8 nominal, but that's not set in stone just yet. I designed an adjustable upper link on the 3 link that might allow a lower lift height, but a low 4-link setup is out of the question.
Any questions I'm forgetting just let me know or others can field the questions if you like. Thanks for the interest! -Jeff
Oh, and don't bother with used or aftermarket coils, the kit will be designed to use supplied coils so that I don't run into bad handling and fitment issues/complaints. If you want to purchase separate parts not in kit form that's a different story. Thanks -Jeff
