Oh Yeah, I forgot! All it takes is money. Thanks for reminding me!

Not to get to far off topic . WHERE'S THE FRIGGIN SKIDLOADER?

 

[Kodiak Kid]

You could do both I s'pose......but if it was mine I'd just do the air bags first and see how it works.

Good call. I'm not going to be towing my dump trailer with it. Unless it's to move it towimg empty.

Must be an interweb lag.

I put these rubber inserts that go into the coil springs on my Honda crv, with the amount of tools I carry it was a must. Without them the front tires would be barely touching the ground definitely made the vehicle more level with the weight

I bought it around the time the 100 year commemorative came out. Got it from the original owner, he bought it in 1910. He was moving into a nursing home and wanted a hunter to get it. No peep. From what I could find out, about 50% were drilled for a peep, not mine, and I wouldn't drill it. Shot a couple deer with it, but eyes were getting bad. I got ammo from Ardvaark Custom Ammo. Never had a problem. I read a while back where someone had issues with his ammo. When I got into Savage 99's I let it go, big mistake. For those that don't know, a 35 Winchester is not the same as a 35 Remington. I'll post a pic in a bit.

I thought I had a pic of the old 95, but I couldn't find it. Here's a pic from left to right, 35 Remington, 35 Winchester, 405 Winchester.

I think it's Maple Syrple! The only word that rhymes with Purple. From the song, "Roses are Red, violets are Purple, sugar is sweet, and so's Maple Syrple!" Roger Miller, Dang Me.

These are factory loads so I think they are 300 gr at 2200 FPS.

Nice Rig'n man!
Well, I need to turn my Tundra into a 1 ton diesel dulie? They got any spring packs out there that'll do that?

Yes

 

[Sawdust Man]

Yes

You know, I bet they do have stuff like that available.....I imagine the price is out of sight high.

You don't think air bags and bigger springs?

When you upgrade springs you must do shocks at the same time to dampen the heavier spring rate. As stated, ride will be affected. But, that can be compensated for to an extent with the right shocks. And, upgrade the rear…upgrade the front as well or handling gets interesting. With bags you don’t have to do that as they are used only when needed.
my upgrade was mainly for the added flexibility; I have 3’ of travel on each corner with 4 tires on the ground .
load cap was just a bonus. I’ve had over 2000# in the bed many times. Not recommended for long hauls, however …steering gets interesting even with the beefy front SA and coilovers. When the truck was stock about a half load of Oak would bottom out the rear…less than 1/4 cord .

Not really. A cheap ‘Add-a-leaf will work but they tend to break if pushed too far into negative arch.
there are many companies that make Tundra spring packs. Check out Tundrasolutions.com
