I bought the biggest best Archive Garage rear kit... with everything including heavy load leaf springs, FOX Shox with the remote reservior with rear shock relocation kit. It handles weight, can flex enough to walk right across a roadside ditch without lifting a tire off the ground, and has a superb ride on and off the road riding on 35x10.50x16 Accelera Radial Badak X-treme Mud terrain tires. I'm glad I researched all options and bought Archive Garage. I get compliments concerning the flex and overall look of my extremely capable 1st generation tundra. After I re-geared it with 4.56 ratio and added ARB Air Lockers to both the FR & RR differentials... its really an off road ready ride thst can get me anywhere in the boonies if I so desire. It makes me happy when things I buy... like Eric's suspension system upgrade actually ends up performing even better than I could have ever imagined possible. What well spent money that was for my country living personal lifestyle... Yesssss sir!!! Worth EVERY dime all the time!!!

Much appreciated my guy

Those wheels are always a win. Saw them on a basically stock OBS Bronco, no lift with 33x13 Nittos, apparently no rub except the front radius arms. Very minor

That NUT falling out: another reason for duct tape in the garage! Actually only falls out if remove the tensioner. I just had to remove that pulley and install the bolt again to move the tensioner out of the way just to get that timing belt cover off.

Thanks for the video! I also have a 2004 sequoia, it skipped timing and I’m trying to determine carnage. You mentioned that it’s a NON VVTI engine, would that mean it’s not an interference engine? Could this mean that my engine could be ok?

Wish I would’ve found this video before I started lifting my Tacoma! Do you know the stock lift height on a first Gen Tacoma using this method?

The 1gr-fe valve lash check is the same as this. You could pull the piston and check the rings and cylinder wall. Could be cheaper to rebuild than buy a used one.

do a leak down test on cylinder three and check where the leak is coming out from, from exhaust, intake, radiator, or another spark plug hole on cylinder 5 or 7. If you get air coming out of spark plug hole on cylinder 5 or 7 then it's a head gasket leak between cylinders. If you get bubbles coming out of the radiator cap then it's a head gasket leak into the coolant galleys. Either way it's a head gasket. On the manual for a 2005 vvt the specs on valve clearance are for the intake 0.15 - 0.25 mm (0.006 - 0.010 in.) , for the exhaust it's 0.25 - 0.35 mm (0.010 - 0.014 in.) had a misfire on my 05 sequoia P0304. did leak down test. There was leakage coming from cylinder 2 spark plug hole when I would inject 100psi on cylinder 4. It's a head gasket or cracked block. Highly unlikely a cast iron block would crack on this motor.

do you make the rear hangers ?

Thank you for doing this. So hard to find this information online. Almost 80 lb weight savings including the spare.

By looking at your yellow metals i can tell that oil was not changed regularly so you have seeze ring in addition this motors use oil to adjust valves

can you use these leaf packs with stock hangars and shackles?

Will a 2006 Tundra Acces cab bed fit a 2002 Acces cab?

Can you post manufactury whole bed liner take out no any video on you tube thx

i thought so too. but it was obvious at first sight that they have a weak tread depth. I measured them over the entire surface and the maximum I measured was 9.23 mm. as much as I was looking forward, I was disappointed and surprised compared to my BFKO2s, which after 15,000 km have 9 mm current

What was the depth of the tread when they were new

Out of pure curiosity, how many miles are on that 2UZ

Not that bad really. Thought there was gonna be more to it.

Got'em

All your Archive Garage Stuff is on my 2002 Tundra... Thanks SO MUCH... I now drive a MUCH more capable truck that I have an unending confidence in whil'st operating it off or on road, pulling a load or empty... Again, thank you so much!!!

Hello, I’m interested in picking up a set of the MD leaf springs. I’m honestly trying to keep the truck as stock looking as possible, I have it setting level right now with the front end bilsteins I put in. Will these drastically lifer the rear end?

That’s about what my stock 2019 Tacoma Goodyear wranglers tires are at and I only have 33k miles mostly surface.

Which one should I get if I have 700 pounds on tongue and squat ?

Thank you for making this video, this is the information I have been trying to find

Thanks! Great series!

What is the point of the u bolt flip kit

hoping to get this kit soon!!!

What kind of grease do you use

I would love a set got just was retired out of the Airforce went through welding school now my putting a flatbed on the Tacoma to make it a welding rig! Do you guys offer military?

UPDATED view of Archive Shackleton springs here kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3u5gKGeqdh1gZYsi=G2YLlQpSHBOQ45nj

what setup do you have in the front to level the suspension out?

what do you have in the front suspension to level the truck out?

Would durobumps work with any of the options?

archive only

I would love to see a video about your SUA setup you sell for the 3rd gen Tacoma.

You left out the hardest part! Getting the center pin to fall into the axle perch! That needs to be explained / taught. It's a nightmare for most!!!

Will the shock relocation cause axel wrap and wheel hop?

Would be helpful if you mentioned what grease to use.

I'm looking at an AAL for a little support and lift. I enjoyed the video especially the comment about the factory neg. arch. I was wondering if it was intentional or just wear. Thank you

I need a set of 4 of those for a F-350 but I can’t find any

Dodgebuyok😅😅😅😅😅😅

That’s not how you measure the lift because the tire size will be a variable in your method. Whereas when you measure from the wheel hub to the edge of the fender you’re going to get the true lift height regardless of tire size.

Great video. Gave me the EXACT info I've been looking for. Plus the hands on explanation.

Just last week I went from mid-duty Dakar leafs to Deaver stage 2 with the AG hammer hangers, shackles, and crossbar. HUGE improvement. The improvement in ride stability is very noticeable. Excellent workmanship, very functional product 🤘🏻

How’s the ride compared to factory. Also how much does it raise the bed again, compared to factory. Your right about the add a leaf. They don’t work. I have one. Now I have the Sumo springs. They work but I think I’m better off buying new springs altogether. Just being honest. The man made logical sense to do it right the first time. I’m not paid btw. I’m looking into these. 😊

Heck of a detailed video man. Thanks

Those springs are pricey
