Trick Trucks SUCK!!!

[oldskool]

Not knowing any better I had "Trick Trucks" in Waldorf install a ProComp Stage I lift on my Toy. After a recent outing I bent the passenger side drop bracket and the rear support brace on a rock. So I downloaded the directions from ProComp to get part numbers and began studying them closely. I discovered that Trick Trucks failed to install all of the parts with the kit and also skipped procedures. Luckily this had no severe effect on the truck but I rode around like this for six freaking years. I would highly recommend Swiss Mtn 4x4 in WV, ask for Anthony. Although the website shows that they mostly deal with J***s, they carry everything at great prices and Anthony is cool as hell to deal with. I'm upgrading all of my brackets to a Stage II kit and I just got a piece of stainless steel donated that I'm going to make another skidplate out of covering my IFS. Peace...

wait a minute here......

i feel your pain about the shitty install, but do you realize what you're saying?

everyday, hundreds of people talk about how shitty drop-bracket lifts are, here you are with real world proof of their shittyness and now yer gonna get another one? does this make sense to anyone else? with the money yer gonna waste on that lift, you could get a set of 3" SAW's AND a front locker. ill be the first to admit that IFS in ANY form is weaker than a SFA, but when you bolt one of useless hunks-o-metal to it makes it even worse.

After you put on a drop braket lift, you cant go back. You can only fix what you have or SAS it

thats the dumbest fuckin thing ive ever heard.

I beleieve you have to cut some of the stock bracketry off for fitment of the drop bracket kits. In order to go back to stock you would have to make new stock bracketry.

You cut the sub frame out and i have seen it welded back in. If you saved the piece that was cut out.

i thought that was only the fabtech lift, oh well, its still a huge waste of $1200

Nope all the drop lifts for the tacoma cut the rear crossmember out

[oldskool]

let me clarify...the components that I broke could have been replaced for about $80.00. I'm upgrading all of the brackets and adding lateral compression struts for a grand total of $300.00.

Most everyone I have wheeled with that had a dropbracket kit had problems. Bolt on KK broke the rear crossmember on his 1st run. He ended up making his own stuff to fix it. I've fixed alot of them at work that had problems as well.
