    hmm, i just noticed the lack of a CV axle........ any chance it's designed for 4x4 and you have some axles lined up to work with it?

    Lots of expensive shit
    There are a lot of people running my products on rock crawlers, prerunners, race trucks, etc. I'm not a fly by night company.

    Thanks Landon, Ive spent the past 8 months putting this together. One of the fortunate things about living in Vegas is that the cost of Laser Cutting is significantly cheaper, and I have a really good relationship with my sheet metal shop, so I was able to get the manufacture cost down quite a bit.

    The ADS is going to be about a 600$ upgrade. The FOAs will use their Viper coils, which I have had great success with, but as with any company, people are very weary at first. So I may run Eibach springs with the ADS package since that is what ADS stocks and sells.



    Haha, you must be OG if you know what the MCM really stands for. The Uppers are TIG welded DOM Tubing, the lowers are 3/16 Steel and I have a lot of it done as a break shape which cuts down on assembly and welding time. I have not skimped on parts, all kits use stainless FK bearings, the bushings were made for me by Energy and are the 95T material (strongest poly that energy offers).

    Yes, all kits will work with 4wd. The 1st gen Tacoma use 1st gen Tundra axles, and the 2nd gens use summers bros extended axles.

    No problem man. Everyone one here know that I have no problem calling out crappy parts. Your work is awesome. Down the road here I might be ordering some shocks from you for my tundra. It will need bigger than 2.5" bypasses when I'm done with it
