    Icon RR front and rear, DSM UCA's, Camburg spindles.
    Yes, Camburg spindles with 285's. 4" from the spindles, and I have around 3/4" of thread showing on the Icons. I don't know why the DSM arms aren't more popular, they are STOUT.
    That first picture might be deceiving since you can't see the rest of the truck, that's a few inches of droop.

    The truck looks great I really like the stance it has. Did you adjust the Coilovers down at all?

    I went from LR to Camburg 1.25 uniball uca's recently..I loved my LR uca's on my last taco but, damn they were a mofo to find someone that was willing to align my truck where I live. I finally had to explain it to a tech along with much help from TW :D I went Camburg this time just for the fact I seem to like all their products and they are awesome to deal with it. Great ppl over there. Plus no worries about adjusting the bj's. I guess if you lived where there was REAL alignment shops it wouldnt be such a hassle lol
