    No. I remember you said something about that too but I didn't have any binding. I cycled it a bunch before the shocks went on.

    97 Tacoma Extended Cab. 3.4L
    Original Tacoma: 6" lift, air bags in the rear, 17x9.5 XD Series rims w/ 35" Cooper STT Pro tires. Body Armor rear bumper with swing arm tire mount, TRD Exhaust, URD True Cold Air intake, TRD Front Brakes, RIGID INDUSTRIES grill and LED bar installed in it, LED Rear Lights, TracRack rack system, tool box. Sold the truck. Bought 2016 ram 2500 Laramie diesel. (7/2016) Picked up 97 Tacoma 4x4 Extended Cab 3.4L. Building motor now. (8/2017)

    What do you think about the LCAs? Makes big difference over stock? Worth the extra expense? Am getting ready to put on the fab tech UCAs and going to go with fox coilovers but was debating about the LCAs..

    Thanks.

    Don't know yet. They've only been on for 5 days. Definitely more durable in the long run and a little more travel.

    In all seriousness I've noticed such a difference between wheeling with a DB and wheeling without.

    There's shakedown loop I use to just get out for a quick hit or test changes to my setups here in the valley due to how close it is to me.
    Yesterday I took my truck out with a few fellow TW members on this loop and I am so incredibly happy with how the new build is. The swap from Icons to Kings was significant. Not being so high up I felt so much more in controI of the vehicle on steep ascents or decents. Which in my area is very common.
    At this point I can't wait to finish dialing in the rear and I've got a little something in the works that hopefully plays out to my benefit.

    Yea Patticakes! Trail and error for sure. @Glueman did huge upgrade that I remember doing. It is the best a DB can be! (as soon as he gets a full leaf pack) The good news is when he decides to put the truck back to where it just was and trade it in he will be setup with some sweet parts to take with him.

    I haven't done any trimming yet, I had to take off the mud flaps and the front flap things. But the turning radius being lessened is what is bothering me right now. I want to know if there is anything that I can do about that, and if I can fix that I'm sure I'll be doing some trimming then.

    Losing turning radius is typical on a Fabtech lift. Steering stops are installed on your new spindles.
