    Might be a crazy thought but my thrust angle in the rear is off so I'm thinking to straighten up the axle I could make some kind of alignment cams at the front mount of the springs. That way I could pull the passenger side forward since that is the side further back and thus straighten the axel

    I think you are supposed to trim the bracket. I don't have a sway bar so I haven't had that issue.

    Like @Taco Nation said you're supposed to trim that bracket. I trimmed mine a couple times to get it right, you can see where it was hitting the end link but now I have no issues.

    Hey guys. Have a quick question. I recently bought a pair of king extended travel front coil overs for my 2014 tacoma double cab. Right now i am running 315/75/16 falken wild peaks. I have maxtrac 4 inch spindles in the front with billstein 5100's set at 2.5 inches to be able to fit the 35's. I have heard that king extended travel come factory set at 2 (Is this true?) My question is, will i be able to fit the 35's using just my 4 inch spindles without setting any extra preload on the coilovers?

    I just ziptied my ebrake bracket up by the spring eye bolt on my expos.

    I laugh when I see these other guys buying dakars and taking them apart to add or delete leafs when these all pros are so nice out of the box...very soft

    I did the same thing. Didn't want to cut it off in case I were to sell the truck in stock form. Agreed on the quality of the all pro's

    Today i went to go get alignment done.
    They said the spec is good but when i go straight my steering wheel was tilted to right side.. So i went back and they couldnt get it done right.
    Do you have any suggestion?
    Camber -0.1 1.2
    Caster 1.7 1.1
    Toe 0.05 0.04
    Are the spec for acess cab and double cab different?

    I don't believe so, since they already have the lowest price but I could be wrong.

    To those who have installed these, what was your initial opinion of the track widening in the front? I just received my SCS SR8s (17" w/ 4.3 BS) and I'm worried that they will stick out too much in the front. Has anyone done spindles with any SCS rims? I realize you can add a wheel spacer in the rear to compensate. Initially I was going to go the OME 885s or 887s, but now I'm leaning towards the Maxtracs, to keep my new factory components until later down the road when I want a little more lift. Thoughts?
