    Try road force balancing. I had the same issue with some 35's I installed on a 4Runner. Turned out a tire was out of round, replaced under warranty and was 100%. It's a pretty cool process--and the only way I balance my tires now!

    That's what I will do first. I have pro comp 17x 8" wheel 0 offset, so 4.5 bs. Without the spacers I have very little clearance with the sway bar links at full turn but it does clear.4" bs would be better but don't know how to space 1/2".

    Yeah all your sway bar issues still have me scratching my head. I wish you were closer so I could crawl under there and get a better idea of everything that has been done and figure out solutions. Bums me out that you've had so many issues on a truck you obviously really love.. Wanna move to AZ? Ha ha. I'll go in on a few car washes and buildings with you

    Must be something with Tuff country knuckles I am thinking. The 285's do clear by about 3/8"if I remember right, but the 315's didn't, and they were suppose to with 4.5 bs according to there specs. And the carwash is a nightmare. Lol. Maybe where nothing freezes it wouldn't be so bad. Storage units are a better business as we have built and own lots of those also. Although people are always a pai to collect from every month, and throwing out people's personal property all the time isn't my favorite thing either.

    Ah, yep, the spindles would be my guess. I'll be getting the TC gussets welded to mine but have no plan on changing them out itherwise.

    Ha, yeah freezing is not something we have to worry about here. One of my childhood friends dad's has dozens of do it yourself car washes. For as long as I can remember, he would have massive drums full of quarters in his garage that would have to be picked up by an armored truck. His dad seemed to always be out fixing things. Guessing that they were all in Northern Nevada and Winipeg Canada, freezing is something he dealt with on a constant basis

    Just received my paint pens. Touching up some scratches once the weather clears up.

    Yep, constantly breaking down. Maintenance nightmare. And the freezing just complicates it more. Not to mention that people leave a freaking mess like they can't even get stuff in a garbage can. Constantly picking up after everyone like they are little kids. It's ridiculous. I might just make a trip out to Arizona sometime. Going out to Wyoming this summer. Possibly taking the Taco.

    I will, haven't been there since I was a kid, grandpa lived in Bullhead city. What do the TC gussets do?

    They just add strength to the factory spindle. Simple upgrade but worthwhile. My truck will be going under the knife again soon so I'll probably do it then

    Ok, just looked at them. Says eliminates factory sway bar. Which would eliminate the links?? Possibility for me, or not so much cause of the Tuff country spindles.?

    Yeah unfortunately with your 6" lift it probably wouldn't work for you since they are designed for the factory spindles.

    I'll do some thinking.. try and figure out some options for you. I admittedly don't have much experience with tough country lifts but I'll research it and see what you might be able to pair with it

    It's just their company color scheme I guess.

    Thanks, I would be willing to buy spindles from a different Fabricator if they would help my clearance issue! :thumbsup:
