    Wow. Looks like it's going to be pretty fun!

    Can't wait to see how you manage to do the all pro kit, most people with seconds gens that have it have had to do a whole lot to make it work

    Yeah I'm having all new link mounts/steering/frame plates and shock towers made. Sense it's a V6 we will have some exhaust rework and many other tweeks to get most up travel as we can! Preaching to the choir, but its going to be the fun game of mod a lot to get a little:D

    I did too. Retarred now though.

    And that's awesome with the tech support from King. :thumbsup:

    Edit: BTW, you should check out Ruff Stuff's top plates for your leafs. They are much more awesome than those AP top plates. ;)

    Have you looked at 4wheel Underground's 3 link kit? They might have one that would work for a 2nd Gen.

    Yeah they do a clean looking kit. I decided on doing something custom in rear and now trying to do same in front. My Fabricator is pretty stoked on this build as its his first tacoma with SAS. I'm really just telling him the direction I want to see it go and letting him run with it. :hattip:Worst part is I'm deployed right now and waiting everyday for pictures/updates and will not see it in person for a few months:annoyed:

    Letting your fab guy run wild is cool too. :cool: As far as being deployed, look on the bright side, at least you can't eye-fondle in person it every day wishing it was done so you can drive it and by the time ya get back it should be close to being done. :thumbsup:

    Why only 12" shocks if the suspension can do more then that. My 63" chevy springs flex more then your shocks

    I'm actually only running a 10" shock and pulling 13". The plans are to link the rear and I will get 18+ with only using a 10" shock, the cantilever or "Bellcrank" eliminates needing a 18" shock and a bed cage..Its very $$ but so worth it...:thumbsup:
