    It all adds up.

    Doesn't help he is a single cab either.

    You'd benefit from aftermarket ones if you plan on aftermarket coil overs. Plus helps with alignment too.

    The spc light racing ones are a good upgrade but only 450

    I want to badly but just not viable financially sadly. So much money I need to spend just on fixing things on the truck to feel good about driving cross country in it that aftermarket UCA's aren't in the cards just yet. Just getting these spindles built with the new bearings etc is costing me more than I want to spend right now but at least I know I will benefit from this freshness for a couple years.

    FYI, the POR 15 product is designed to have a top coat applied to it. I used it on my utility trailer without applying a top coat. It seams to be holding up ok after 3 years but, it turns hazy and the top layer comes off on your fingers if you wipe across it, like carbon paper ink.

    I hear you there..

    Easy enough to swap out OEM ones.

    Spacers are okay. But usually only need to run them if you need to fit the tires.

    Drive it stock for a bit. learn the truck. then start bolting stuff to it.

    True, true. Gotta be some reason the 4 banger single cabs always end up a bit taller with the same lifts as other tacos.

    no i would not take Igor. That's a Frankenstein trail.

    Yea we will see. Will move Frank down at some point, but gotta find a decent place to live that i can afford first. haha

    Don't wait for me! I will be doing it though at some point...

    missing almost 2' of cab and frame is plenty of weight.

    Daaaaamnnnn. I just compared the front curb weight for a 1996 reg cab auto/4x4 and same year ext cab auto/4x4 and there is a 120 lbs difference. That 120 lbs will definitely affect final lift height.

    That was the difference in front curb weight between 4 cylinder reg cab auto/4x4 and V6 ext cab auto/4x4. 120 lbs is a bull bar and a winch. Just like you said, it quickly adds up.
