    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Takes 30mins a side max if you aren't inebriated :anonymous: and have all the tools ready to go. In my case it was about 45mins a side and about an extra 15mins playing with the pneumatic hammer. 2 beers per side haha

    Beer is a must... But it's not just LBJ... Got icons, UCAs, tie rods, sway bar links, and bushings. Just need to schedule a time to do it all. Shouldn't be too bad. :D

    I was going to do 555 from low range...that was only 400.00 but I plan on having this truck for another 250,000...hence going OEM....

    I'm not sure what other mod I would do that would cover all of this?

    They'll be nearly vertical and tight against the frame. Got the welded rod ends to keep the lower mount as high as possible, but will probably still end up a bit below the axle. Should knock it all out this weekend.

    Well...consider some changes.

    I'd stay oem for lbj and outer tie rods. Inner tie rods idk. You may check out just getting a new rack as it comes with inner tie rods.. But the 555 inner are fine.

    Maybe just get some light racing ucas.

    That's not cheaper. But could be a good way to go.

    Yeah I got ya there.. I don't like the cost either.... I might be good to not do the inners at all... but I want to have them in case I need to when I get there...

    I ultimately want to go with icons... so if i did uca's I would go with the icons or tc's
