    Lol, yea the DB anonymous thread. Forgot about that one.

    A few other guys paid shops to repair the crossmember and a few did it themselves.

    This made a night and day difference compared to the top spacer:

    Even though, BDS and Fox are some of the worst companies to deal with...

    I will sooner or later, but since I got the fabtech drop bracket they haven't been an issue so far. And the don't touch on full droop.

    Only 5k miles on them :boink:

    Just came across this thread. Due to a broken OEM Spindle I got the Fabtech kit to replace it. Wish the DB hung like the 2nd gen 1st gen sits stupid low. But hey, it works. Plan to did a linked SAS in the future :thumbsup:

    So what would you say the differences are that you notice?
    I swapped mine for some SPC's. They definitely help with the alignment.
    Nice rig man :thumbsup:

    Actually aligns fine with the stock UCA's since the bracket drops the full six inch :)

    It's a lot smoother ride than it was before (3rd gen suspension with the 700lbs coils and the spacer). It was kinda harsh actually....

    Had to swap to Eibach 700 coils though, since the standard 600 wouldn't support all my weight up front

    Thanks! She's a work-in-progress. Got me through my final year and a half of school after my TL-S was totaled. Hoping more funds will allow me to start building more quickly :headbang:

    There is soooo much stuff on here to inspire you. There is a whole thread for "free mods" to help move you forward when you got the mod bug but not the $$$.

    Oh believe me, I know haha. I've done quite a bit already. Deck plate, removed the extra crap off the stock air intake, Fabtech front/Toytec& OME rear lift, exhaust, bumper, pretty much every audio aspect inside. Now I'm starting to get into patch collecting:frusty: haha. Really starting to look into a dual battery setup. I'm gonna need it

    Still have tons of plans though. I don't ever plan to get rid of it. The next easy mod I'm gonna do is relocating the breather

    Yea I got 4 patches a few days ago. Pro tip, they will send you a discount code of 10% over 50$ after you buy. So buy a few small, then use the code to go big.

    Patch graveyard is just good surfin

    @SMKYTXN owns Trail Toys and hes been making limited patch sets. I suggest going to visit him. The mall rated patch is a must as well as a Trail Toys patch.

    Ok so my truck rides like crap. i got distracted and haven't finished buying and installing what I need. I completely destroyed my front two tires from not even being close on alignment with stock uca's. I also took my sway bar off and now this thing is unsafe to drive. Gonna start dumping more money into it again so what are the best uca's for alignment purposes. 700 is about what im willing to spend and if anyone wants to sell there hardware from removing the swaybar im interested. putting sway bar back on and buying uca's. oh and btw I bought some coilovers that put my truck at 8"+ of lift with stock ucas you could imagine where my angles are at. The truck looks amazing but sucks to drive.
