    They lag hard. Waited so long for my rear setup and had to change a bunch of shit anyways. Glad I went Dirt King for my front end. They handled business pretty well and their kit takes a beating

    Got it. Didn't look like that was an option, at least from dsm. But I'm sure with any company you can special order whatever you want, just gonna be time and money

    Hey guys, I am in the process of removing my bedsides in prep for rear LT in the next upcoming months. The write-up isn't perfect, but figured it would be nice to have some sort of article to exist in the TW archive.

    Anyway, if any of you LT vets care to offer insight in the write-up, or just want to say hello...please do! My hope is for future guys to have a decent documentation of what it takes to remove the bedside and to clear up the mystery that some believe it is not bolt-able, when it clearly is.

    This is why I sell the complete assemblies. Many times it is just not worth the extra headache of trying to press out the old hub! Thanks for the order!

    He has motor mount gussets I know. I guess I could call him. I got my Sua from him should be here today.
    I was wondering if there was a write up or some thing I have a tubing bender and can weld but I don't know exactly what I'm doing with how a cage/ beam should work.

    Yea talking to Tim is always a good idea. If anything he has the "build" section on his site that you could check and compare the pics of where he did the engine/bucket brace. That's all I got though.

    After LT I have no money for super charger. But your right, I can see that being an issue.

    Might be worth asking some of the other guys here on their measurements. I think @VolcomTacoma just did this right?

    You also may want to talk to dirt designs. They make some shock tower brace mounts that are pretty cool and will allow you to add a secondary shock hoop if you choose
