    6'', 8'', and 9'' straps being used with stock length arms. I'm planning on running an adjustable clevis and running it to the lower shock bolt. Can anyone help me figure out what length I should get? Or should I just be different and go with a 7'' :)

    depends where you want to mount the clevis. either way i would mount to the rear of the shock bolt to avoid interference with the TRE

    I understand that. Considering I am going off the lower shock bolt, it should be something like what @Airdog has above

    This is why you should strap. I didn't when I was MT and bent my uniball bolt. now I have to in order to save cv's being LT.

    I like the adjustable clevisb so I'd droop out your truck and measure from wherever you are going to bolt it to your lca to somewhere on your frame. I'm LT with 8" straps. IMG_0677.jpg

    just get a longer bolt for the lower mount and bolt the strap to it on the end.

    I'd say any of those lengths will work using an adjustable clevis and the shock bolt, just a question of how high up the frame you have to weld the clevis mount.

    Based on my experience, I'd go shorter than longer, because I was running out of frame to weld to, and have the clevis cranked down quite a bit.

    It turns out, actually taking a measurement really helps. Who would have thought?? :rolleyes: haha.

    TBH, I wasn't near my truck and was hoping someone had a rough measurement so I could just order the parts. :D This is what happens when I get bored and am in work meetings all day..... :anonymous:

    Core support looks okay, but I forget to weld the support bracket for the front body mount I had to cut back to get the bumper on. Welded it solid, and 90% of the vibration is gone....

    I'll replace all the body mount bushings at some point too.

    Not sure if any of you guys have seen or are apart of any raffle pages on Facebook but i recently joined on a page and am starting to throw some raffles out! definitely thinking about throwing some offroad stuff up there like bumps, bypasses and alot more. even OEM replacement shocks for mid travel

    we have one up right now for a set of wheels of your choice and gift cards for a couple shops that make sliders and have parts for toyotas in general!

    Send me a pm if anyone has any interest!

    Does anyone know if 03-09 4runner/07
    -09 FJ cruiser LCA will bolt up to 05-15 Tacoma? I have a set of Dirt King performance LCA and want to post them but not sure if it'll fit. For some reason DK lists a different PN#, but Total Chaos has the application for the same PN#. I don't want to assume and I asked DK but the sales guy didn't really know. Thanks for the heads up!
