    Have people been torquing their ball joint nut to only 45 ft lbs as recommended? Just seems low to me.

    Does to me on something that critical. For example on the TC ones they recommend 100 ft lb (just watched their install video to get an idea of what to do)

    i wanna get the non heavy duty arms but i want the poly bushings that come in the heavy duty one, i dont want stock taco bushings. But the only way to get the upgraded bushings is to buy the arm raw un powdercoated.. then there would be more cost for me to coat them before installation.

    Damn!!! I read a bunch of random pages here and loved the reviews and how these aren’t built, jumped the gun and ordered these for my 2016 Tacoma buuuuuuuut im running 255/85r16 with the stock trd off road wheels. I then saw after on the page that this won’t work!?!?? Any insight on this. I already tried to cancel but just my luck he’s at Sema and can’t get ahold of him yet someone is still shipping these!! I really don’t want to put wheel spacers on but for what it’s worth what’s the smallest spacer I would need if any

    Interesting. I'm also running 255/80r17 and am going to install these soon. Worst case I'll get some small spacers to clear it.

    the poly bushings should last longer and as stated by one other member there the oem bushings are a bitch and a half to replace.

    Yeah I'm in the same boat as the other guy. I'll run them and if it rubs, get some 3/4" spacers from bora to throw in the front. Only $100 for a pair of them, which isn't bad.
