    Too bad they don't work with a tundra conversion, 16" is where its at! Tires are still $300 cheaper for a set vs 17"

    Thank you for the heads up! Someone else sent me a PM about it too. Those seams should've been welded together I guess. Planning on doing that this weekend.

    about to pick up a set of kings but the top cap is 90* (layout 3) so the resi sits on the side. is it as simple to get a new top cap to make it normal (layout 1)?

    They will probably have you send them the shocks in order to do it. The top caps are machined per shock to line up right.

    Top caps should be the same but just the threads start at different rotations around the bottom is my guess.

    Any second gen 4x4 guys had issues with their a-trac not working? I noticed mine wasn't working on my last trip to Moab and I can't figure out why. I've checked and tested the switch and it's fine, even jumped it to eliminate a bad button as the problem. Can't seem to find a wiring diagram; so I don't really know where to go from here.

    Anyone have thoughts? Wiring diagram maybe?

    I know it's the perfect excuse to just throw a proper locker in, but funds are severely lacking for that kind of fix.

    Thanks

    That's pretty cool. What size wheel spacer you go with in the rear?

    What are your alignment numbers and wheel specs? Is it rubbing when cycling the suspension at full bump or just during normal driving?

    Thanks. I don’t have the truck this second. But had it aligned again with +3.5 caster on each side. Have print out in truck. Just rubs while turning sharp and or hitting bumps while turning.

    What are the wheel specs. Only time I’ve seen 33’s rub fiberglass during normal driving was on a truck that had wheels that weren’t in spec for tacomas
