Finally overhauling suspension, am I missing anything?

    Hey all, I've been away from these forums for a little while due to the birth of my son, being a father has consumed my life for the past year but I think I might finally be able to get back on track with my truck build :cool:

    I've been collecting suspension parts for a while and think I might finally have everything I need to get the job done.

    Here's what I have on hand:

    - TRD Pro front/rear suspension kit
    - Headstrong 3-leaf AAL with ubolts
    - OME carrier bearing drop
    - 1/4th inch top plate spacers
    - 2-4 degree axle shims
    - leaf pack center pin head lengtheners
    - JBA STD high caster UCAs
    - ECGS axle bushing with removal tool

    My plan is to start this on a Friday night and have the truck back on the road by end of weekend. Or sooner. :)

    Can y'all think of anything at all that I might want to have on hand for this? I have all the tools for the job, I believe. I just don't want to get halfway in and realize there's something else I really should be replacing..

    Thanks all!

    Depending on height, maybe extended brake lines.

    I think this will raise the truck about 2". That's what I'm hoping for at least. Think I'll need to mess with the brake lines for that? Or some sort of bracket relocation?

    PS dang this forum is moving fast these days :thumbsup:

    You likely won't need extended brake lines. Your rear shocks will limit that travel before your brakes get extended.

    Seems like you've got the whole set up.

    Dont forget that NLGI #2 grease and a gun!
