    I think you’ll sell a few tundra rack setups. I know I would take one whenever my current rack goes. Solo is too expensive and marlin will probably never release theirs. I think your pricing would be spot on for the service/ ready to go assembly as well. I just want to be able to turn my damn tires while crawling and not worry about something breaking.

    Exactly... I literally hardly hit a hard edge bump at speed with 37s and snap the mount off a stock rack lol

    Yeah, you'll sell some racks. That price will be right in the sweet spot, hopefully you can make some money doing them too.

    I’d be interested in having you do the machine work. I’d take care of the rest.

    Didnt realize that the lack of a sway bar was a complaint on LT trucks.

    Or did someone close yet another up-sell on you?? :rolleyes:

    Not what total chaos votes for and I trust their expertise and opinion. Worst case it’s an easy bolt off.

    Was premature on pressing the post button.

    I’m well aware of what the product is.

    Not a complaint but a desire to have stability and not loose the wheel travel. What’s wrong with that lol ? Have you personally test it out? If not, how can you say it’s anothet upsell ?

    No, I have not “tested” the product out but I’ve driven/rode in numerous LT trucks and never had the desire to have a sway bar on one, regardless of what their marketing says.

    That’s the difference between you and I. Willing to go outside the box you’re not ;) to each it’s own like I said before. I just hate when someone comes out saying something is wrong without having any clue what they are talking about

    Fair point. I don’t believe I said something was wrong with your setup though. Just, IMO, a product that isn’t necessary for this application and I would personally not spend the money on it.

    I’m by far not nearly the most knowledgeable person on this thread/forum but I do know the different applications between a 10” or 12” shock. I figure that holds some kind of value. :infantry:

    Ok. It sort of sounded like you were saying it’s “wrong” for a min. I see your point. I ran my other vehicle without it, when the choice what is being made for this particular set up total chaos came up with this brand new product and I was willing to pay the money and test it out since the claim for what it does appeals to me doesn’t mean that it’s wrong or right. I don’t know yet I haven’t driven the truck after it’s been installed but if I’m right then it’s great and me pushing the bar proved successful, if I’m wrong I don’t give a shit since I could always take it out and sell it to the next guy that doesn’t know the difference between 10 or 12” shocks

    You really dont "need" a front swaybar on non centermount A arm trucks...there really isnt alot of leverage goin on to warrant it in offroad situations...now if you have a linked rear..pretty much mandatory to have a rear one or else your truck 3 wheels around corners. A front bar sure itll help its onroad handling but its gunna hinder the offroad aspect a pretty fair amount...it wont be as smooth

    Yes
    So ...connecting the independent front suspension systems together hinders the performance of an independent front suspension ?
