    How’s your build going? Been a while since I’ve checked on it.

    Not my setup. I was lazy and just took a picture off ICON's site instead of taking a picture. But no, it isn't necessary.

    No where for at least another 3 years lol I’m going to focus on the front end, still need to do my bumper and engine cage, got around $500 in parts (cam tab gusset, coil gussets and a few other things) and then I want to get it prettier and clean up the interior and when I’m pretty close I’ll probably drive it out to cali and have it back halfed the right way. Important things right now are planning so I don’t screw myself by building an engine cage that doesn’t connect to roll cage and eventual bed cage

    I've got TC tabs and i still think my alignment moved on me after a session at the dunes last summer. Hasn't been driven much lately with doing an engine swap but im sure my caster is messed up. Will know more this summer when i get it aligned before i take it back to the dunes.

    I mean, if you’re already buying bypasses you might as well buy coil overs too and link it lol. I love my setup but I know I want more so as things start to die to the point that it’s more than basic maintenance items I’ll link mine.

    I guess since my setup only has a couple thousand miles it might be worth at least something to sell before i beat it to shit...lol

    Are there off the shelf replacements for TC 1" uniball misalignment spacers (for lca)? Toasted one of mine and can't put truck back together until I replace it.

    Thanks for the response.

    Called TC and the women I spoke to said it's not something likely to find locally. Just the lower half misalignment was $35+ shipping, worth it to know I'm getting the right part I guess.

    Well I take that back. She originally told me that I'd get the part tomorrow and that it was going to be ~$43.00 shipped and that she would send the charged invoice along with the tracking number... I had explained it was important to get part asap as my truck is torn apart half way in my garage so I can't close the door.

    I just got the charged invoice and it was 89$ shipped for the single HALF of the misalignment spacer, and part wont be here until Monday... I thought they had made a mistake so called immediately when i got the invoice and the guy just said "sorry there was a miscommunication on which part you needed"... there was 0 miscommunication on my end and I guess they didn't feel it necessary to update me when they realized the part was actually double what I was quoted. I haven't dealt with TC much but this was not a good experience thats for sure.

    Not sure who that might have been - John I believe his name was, was extremely knowledgeable back when I purchased some replacement bushings. It can be super frustrating explaining things and having someone not be understanding.
