    LOL!! Like the body of your truck being in a different location than the rest of it when a Prius rear ends you at 15mph at a stop light. :rofl:

    Some people in a house attached to a garage in Bolingbrook Il where a certain tacoma was built have called it the greatest leaf spring toyota ever. It's called the link killer and it uses free land cruiser leaf springs, flux core welded in place using your eyeballs. It's so great you dont really need a tape measure or to use math it install the kit. It has out performed a few other leaf spring toyotas in a handful of grueling, hungover, wheeling trips since its creation. It uses a technologically advanced and revolutionary forward shackle design that was pioneered in the early 1940s on the willys jeep, the jeep that liberated europe, but probably also used on horse drawn buggies since the pioneer days. It's the perfect marriage of technology and history. Kits start at $25k.

    Rockslayer says,
    "Additionally, a leaf spring set up sets your center of gravity very high which causes stability and balance issues across the board."

    I don't wanna tip over. You can't fool me with your LinkKiller scams.

    Just keep in mind most his kits require a 3 in body lift to fit his 20 in oris that provide 20 inches of wheel travel.

    For those of you that run fiberglass, what brand and width do you run? I'm still ifs, and likely will be for quite a while but SAS is in the plans for the far future. I royally messed up my bedside today and am looking at taking the chance to swap for glass. I figure you want to keep the truck thin, but if your running 60s or a 14 bolt, wont the tires stick out anyway? Looking for the least amount of buldge, but aside from mcneil 2" buldge, 0" rise, it seems like everybody only makes 4" bulge. Love the way these trucks look SASed with glass, figured I could get a few years head start on a part of it.
