    I think your right. the cross member is likely the same with an increase in spindle/knuckle height and longer shocks or spacers. I was looking at the BDS setups to see and the lower brace looks to be the same.

    OP you can hit whichever company it was from. My guess if it's spacers it's a rough country. (i missed that if you noted it)

    You have a good point! I think at this point the easiest/cheapest route for me is to just replace everything in the rear. The front isnt great but for now it'll do until I permanently decide if I want to keep this truck or not. I literally have one eye on this truck and the other eye on used sales of stock Tacomas on CL/FBM lol. I will let you know which direction I go though! I can never make up my mind I constantly change my mind haha but thanks for helping me out bro, I really appreciate it!

    Hey man this pro comp lift does use different knuckles. I found the lift here https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/pro-comp-6-inch-lift-kit-with-es9000-shocks-k5089b/_/R-DFCW-K5089B and it has a detailed list of what the lift kit comes with. I wish the previous owner had gone with the BDS lift kit...wish I wouldve done more research and was more knowledgeable back then. Dam it. This is what happens when you impulse buy...lol lesson learned.

    6" lift, 35x12.50R20 Firestone m/t, 20x10 XD Spy wheels, Fox shocks/coilovers, dif breather mod, SAIS delete, Alcan +5 leaf springs, U-bolt flip kit, Superbump bump stops, cab mount chop, poly performance leaf bushings, taco tabs, all-pro cam tab gussets, diy fender trim, fender flare delete, pinch weld smash, cloth seat delete + factory leather swap, seat heaters, remote start, 20% tint, ARE camper shell, ... im sure im forgetting something.
    Call accutune offroad and get them to put together some Fox shocks and coilovers for you to ditch the coilover spacers. Then call Alcan and have them build you a leaf pack to ditch the lift blocks. I recently did the same and it was about $5k for Fox coilovers, shocks and leafs doing the install myself. Good luck.

    Do the Alcans squeak? After doing some research, ive seen people report they have squeaking from their leaf springs...notably the dakar sets.

    I haven’t installed the Alcans as of yet. Plan to use poly performance bushings and fluid film and cross my fingers.
