    I have them with 35s - or 315/75/16 Patagonia MTs - they're great. we got dumped on over the weekend. the LCAs are under there doing their thing hahah ... I still never cut back my steering stops - in my head I tell myself I'm helping the longevity of the CVs.

    No issues so far with these. Clearance gained is definitely noticeable and haven't had any rubbing yet. I may trim my steering stops some more as the turning radius is reduced some.. but leaving them in theory should also help with overextending anything. The stops do dig into the lowers.. but I don't mind.

    Notice any gain in ground clearance?

    Maybe a little. But I didn’t even think about measuring the difference.

    All else remaining equal, changing LCA's shouldn't change ground clearance.

    I'm talking about at the LCA. Some manufacturers provide added clearance at the arms

    Holy shizzz, when did the price jump on these to $2,333
    Been waiting to see if they would upgrade the bump stop landing area on next version and wow! May have just priced me out.

    if you fix, strengthen, upgrade, and put bigger tires on your Tacoma

    you have JDfab LCA pivots
    who also make UCA's, LCA's, and more, to keep it all the same and designed to work together
    which sticks farther out for longer travel, that would also match a wider rear if upgrading axle

    how would these, that have no mention of width on the site, interact with everything else if they were substituted?

    Confused by your question. Are you asking if these change anything regarding to width to the front? If so, then no. They are OEM width.. part of the reason I went with them. No change to track width.

    Your right, I went into checkout and it shows up in Canadian dollars, which is weird because a couple months ago and prior, it was all listed in USD.
    I go down to the US often and have a family address I use there. So how or why it would know where I'm shipping to or what bank I use for currency it shouldn't have a clue. Frickin location algorithms.

    Thanks for helping clear things up.

    Now if BTF would deal with the steering stop landing I'd be full game with a purchase.

    Cheers

    :cheers: Honestly.. if that's the only thing stopping you, just get them. You won't care after the first trime they make contact. The benefits far outweigh that little imperfection. I get corrosion could be a concern for you tho.. it's not an issue for me in Arizona. But I bet some simple preventative maintenance could remedy any ill affects.

    ^^ @Charger92 coincidentally.. during this, I'm having my first Molson at my local bar. It's attached to an Ice Hockey rink.. lol I'm a desert dweller, but I'm digging the environment and the beer isn't too bad either (I'm a Coors Light guy).
