    I bought my truck (2003 tacoma) with a 6” Rough Country block lift installed and I just got myself some Icon suspension that I am replacing the ugly block lift with. Now everything is going smooth, I’m just moving everything back to its factory mounting points, but the problem comes with the steering rack. Some bolts are OEM bolts while others were different specific to the RC set. If anyone has a diagram of the steering rack with bolts and/or knows which specific bolts I can get, that’d be awesome.

    If it’s a 6” lift, it has to be a drop bracket and idk if icon has coilovers for the 6” lift.

    Are you welding the factory crossmember back on since it was cut out for the drop bracket if you’re moving everything back to their factory location?

    They didn’t cut out the factory crossmember, just bolted a drop bracket underneath. I got just about everything set up but they replaced the bolts to the steering rack. I think I solved that, just went to Toyota and bought new bolts for it. But now I have a new issue. Icon forgot to send the washers for the upper control arms so now I need to find washers. Would washers from a hardware store work or would I need to ask Icon to send me the washers? I don’t really have time to wait for a new shipment though...

    Maybe it's a prerunner, then it wouldn't need cutting.

    You can use the stock washers for the upper control arms.

    It doesn’t have any washers stock.
