    To much to list!
    I did it on my truck about 2years back. I would only do it if you plan to never sell the truck and the upper arm is on heims. If you were to put a bolt with washers then get it aligned they will have a hard time aligning it cause they wont have the cam to push the arm into place. Then when you go to drive it it will most likely move. I welded mine into place then found a shop that would do the alignment. First shop really didnt do an alignment like they said and I blew through a set of tires in 300miles. I didnt notice cause it was non stop miles. My friend did the alignment with a tape measure and got it pretty close for me. But in the end I got my friend at just tires to do it for me which took him forever. I had quotes from shops like firestone around 200bucks for an alignment cause I dont have cams anymore.

    Was Cruising the web, well the SMS site and I was going through their "garage" section and was looking at the Silver Tacoma build page on there, and saw this, I always thought that SUA was the way to go with LT Rear, for up-travel reasons and such.

    Description from website says "½ Cage incorporating 16” stroke 3-tube King bypass shocks" so it's running 3.0 Shocks, so it's got some money dropped into it, wondering why it's done this way?!

    Yea, It'd be an ideal for someone like me, just interested to see how to performs in the desert, as well as what it has for travel numbers!

    It may run a 16" shock but it looks like there's only 4-5" of compression from ride height. Sure that's a lot of droop, but when you only need 2 inches of compression to hit the air bumps you're in for a rough ride. Plus, that looks like it's only a 2" air bump in the rear. Most run 4" bumps.

    If they spend a lot of time in the rocks, this could be a good setup.

    You're gonna lose even more up travel with the u-bolt flip.

    I ran a similar suspension early on. It crawled like a champ but damn near rolled me in the desert from the bucking. This is definitely a low-speed setup.
