    Anyone replaced thier stering rack bushings? The TC install says you have to heat up the old ones to get them out? My rack is moving all over the place and I need to replace mine ASAP

    i see that a lot of ppl switch out their F55 for the 67's. what is wrong with the 55's on tacos? And do you have to run 12 inch shackles on 67's?

    THIS!

    They sell the lube on right next to that one. It says Teflon Wax lube. It has a bike chain on it. I'll see if I can upload a pic of the bottle.

    F55's are just too soft, and they sag quickly. i treid a frankenstein set up at first w/ F55's and 9" shackles above the frame. it just didnt work.

    F67's and 12" shackles is the way to go... and the F67's sag out more than i would like them too...

    People want more bump travel, so they run F67.

    12" shackles cycle smoother then the 9"

    Yep. I don't think the factory antenna will mount easily, but NAPA or any other auto parts store sells lots of antennas that will.

    what if you had your first setup shackles below the frame, would that have made any difference?

    what vehicle works well with 55's?

    It's possible and will work, but there is no point to it when you could run 12"s mounted above the frame to get a smoother ride.
