    Just an FYI,

    Border Boots in Yuma has Redwing Chukka boots on sale for $164.00.

    Looks like you could use a new pair.

    Thank you,

    Come again.

    Well i figured out the issues without any major modifications. first of all i fixed the turning issue with the spidles. turns out there needs to be v's in the side plates to allow the spidles to turn.

    next i got the up travel maxed unless i cut the frame.

    Check out what my boy made. It's not for a Taco, but rather a 1500 Ram. It's a 14" lift spindle and UCA. 4wd BTW. Dunno if this can help you in any way....but maybe.
