    Yeah... 1st gen Taco shackles are a bit different then the 2nd gen Tacos folks. The whole ranger hanger design really threw me off.

    I'm going to ask the guys in this thread because I feel like y'all will understand what I'm trying to say.

    Ok, so I know that a lot of LT guys solid mount their LCAs and use heimed uppers to adjust the alignment. My question is, can you solid mount a set of stock LCAs and use a set of stock length heimed UCAs, such as Icons, to adjust the alignment?

    I know that, the only money im looking at would be the cost of the heimed uppers and the metal to reinforce the lower mounts. Let me rephrase the question for you. Would it be feasible to do? Would it work properly?
