    That or no engine cage so i bet the towers are not only bent up from the coilover but tweak in towards the engine pretty bad

    How many LT tacos have bent frames? Just curious as quite a few people I have talked to in the desert have "tweaked" their frame a little. Just trying to determin how much work is required to gusset and strengthen the frames if you run hard but keep at least 1 wheel on the ground

    I really shouldnt say "upgraded" Hardware, I had a problem with the lower control arm uniball bolt. when I installed it it was too short. I took off the powder coating in the misalignment socket to try and help this. It worked a little but there was still only 1 thread showing out of the nut. I lock-tite the crap out of it and it held for 5 months but I didnt drive the truck all that much. One day I was making a right hand turn and it all came apart, and I had just checked the torque on all the bolts a month earlier. Long story short I have made the same bolts that come in the kit just longer so I can get the minimum 2 threads showing (Im an aircraft mechanic and thats the regs for all fasteners on airplanes). And lucky for me the Aircraft that I work on has the same bolts that cam burg uses just longer.

    And I dont think Im going to separate the Kit unless I have to, since I still drive the truck to work.
