    On the Bump stop thing, on a 2nd gen TC kit you could probably run a hydro bump to strike on the tube going through the arm, like how username looks like he set his up in his pic. A strike plate on top of it would be nice for scrub if the bump isn't set up just right or you need to re-align in the future.

    I like hydro bumps on kits that use the stock coil buckets because you can set them up to actually limit your travel before your coilover bottoms out and bends your coil buckets when you're getting sick with it.

    That and a cross brace from coilbucket to coilbucket.

    Thanks, sent him a PM to see if it was sold. Couldn't find a thread he had with it.

    Thanks, hopefully one can be found before that.

    Thinking about going. Probably...
    Edit: after thinking about it, between the flights, hotels and week off work, i'd cost me around $3000 probably. Taking into account what I wouldnt be earning in my week off.
    Probably not worth it. I'd rather spend that on my next trip with my truck

    Well, things are looking up for me so my truck might be staying. Right now I'm running ICON extended travel coilovers & camburg UCA's up front. I'm thinking of going LT in the front. Can I use the coilovers & UCA's that I already have or do I need new ones? What all is needed? Also, I want to run 35's but I don't want giant fenders. Who makes a good fender that won't look over sized? Thanks for the help!
