    you can use tc lca's with the maxtracs, just have to run some spacers for the lower unibalol adapter due to the double sheer.

    I had the same dilemma on what to do with the rear shocks that came with my 4" kit. I ordered my set-up through http://www.headstrongoffroad.com and they swapped out the stock white ones for 5100 extended rears (+$100). It's not listed on their site, but give them a call if any of you plan on going with Billies in the rear. Great customer service @ headstrong BTW.

    Are you running a 2 inch block in the back?

    Depends on what model you get.
    An access cab like mine only needs an add a leaf to sit level

    Avoid the blocks if you can due to axle wrap. Toytec has a range of rear lifts that are affordable (TOYTEC Rear lift options)

    Install pics are all over this thread

    On the kit that I'm looking at, it includes a 2.5" strut spacer which would give it a total of 6.5" of lift with the spacer and the spindles. Would I still be able to run stock UCAs? Or would I have to get aftermarket ones?

    You could stay with the stock arms but you probably won't get a proper alignment (caster). Light racing UCAs are a great option. Avoid the spacers if you plan to wheel your truck

    2" blocks are not really a bad thing..... blocks and soft ride like factory or AAL and a stiffer ride (I've had both). Bottom line is the stock leaf packs are crap and will need to be replaced anyways so really 2" blocks or AALs is kinda a coin toss.

    When I first lifted I went with blocks and it was fine with me and I thought drove great, the AALs were a bit stiff and I didn't care for them. Over time I just ditched the factory packs altogether.

    Stock uppers will work fine and it WILL align... Spacers are a inexpensive alternative to new coil overs or Bilsteins... If the truck is a little older it would be nice to install some new struts and if you think about it that would save you some money. Take the $110.00 or so for the spacer and take it off the $200.00 for Billies and you only have to really pay $90.00 bucks more for new Bilsteins.... Just a thought.... Hope that helps...

    Good luck. Brake lines were the most challenging.
    Use channel locks to loosen the 10mm brake line bolts

    10mm line wrenches are the most preferred method!!! I only use Channel Locks or Vise-grips when all else fails.

    True. I did get one off with a 10mm wrench.

    I wouldn't be buying the spacer new though. I have a 3 inch one on currently and the kit includes a 2.5 inch one. So I would be dropping $200 on Bilsteins instead of only an extra $90
