Looks great.

 

OME/ARB tells you that there is no need to change out UCA's. Just to run the D-drop & C-Bearing Spacer.

I didn't, I have Cambrug UCA's that run OE Ball Joints, so no spherical style ball joints on these.

I read a lot about the D-Drop and realized it was more harm then help. Now as far as the C-Bearing spacer, I ran it for a few 100 miles w/o I have recently put it in, it fixed it a bit but still have driveline vibration. I'm doing some research as to what may be the best solution for this problem, not sure yet..?

 

A diff drop won't fix a driveline vibe. It doesn't really even help CV axel angles that much. What it will do (if you go offroad) is potentially cause severe damage to your truck. If you do a TW search on this, you'll find pictures of the carnage.

It is a pretty universal opinion here on TW that diff drops are not necessary and that they should never be installed on our trucks.

Yup, that's the reason I never did it. I'll check out these links, don't think I had seen these before. Thank you brother..!!

 

New bumper

 

That looks absolutely fantastic!

When I (eventually) wear out my existing BFGs, that's totally the size I'm going to use.

 

Nice

 

Some great looking trucks in this thread! Heres mine:

 

Thank you, hands down one of the best sizes for most Toyota's.

 

I was Curious because on a few threads Ive read that anything over 2.5-3 inches in the front can really wreak havoc on your cv's and wear down other components at a more rapid rate. Is there any good solution to keep this from happening?

 

As far as I know, our CVs can handle 3" of lift with no problem. What we run into is the fins on the boots wear thru. But the boots can be stretched out to alleviate this. That's about it.

The diff drop only provides like a 0.2* angle correction or something like that. (someone can correct me). So the diff drop doesn't accomplish much.

What is very important, is upgrading the UCAs for more than 2.5" of lift. For proper alignment and safe drivability.

 

Finally got the time to dip my bottom insert.
Thanks to A7xschecter6661 for the step by step removal. Took me awhile but was totally worth it.

 

Well put..you wouldn't believe how many people I try to tell that you need uca's to achieve proper alignment and no one believes me? I guess its just a myth

 

Looks really good! What was involved in removing the lower valence? I want thinkin about dipping it just tapping everything off.........

 

where did you find them seat covers I have looked every where I cant find them any place I have not looked?
