    It was a joke;)

    Man that sucks!

    What did you have on there, Moog?

    Couldn't you SAS and use leafs for now and add links in the future or is that a pain?

    That would be a pain. I don't think linking would cost that much more than leafs anyway. :notsure:

    Why all this talk of solid axle? What happened to LT?

    So you're saying you just went through all that trouble due to a LBJ faliure, and you didn't replace the one on the other side?

    Do it. Its not cheap but 100% worth it for the peace of mind. I knocked mine out in 1.5 hours start to finish. Super easy.

    Plus Camelback Toyota had them to my door way faster than I ever expected.
