    We have been extremely busy with other projects. We are talking with a machinist about making a run of the adapters because we know people want them.

    Ya know, I asked this last night & thought I had my head wrapped around it but looking again , think I'm unravelling.....But correct me here.. in this pic , is this ride height ?? I was told it was full droop but I just looked at pic again & that can't be possible w/coilover still on the lower correct ??

    This would be the linear, well not linear but "default" ride height with regards to the alignment specs & with regards to the CV's are you still using or rather is it still the industry standard to use the Tundra CV's ?
    ( I know theres some pricey aftermarket axles as well)

    Thank you

    You have to modify the tundra cv in order to get more droop

    smash in the pinch weld and do the cab mount chop like anthony said. and you should clear i was just barely rubbing with the DTF kit which has a bit more travel than your chaos kit

    I don't have any completed pics of the CMC. you get the idea though! You have glass so not sure what you need to do to fenders. I cut 4" out of my stockers for the +2 kit

    AS far back & as structurallty sound/close to the mount/gromett as you can generally, we'd plate them off after the cut
