    I use the Makita 1/2" cordless impact. I just rotated the tires on an 8 lug diesel on one battery no problem. That's 32 lug nuts off, 32 nuts back on with plenty of juice to spare. I chose the Makita because I already had the battery and charger... if you don't already have a cordless drill and just want a cordless impact it is hard to beat the Snap-on mother of all impacts, but it's a spendy focker.

    I used Chris at BBM offroad, he had the best prices. Way cheaper than going through kar-tek/total chaos.

    $46 a Uniball from us before TW hook up.

    Plenty in stock. These are FK Teflon lined as well, not crappy QA1 or midwest control bearings.

    you would have to remove it from the spindle and should be able to leave the UCA attached if you have this tool

    if not you have to remove it. which isnt too hard. and hammer it out with a socket after you take the snap ring out

    I'm ordering king shocks tc kit for my 1st gen 4x tacoma. My question is what kind of hose are you guys running? straight, 90 degree? And are you guys running standard heim spacers on the shocks? and if anyone has their c/o pretty dialed can someone recommend valving? 3.4L engine 4x4 standard prerunner bumper. Any help is appreciated! and thanks in advance

    Make sure King builds it with the low profile 90 or you will likely sheer off the fitting. Originally I had the standard fitting and under full bump a few times the whole thing broke off. Standard vs low pro:
