    I have thought about it but there is just to many small details that need to be done to install it for it to be a kit for others to install.

    Holy flat tire, Batman.... I just went through all 14 pages of this build thread.

    I guess a Raptor style grill and BHLM are not high on your list of mods.

    Your work is awesome!

    The giant links are pretty proven. Geoff makes a good product and I wouldn't be afraid to run them at all. I actually talked to him about it before I build my setup. If they would of made links that would work with the short bed I would of probably ran them. I have known Geoff for a long time and he's a really good stand up guy. The nice part is you don't have to run a upper link. That was the hardest thing to make work on mine. Took some clearancing of a few things to work.

    Geoff Falzone/ GIANT Motorsports has been around for a long time. His stuff is race proven and I have seen many guys win races on his stuff. My buddy ran his Linked trailing arms for many years with no problems. Guy is super good with I-beams also!
    Alright, who is putting I-Beams on their Yota?? haha j/k:D

    So one of my really good buddies is getting married soon, so we planned his bachelor party with some off roading. We went from barstow to laughlin and back via mojave road. It was just shy of 300 dirt miles. Trip went awesome! It was the trucks first long distance trip too and had zero issues besides the rear springs being to soft for a full truck, all the camping gear for the 4 of us plus lots of adult beverages. Oh and we thought it would be awesome to wear suits the whole time.
