    Ive been considering linking the rear instead of going the SUA route. Ive had my eye on the Giant dd link. I dont want to have to move my fuel tank and want to keep as much bed space as I can. Is anyone here running that setup that can shed some light on it. Likes/dislikes? What youd change or add to it?
    Also on the site it says you dont need bypasses right away, why is that? New to most of this so still learning and trying to get as much info as possible! Thanks in advance!

    If you're Washington I'm assuming this is more of a play truck that's not running extremely rough trails, so you should be fine without bypasses

    Yeah I wouldnt be running extremely rough trails unless I end up moving back to CA or when I come down to visit family haha. If Im not running bypasses, would I need stiffer coils? New to this so please excuse any stupid questions.

    Overall it's great, has some issues but it will work better on a Tacoma than my tundra.

    I'll be the one to say it..... TTB beams are insanely over rated. If you want them buy an old ford. Grafting them on a Toyota is retarded. Flame on

    Ditch the air shocks and run a single upper link to set the pinion. I'm running 600psi in mine and it's still not enough but I have a lot of torque, low gearing and a very heavy axle

    Oh okay I saw the single upper link on DMCtacoma's build. Yeah probably come down to trial and error when I am able to get it on and set up im sure. Are you looking at running 650 or even going up to 700?
