    Alright guys, I'm finally getting ready to mid travel my 2015 DCSB TRD O/R. I went out to Kartek in corona at the beginning of the summer and got all my suspension parts. I picked up the OEM 2.5" kings (coilovers and smoothies), I also bought the Total Chaos uniball UCA's, and some Deaver j66 leaf springs with the proper u bolts. Besides all of the hardware and components that come with said suspension parts is there anything I am missing? A buddy of mine and I are hoping to knock out this project the weekend following the Fourth of July before I head back to Flagstaff AZ for nursing school. Thanks in advance!
    Also apologies if this is in the wrong forum section..

    id recommend an ECGS front diff bushing, just do it... its 60 bucks and saves you from front diff vibes down the road.

    About the only other thing might be carrier bearing drop... which can easily be done with some 50 cent washers from the hardware store (no need to buy a "cb drop kit" as thats all they are)

    Hey nd4spdbh, are you talking about the 8" clamshell cv bushing?

    You don't need to do a carrier bearing drop or replace front diff bushings unless you actually have a vibration problem. Most trucks won't. That's throwing money at a problem that doesn't exist. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

    My advice to you is to put anti-seize on every bolt you touch, and lock-tight as appropriate.

    Hopefully you picked up a spanner wrench for the coil overs when you bought them, so you can adjust for the ride height you want. Probably want to crank the driver's side just a bit more than the passenger to counter the taco lean (gas tank + battery + driver all on the same side makes the truck lean to the driver's side).

    Have fun and take it slow and easy. It's not a hard job; but if you rush through things it can become one.
