    Sorry if this question has been asked before or if it's stupid to ask. Needed to say that in advance. New to Tacoma's and love learning.

    Do I need to disconnect any tie rods or ball joints to change the front stock coil overs out to be Icon coil overs?

    I purchased a new set of Icon coil overs and they arrive any day now and I would like to install them. My truck already has light racing UCA's installed.

    Any tips would be great. Thanks.

    The spindle is connected to the UCA with a balljoint ;)

    My Tacoma is a 2005, do you think it will come apart easy enough?

    Since you have LR arms you could just unbolt the camber bolt on the upper balljoint to avoid having to remove the balljoint from the tapered shaft on the spindle.

    The rust will be a determining factor in how difficult it is.

    Thanks for the tips. I should probably just message you when I do the rear suspension instead of asking everyone eh? Lol. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
