    Cost would be my main guess. Also, I believe you get a lot less feedback through the steering wheel since there's no mechanical link between the two.

    I mean, technically any suspension modification we do isn't street legal...

    full hydro is super sketchy. Have it on our crawlers, aired down 42s you can turn it with your pinky just sitting there, literally feels like your driving a boat.

    I have a complete rear end out of a first gen I will sell you. I think it already has a spring under perches.

    The lack of steering feedback is a problem, but an even bigger problem is if you lose a belt, or your truck is turned off, you have ZERO steering.

    I cut mine a lot for 35s(1st gen)

    To secure the bottom, i drilled a hole in the pinch weld under the cab. Then a hole in the fender. I put a zip tie through the fender as a loop then another ziptie through the pinch weld hole and into the ziptie loop on the fender. works great.

    image.jpg Trimmed front and rear no issues. Cut 3" out of the front all the way down and 4" out of the rear. You'll be fine. Definately line-x/rattle can Bedliner the inside of the fenders or they'll spider crack from rocks hitting them @erok81

    Quick question. Would a Solo motorsports XLT long travel kit for a 2004 4runner (newer body style) fit a 2011 Toyota Tacoma? I doubt it does but maybe someone could prove that inference.
