    Does anybody have two misalignment spacers for 1" Uniball for 9/16" Bolt , the ones they use on Total chaos Tacoma midtravel arms.

    You'll never have to sell it if you destroy it first.

    Sounds like a better option than dealing with Craigslist.

    Just make sure whatever ends the truck's life ends up on video with viral worthy carnage and you can make up the difference off of YouTube. It's ironic - Craigslist seems to benefit people selling piles and hurt people selling well cared for rigs. Way of the world. #bettertoburnoutthantoenduponCL

    Anyone know the size of the bolt to turn the crankshaft with? I need to get one so I can take the pistons out of the block I'm working on (5vz). Thank you.

    Cut and extend the fill neck and the other 2 hoses. Or reach under the fender.

    I'm sorry I read your post wrong. It's a 19 mm socket to take it off, I don't know the bolt size

    I might just suck it up and see if a dealership has one in stock since I'll need one eventually anyway. I read one guy was told $18 for it at one place so hopefully I can get a cheap one for now and buy one from an online dealer site eventually.

    Wanna drop my rear ride height 2-3". Current spring rate is 400/500 (what solo told me to run) thinking of changing tender to 250 or 300. Need opinions on what to do. It rides super plush and is not stiff at all but not sure if I need to change both springs or just tender

    Could just get shorter springs if it already rides plush, obviously you lose up-travel. I don't know if a lighter spring rate would be the best for your handling, body-roll and if you have to make an evasive maneuver. 250 or 300 just sounds like witchcraft.

    I ended up being able to rotate it by hand. It got really easy once a couple pistons (the ones I already could get to) were taken out. Thanks for trying to help.

    I also don't want my 35" tire to take up my entire bed

    Anyone selling a y tire strap? I'm tired of running no spare

    Most people are running 200/300 or pretty close to it

    With a camper shell and one 35" spare 250/350 wouldn't even hold my truck up. If one person jumped in the bed it was on the bumps. I had to go up to 400/450, I'm pretty sure @nfs257 runs 450/550.
