    Well to be specific my spindle broke but lesson learned I ordered a new one and some gussets for extra reinforcement. Anyone who is planning on getting a similar setup as me with coilovers and uniball UCA's should really get these weld on gussets for spindle support as the extra stress gets put on them with your new extended droop travel. It's not the end of the world to buy a new spindle they're not horribly expensive but I think we can all agree we like spending money on modding our trucks and not repairing them.

    Link the the Spindle gussets - http://www.chaosfab.com/1996-2004-Tacoma-Weld-on-Spindle-Gussets-59697

    Also I made a video of this recent experience! I'd appreciate if you guys checked it out!
    I make frequent videos updating my build!

    Lol I've told so many people over the years 50$ gussets are cheaper than bending a spindle but you'd be surprised how few listen. Pretty sure if I didn't have them I'd have destroyed mine years ago
