    Rides great, I’m about to get a Camburg 3.5 LT kit and I plan on adding a triple bypass to the front end with a bumpstop and limit strap in the coming year but basic LT in a month or 2

    lol you selling your UCAs? I just bought her some used donahoe(Icon) extended travel coilovers.
    Did you need extended brake lines up front?
    I'm thinking of using @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc 8 leaf for the rear. If they can get me a deal *cough* *cough*

    I am but my whole front end sold in 30min after putting it up for sale lol no I did not need extended brake lines at all with full droop my UCA hit my coilover and I still had slack. I almost went the same route but I sometimes jump my truck and so I went deavers cause it’s a softer landing lol btw I hated rebuilding icons coilovers they were a pain in the ass compared to the other top brands out there haha

    Damn that was fast!
    Alright that's good one less thing to buy.
    I'm still in the air between the Deaver j59 8 leaf, Wheelers 8 leaf and the all-pro standards :confused:

    Awwww lol why were they a pain?

    Yeah I heard deaver(opinion based nothing concrete) was the softest so that what I went with for Off row use but I can say I love the way the deavers handle especially Off road. And the icons just like to not used your basic tools to get the top hat off and their stem was hard to get my nitrogen tank to hook up too cause they had the stem surrounded in metal to protect it but was so close it was hard to fill up to desired psi. Fox, Swayaway, and king have been the easiest to rebuild for me. Actually thinking about it I forgot that deavers had me sitting really high in the back so I had to preload the shit out of my coilovers to even it out but with the extended travel you have it might be okay. My rear end still sat a little higher even after

    Yeah it's going to be a while and I'm going to be looking for the best deal possible on the leafs.
    Ah ok hopefully they last a while. They recently got rebuilt. I've only done kings and foxes on mine too.
    My rear end on my Tacoma was high too! I made a bastard leaf pack and it had my rear high(Stink bug) I ended up putting spacers up front on top of the coilover and rebump/restraped to sit level, before I had to crank the crap out of the springs and it had like 1-2" of down travel lol. It worked out with the spacer though I had it exactly even 4" up 4" down for the front and 8"up 8" down in the rear. Now with the DMZ spring under the rear end sits lower so I'm going to redo my rear shock mounts and take the spacer out of the front and install/fab up my hydro bumps I have sitting in my room. My setup is more "Complete and finished" just need to bump,strap everything, button up little things.

    I’m pretty set on upgrading to LT. I’m off Carson and palo verde. Wouldn’t mind saving some extra bucks putting on the kit myself with a couple taco brothers

    damn that’s crazy that I haven’t seen your truck around. Yeah I definitely will need tools. What do you do for a living man?
