    I just re-read his post saying he purposely left 1.5 inches of shaft travel on the table at full bump.

    I thought maybe the angle of the camera made it look like the bump was touching the arm but it wasnt. I was wrong.

    1.5 inches of shaft... or rather an inch with .5 for safety.... that’s probably 1.5 at the tire...
    maybe no safe up space for everything

    It's kind of hard to see, but my UCAs at full bump are pretty close to the fender well. I know it doesn't look like it in the picture. I have a trip to Oceano dunes in October. I want to see how it does at this current setup. I may very well adjust them upwards later.

    All of the long travel kits i know of will punch through the fender when properly bumped, so your's would be no exception. Because up travel is so precious and key to making trucks go fast I would encourage you to take full advantage of all the available up travel you can while you have it apart. With it all apart it is way less work than tearing it back down later..... Now I'm going to contradict myself and say, if you are extremely close to having it in the dirt and are itching to get done, then run it and have fun till you want to upgrade/change later.

    Post pics/vids from Pismo (assuming it gets re-opened)!

    Good info, I appreciate the input. I'll be honest, I am just itching to get it done. In a few weeks, I have a trip to Oceano Dunes, CA. I'm sure that trip will give me more perspective on what I need to adjust.

    Removed my factory inner tie rod and aluminum spacer and replaced it with a Camburg Steering Heim Clevis Kit and a solid piece 4130 chromoly tie rod from Kartek.

    @m00seNUckLEz your trucks looking nice!

    I was at Zona Motorsports today talking to them about doing some work on the back half of my Tundra. Really nice guys. The owner is committed to quality, building really cool stuff that can take some punishment. Great attributes for offroad fabrication.

    Clean shop. Well laid out. Couple cool long term projects in the works. Saw some nice boxed Chevy LCA's on the shelf. Sounds like they wanna do a full Toyota LT line up with fabricated spindles.

    After learning more about their processes. I'm impressed. They get a 3D scan of the frontend on each generation of trucks prior to starting their design process. This allows them to obtain the highest level of detail to base their CAD designs for their LT kits. No small feat, because they have to trailer the truck to Phoenix for the scan.

    Props to Bobby and Josiah. Hope they go BIG!

    Did you have to cut the stock upper shock mount out to install this kit?
