    Yeah I have metal ties but I'm waiting to finish my v8 swap before I finish mounting them up. I actually ended up making my own upper control lol. Do you have part numbers for the qa1's so we can update the info? Also I know your currently selling those bushings but do you have part numbers for those incase someone years later come on trying to figure it out?

    Yeahhh I bought a used urd supercharger then after it broke after a month installed, I went turbo. Then I had an exhaust leak that I mistook for something in the head so I went v8. Almost done but I'm glad I went v8

    What did you do total for the 5160s? Just an AAL and the shocks? What do you have in the front to go with it?

    That's what I hated the most about the supercharger and the turbo system. I was afraid to drive it hard. Now with the 1uz I can bounce rev limiter all day and be fine. The transmission even bolted into the stock location since it's also an a340e

    The front has the spacers, for the rear (it has the Fat Bobs AAL) I just replaced the FBG shocks with the 5160s.

    The leveling kit from fat Bob says 2wd will this work on a 4wd? Also will I need new strut’s upfront? Or is this just bolt on? I have an 05 with 87k miles trd off-road

    just up front and keep the rear stock? I’m new to this just trying to figure it out. Can you elaborate a little more? Thanks

    Dumb question. But does anyone know if I can use XR suspension on my base 5 lug?

    For the v8 swap stuff I have a thread here
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/5-lug-furys-v8-swap.635262/

    For the shocks towers I used a ruff stuff tower and it fits perfectly between our uca mounts.
    https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/STOWER975.html

    I stuffed a 8" travel king but would advise to wait as me and a few others are still working on making sure the total chaos arms clear the whole travel. I have to eventually remake my arms as they hit on droop currently.

    I have the total chaos icon mid travel up front, and the icon mid travel in the rear plus an ATO shackle flip. Are you guys making long travel arms or what? I have an archive of the long travel bolt on parts from all angles and am working with someone who has the kit to get the measurements. I'd be all over recreating the TC ucas and lcas if someone had the skill!!!

    Naw I'm not doing long travel. I'll be doing a solid axle swap in a few years. My goal is to just maximize the stock geometry.
