    Tacoma trucks with a long travel suspension suffer from the extreme anti-dive in the upper a-arm, and the weak shock bucket. This kit fixes the anti-dive and adds a bypass mount as well as double sheers the upper a-arm. It is a must of you have a tacoma with a long travel kit IMO. This setup also allowed for a much better alignment and take the "wander" out of the steering.

    Obviously, this isn't going to work for all long travel kits due to uniball cups being clocked differently on all of the kits.

    Would be interesting to see a setup with a standard horizontal uniball uca and see how it cycles as a comparison to stock

    Hey what are the chances of him making mounts for just the uca? I’ve got a dirt designs kit but am looking at mounting 10” shocks. Been meaning to talk to Steve at dirt designs about changing the anti dive and mounting the uca differently and this could possibly solve that.

    Correct. The majority of them out there are neutral. So there may be a few it might hinder, but not all or most

    @m00seNUckLEz Hey Ryan, sorry to turn this into a tutorial, what does the term "Anti Dive" mean? Still have a crap load to learn and not much LT knowledge here in the swamp.

    Here is a video that explains it much better than I can:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAbHbGgFWJs

    I'm sure if I attempted to explain it my way someone will jump on me and say I don't know what i'm talking about, etc.

    OK, I thought it was something along the lines of Anti squat for the rear suspension. Now I remember watching his video on A-S last year.
    Good Stuff, Thank You Ryan!
