    Would delrin be suitable for the bushings? Wouldn't tightening on them also tighten give me a similar issue for having the suspension not moving freely? I realize delrin is a lot harder than these bushings. Ever used it for this application?

    Hey not realy LT i guess but I figured you guys know about this type of stuff. Planning on installing Fox 2.0 Performance Series Coil-over IFP part number 985-02-003. I'm perfectly happy with the stock height of the trd and i figure it would make a high quality replacement (just passed 50,000 miles and my shocks are not doing well) with the added bonus of being able to level out the truck at the same time. I'm curious if it would be worth it to install an upper control arm or if the angle was such a small change that it wouldn't matter.

    So Im getting ready to pick up those Built Right rear shock towers. My Q is, once the rear is done wont it be sitting higher than the front? What do I do while Im collecting all of the front stuff. I have the Defined SUA kit already.

    Also looking for some King triples or double 16" bypasses used would be great.

    Yes. I read you should start with the rear. Ran in to some money issues but things are turning around now. I do have some front items already, like Glassworks fenders spindle gussets cam tab gussets TC secondary shock hoops. Just looking for items as they come up.

    if i were you, id wait to do the rear. its going to have a gnarly stinkbug look if your front is stock. i didnt necessarily start with the rear either but i got some suspension to last me till i can LT the rear and upgrade the front.

    Yes. Always start with the rear. It may look stinkbug because of the new leafs. But it wont be that bad.. Its a work in progress :D

    Yeah thats what I thought. But now I have almost everthing to do the rear. I thought about getting some 5100s for the front while I get the rest of the front items. Would the 5100s level the front enough not to look stupid?

    yes. i was going to recommend the 5100's to you... they're less than $200 for the pair.

    their performance will be severely lacking compared to the rear end, but they're def better than stock
