    I've fallen in love with the options of the TJM haha

    My steering is loosed, and could benefit from the tack weld mod. But it's not that bad. I'll do it some day.

    Coilovers probably won't happen for me until at least next year. I'm happy with my current front suspension anyways.

    I should probably get mine belined before I get a bed rack... We'll see....
    So are you doing MT, LT, or SAS? Haha

    I like LT but don't want the extra width. I'll just cut the firewall some day... Haha

    I think I'll end up doing both the deck plate and snorkel.

    Yea, the price point is really good to ('specially compared to the warns i was looking at)

    I almost bought some OME coils from DSMS before i did my lift, but i wasn't sure i'd be happy with the ride, so i didn't.

    He's doing MT CO's, on LT arms, with solid spindles.

    I don't particularly want the width, but since we're 4x4 we're limited to the 2'' over kit unless we want custom CV's, so i should still be narrower than my sis's 2nd gen, which i'm fine with.

    I like the way the snorkels look, but i wish they looked more like the 2nd gen snorkels.

    Yeah, idk what else I'd get if I wasn't going to get a TJM. A lot of people got with Engo for cheaper.

    My Bilsteins are stiff, but I like the ride on the highway.

    2" is the most I'd want. I din't even know there was a 2" kit out there for us. The one's I usually see are like 3.5" on each side. You just run Tundra axles.

    I like the snorkels, haven't noticed the difference in how they look. My only concern was when clearancing for 35's but somebody said it shouldn't be an issue.

    I think I'll go MT and then suspension will be done for at least 10 years. Then I might do SAS. Just depends on where I'm at in life.

    The spindles are for height so I don't have to put any preload on the coils

    If you did one would you cut out the crossmember or leave it?

    Meant to say my Eibachs are stiff, of course... :eek:

    Yeah, I would probably look into LT if it was just 2". If only AllPro made a 1st gen version of their 2" LT kit...

    Extended length should be about 22.5
    Collapsed length is about 14.6
    Total travel is about 7.9"
    Do it. Get a DB lift and then add 3" on top of that ;)

    He'd have to cut the crossmember so he can mount the LCA's lower.

    I heard somewhere you didn't have to cut the crossmember on 2wds that shouldn't be true for me cause mines the same shit up front as a 4wd minus all the spinny parts and what not lol

    Yeah, you still have to haha The whole point of the DB is to lower the front 3rd and the LCA's. Since you don't have any axles up front. You just need it to loew the LCA's.

    You could probably custom fab something to lower the LCA's and keep most of your clearance.... Or you could get a 4" drop bracket lift and then add spindles plus 3" coilovers on top...
