    Its is at a slant but its a perfect 90 degrees when the suspension is at full compression utilizing 100 % of the shock. It fit perfectly and compresses nice. I designed it like that. Thanks I happy with how it works. Ill have more pics soon.

    Yes i do plan on selling the machine clevis. I plan on making a replacement tierod kit for the tacomas. I do believe they are the same bolt 14mmx1.50x1.5in.

    I want to do a long travel for a 2nd gen 5 lug but no one has stepped up and offered their truck for the first prototype kit. Any takers!!!!!!

    Sweet kit there. I really like the spindles. Convincing me to upgrade my kit already. Are you still thinking of upgrading the steering to something maybe like P/U style to get away from that factory rack?

    Madtaco461 I like your truck looks really good. Jd makes some great parts but i wasnt a fan of them using the stock spindle. I know they changed it and made a fully fabricated spindle with there new kit. I have been looking into making the rack stronger. I trying to do it as cheap as possible to save you guys money. Im just about finished with my truck, the suspension cycles really nice and it looks insane. even better than the pics. Youll have to come by the shop some day and see it in person. Youll have to take me to some of your local stomping grounds to see what my kit will do.
