    Yea I called about 6 months ago, I forget the name of the company. I'll see if I can find it again. Do you know if it is at all possible to remove the sway bar underneath also? I'm guessing I'd have to fab something

    And it looks great! I looked at your thread and that's a beautiful truck. I'm just the type that gets worried about messing up something major in the process of DIY haha

    thanks man! she's a labor of love. Yeah it can seem kinda daunting without experience. That is why i really recommend talking to some folks local to you. It's way easier to have someone throw in some pointers/lead you in the right direction. Of course though, if you do decide to try it solo, feel free to post up any questions you have, id be happy to try to help you out if needed

    Yes you can remove the sway bar. I wouldnt recommend it though with 4" of lift and 600lb coils. Youll probably have quite a bit of body roll. I am currently planning on installing some Maxtracs and 600lb coils on my kings, and when i do, im gonna throw the sway bar back on. Right now, im running 700lb coils (about 3" of lift up front) and the body roll is a little more than i care for in the corners w/o the sway bar.

    Duly noted! Yea I had another buddy that did that to his 2016 TRD offroad and I didn't know if I could do the same with mine since it's a 2014

    Yea and I have a rooftop tent so it's probably not the best idea right now. I'm planning on doing it in the future tho, do you think wheel spacers would help with the body roll or is the truck itself too light and narrow?

    i personally wouldnt run wheel spacers to try to combat body roll, they'll make little or no difference, and i think they are a risk to run in the long term (people have different opinions on this though). It's all about the center of gravity and when you lift a truck and keep everything else the same, your COG is gonna be higher up, especially if you add stuff like a RTT. like @whatstcp said, its probably best to install your suspension first, see how you like the ride quality/body roll, and then take it off and compare. Then you can decide what's best for your planned use.

    Sure thing dont hesitate to ask! If neither one of us can answer your question, im sure there's someone on here that can

    Maxtrac Spindles, 2.5" kings w/ 600lb springs & resis (let the spindles do the lift so you can keep the best ride quality), and then some 12" king smoothies out back with archive garage shackles and the BAMF 12" shock relocate.
    So what size spindles. I have a king read with a +1 inch.. haven’t put on yet
