    I just got the kit for a doublecab and added the spacer for the steering and the bed spacers. Left off the bumper brackets.

    No big changes in terms of drivetrain/suspension stuff. I plan to add some rear bumpstops, but that's about it.

    nope haven't had rear bumps for the past year or so. Ever since the ubolt flip.

    gotcha...surprising with all the trips you do that would require loading up with gear and/or towing the trailer...guess the trailer doesn't put that much tongue weight on there at least..

    Yeah either way I wouldn't have been riding on the bumps. Not sure I even need them at this point, but I'll probably add them just to be safe.

    after seeing what jace had to go through for his, no wonder it's overlooked when doing the flip on a 1st gen..

    Hey, I ended up adding the leaf to my Dakar pack... Thanks for pointing me that direction, so glad I did that instead of fawking with the shackles.

    Might drop them down to the 1" setting, since shocks are super extended - love the rake, but now I see why you opted for relocating the shocks and axle plate. Jw, why did you relocate shocks rather than just add longer?

    I relocated the shocks because I was doing the ubolt flip which eliminates the lower shock mount. I didn't buy longer shocks because I liked how the Nitrocharger shocks worked with the rest of the suspension and knew that with the correct mounting I could get them so they didn't limit travel.
