    looks like you're gonna need to make some custom bump stop spacers.

    I have a bunch of stacked UCA washers currently, but I'm going to replace them with a solid spacer.

    I’ve been using the Depo +2 LT kit for a bit now and it’s holding up well. I mainly use it for tight trails and crawling, and it’s been great for that. It’s definitely not built for high-speed stuff, but if you’re into slower, technical terrain, it’s a solid choice. I haven’t had any issues with it breaking, and the gusseted LCA cup is a nice touch. I did swap out the uni balls just to be safe, but overall, it’s been a good budget-friendly option. Definitely worth considering if you’re not going to be pushing it too hard.

    Big question is how's it handle driving 70mph on the interstate

    No joke was just curious. A lot of LT kits don't like highway speeds and your all over the place.

    Plus I'm LT on the rear of my T4R so it gets a little loose feeling on the rear

    I've been following this thread since last year and appreciate everyone keeping it updated with their insights. It's been incredibly helpful, and I'm likely going to get this kit because, why not?

    I found another rig with this setup on a V8 4th gen 4Runner - check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Csuawd3MEfO. You can see him putting the kit through its paces and even jumping it. I've talked to him, and he's had the kit for about two years, giving it a lot of rough use.

    He mentioned he hasn't really had any major complaints, once you get into the +2, you always have the itch for more travel, that's the only thing he mentioned. But for what i'm doing, i think it's a good all around choice, some light pre-running and rock crawling.

    Nice . I sent him a message. Asking if the tie rod extensions or a direct fitment or if he needed to buy upgraded ones. I did read on their website that the extensions may or may not work with the 4Runners. I was also curious on what size tires he was running since I daily 35s and I play an off-road on 37s
