    Thanks! Sorry about your accident. Glad you're ok. I'm actually amazed that this isn't a popular mod, most people probably can't afford the downtime. Here is a simple swap and go solution.

    I know some of you wheel pretty hard with your stock lowers. Don't let this happen:

    Wow thank you for the idea. I gotta do this! Did you just heat the steel up and wrap it around?

    Real Talk . . .

    Every time I see that Taco. I feel so bad for that guy as I was following his build page. Say what you want but that LCA Sleeve should have never broke so cleanly as they did. Funny how they broke along the weld/seams of the LCA.


    This is one of those mods you can afford and feel safe about. Is it me or the OEM LCA have thicker sleeves than the so called Engage LT Kit.     ​



    Did you do the WELDING on that Will? IF so, I think you should work for Engage. Will > Engage's Welds. . . Just Saying.
