    I don't currently make a replacement uniball uca, but I sure would like to. I need to get ahold of a set of stock uca's to make a jig.

    Aside from some spring swapping, and some small details, she is finished.

    I already cycled the front and cut the front fenders, they had about 2 1/2" cut out and they clear at full bump. The truck is sitting about 2" too low right now which is why Jeff mentioned we are waiting on some springs to set the truck at its correct ride height.

    Just sort of figured it out over the years. Lots of reading helps. A class would be a good start.

    What is the advantage in using an upper link in controlling pinion angle, as opposed to mini air shocks in the rear axle?

    There's no mini air shocks to rebuild and replace, one of those shocks leaks out on you out on the trail your SOL. Those little air shocks are also really expensive. A single upper and panhard bar will always be superior.

    Just out of curiosity, how much did the customer pay in getting his Taco rig Long Traveled?

    Also, does the stock 4WD system work fine after you did the LT 3 link rear and LT front on the silver Taco?
