    I'm not sure an aftermarket stock length lower control arm would be worth the money to be honest. What's your reason behind wanting to ditch the factory lower control arm?

    I heard of someone who had a stock-length after market LCA which enabled the to have bumps and limit straps. I would love to do LT but honestly I don't want as much increased width as most kits are offering. 2 inches would be perfect for what I want.

    I'd love a custom stock-length LCA for my Tundra that moves the wheel hub forward an inch; I'd fork over money for that instantly.

    I think Jeff is right, bumped and strapped it ended up at 19-20" . ...you know...just what everyone needs to go camping :) Yes, 12" CO's, 55" links. If you went through the bed you could use 16's and hit stupid travel #'s but we purposely kept my bed sealed. The short bed is so useless I could not afford to give up space and did not want to open up the bed so the bed cage bolts through the bed to the shock towers and the frame perches Jeff built.

    Edit - btw the pic from the back underneath is with the ass end lifted up on a engine hoist which is why the panhard is at such an angle.

    There is a pretty intensive pre screening process for JTA customers :

    1. The dogs must like you.
    2. Your money must be green.

    @jeffz0rz ...did I miss anything ?

    I won the dogs over by building them a luxury doghouse out of my camper shell ( on the stands ) and my bedrug...pup.jpg

    ...and just maybe might have occasionally fed them scraps whenever Jeff wasn't looking :anonymous:

    Would you be able to fab some no drill, roof rack holes utilizing , light bar brackets for a cured 50? There was a vendor on here saying he was going to start making them and selling them for 35 bucks, but he hasnt been on since mid november, so i have given up on waiting for him.
