    Good to know that you are on here. I'm curious as to how I would go about getting some spare tie rods for this kit.

    Last time I remembered they are stock with a tubing extension welded to the ends.
    If you're getting into LT, you should start learning to weld. ;)

    EDIT:

    Yeah I remembered correctly:

    There is a local fabricator that ONLY trigger welds everything purty but why not just lay a bead?

    I don't think it was maybe just a bad pic :confused:

    Hmm, is that a regular balljoint on that LCA? Any specific reason for not going w/ a uniball?? From what Ive gathered so far, uniball is the way to go :notsure:

    i will say clean placement of plate work, and consistent trigger pulls... but still trigger pulls none the less.... not bashing it and if it works it works... everyone has to start somewhere... but i would cut out that trigger welding asap and start learning continuous beads if you havent already....

    Who here has changed to longer wheel studs?

    What brand did you buy and where from?

    It concerns me that only 3-4 threads are holding the wheel on per
    lug

    I did, Used Wheel studs off the rear of the toyota matrix. But they are really long you , so i used 1/4" spacer to clear the caliper. If you just want to gain a few more threads the rear of our trucks are slightly longer.

    how can you possibly tell? i don't see any dimple in the bead. You would need to see a closer pic of the bead. Not to mention Fabien welds or at least use to weld for a living.

    well you can tell by the lack of the bead to actually sit almost flush if not a bit concave... and thank you for that bit of education......
