Ok cool. where did you order yours from?

 

Looks good Matt! Rattle can 5 coats of red next week and color sand them. $20 and 3 hours later.

Replace my UCA uniballs today. Look at that slop in the old one. Trying out the Ballistic fab Uniballs to see how they do. They are half the price of Aurora bearings. Will they last only half as long?

 

i ordered all my stuff from kartek they were awsome with customer service and making sure i got everything i need for my truck on time

 

Long long had the old ones been in use?

 

Damn,

I need to rebuild my kit also. and replace the bushings on my springs

Heim joints and uniballs and 8 sets of bushings are not going to be cheap even if I get them with a discount lol

 

i think you should be ok w/ the ballistic fab uni's. from what i know of them they have a pretty good reputation for good stuff.

no that wont be cheap. you gonna go w/ the TC nylatron bushings instead of poly?

 

I bought the truck a year ago with them in it. They had a slight knock to them. I think these are 3 years old. Lol, watch it be the original. That would be 6.5 years old.

Yeah they aren't cheap. Lucky my lower arms are good still. Like I said I tried out a good amount of Ballistic Fabs stuff and see how it last over the expensive stuff since I really only take this truck out at most once a month to the desert. Love new bushings. I think they squeak more than the old ones.

 

looks like i'm gonna be making some calls and spending some money tomorrow

solo spindles, TC secondary shock hoops, align cam gussets, rack and bushing kit

 

I'm not sure yet. Maybe Delrin or poly and the Uniballs and heims I'll do FKs

hahaha Gotta love the squeak

 

Well then Throw it my way.

 

Call Down South Motorsports and ask for Marco or Sonny. Good discount for being on tacoma world and shipping free too. They also would take care of all the valving. I got a special order length pair of 8" travel for my kit for under a grand

 

I have a question for you LT guys. How do you go through a car wash? It's kinda dumb but I noticed today after installing my lift spindles (which only increased the width by like 3" total) that getting my truck onto the conveyor belt thing was really tough. Is it even possible for LT trucks, especially ones that are only front LT, to go on the wash conveyors?

 

I don't.

Pressure wash station all the way.

 

if you love your truck enough to LT it, you should love it enough to never take it through a car wash

 

word. gotta wash that shit yourself because: A. like you said truck doesn't fit on the tracks and B. i can do a much better job by myself for free than paying 5 mexicans to do it for me. plus you can drink beer while washing your truck, they dont let you drink beer while waiting for your truck when its being washed
