    just giving you a heads up if you didnt buy their spring plates, you might have to drill out the holes in the spring plates you're using. i just bought the TC ones and theyre cut for 9/16 rather than 5/8.

    AP plates are sized for 5/8ths, not sure why they ship 9/16ths with the plate drilled that big? The fit is much better now and when torquing down the bolt doesnt walk around in the plate hole...

    ...too much shit to list.
    The AP plates SUUUUUUUUUUUCK for LT. They are just way too big and wouldn't work right with the spring pack fully arched. I had to cut mine down and do all kind of mystery shit to make them work.

    How many of you guys are running wheel spacers in the rear to help even up the track width?

    My 4runner axle tubes are around 3.125, I remember my 05 Tacoma being the same, 3" stuff works but it's not perfect. I had to open up those ruff stuff spring perches a bit on the 4runner.
    I worked on a 1st Gen and there's definitely a difference in axle tube diameter from how easy the u bolts drop in to TC spring plates.
    I couldn't find a complete set of spring perches, u bolts, and spring plates that were 3.125" so you gotta use what you can.

    Do you guys think a 2'' wheel spacer on the rear axle to help even up track width is excessive on a 2" over LT kit? Basically would return the trackwidth ratio to stock.

    I would stick to 1.5" or less. Anything over 1.5" spacer wise scares me.
