    get whatever is cheapest that is the stroke length you need. it's 2" right, for the fronts?

    SAW or fox...or ballistic fab makes some cheap bumps too, i've heard decent things about them.

    Nice dude!! Yeah I saw you talking with ryan. Serena and I had to run to the auto parts store real quick and when we got back we just were out back doing work. Sorry I didn't get to meet you man. Next time for sure. I was the short skinny guy out back lol

    Trust me if someone offered me anything reasonable that bitch would be gone lol problem is I want an FJ but at this time without getting a second job there is no way I could make the payments on one. So for now my POS will do.


    on a good note my TC kit will be basicly new because of the new FK uniballs, Heims and bushings. sdhq keeps all that in stock just in case you all need anything. ;)

    I feel for you Alex!

    Spend about 12hrs yesterday installing my LT, everything was fine got the passenger side done. Driver side was a nightmare. The Outter CV was so messed up we couldn't seperate the joint from the axle til we used a 20ton press but we ended up cracking the casing on the bearing turned into an expensive day! Now have to wait til Tuesday or Wednesday before I can get a new one & try again!

    So we have the inner cv together with all of the balls, cage and star in the housing but it's binding so bad it won't flex at all. Any ideas or tips? 930 CVs are what I'm used to working with and these toyota ones are being a pain. Calling tc and phx axle tomorrow to get some advice.
