    It's about 3 times the diameter of a Tacoma rack. It's all about girth right?

    Oh didn't know 35s broke them, solo told me they recommended it for anyone with 37s and the rebuild with their fitting that increases line pressure would work with 35s :notsure:

    Ask @tubbsisland. One hard hit is all it takes. We also have full heim steering which turns the rack into the weak link. Stock inner tie rods save the rack

    I would much rather replace rod ends than racks. That's why I'm staying with factory stock inner rod ends. I bent my first one on my last trip, I had it replaced and back on the road in 20 mins.

    I believe the new Mason Trophy Trucks are running billet trailing arms with carbon fiber inlays. They are also using billet spindles. Very competitive winning trucks. Proper engineering can go a LONG way now days with CAE.

    Anyone know someone who works at Geiser? I'm trying to order parts or plan a trip to go visit their shop but haven't been very successful.

    What are the preferred replacement CV boots for a TC +2 kit? Are people using the porsche 930 boots? Original boots? Something else?

    Part #s along with preference would be even better.
