    Probably just need to rebuild and shorten the stroke on mine since I have the cab for the 4" and really don't feel like redoing my mounts. Plus they are basically new.

    Kind of feeling a little cheap and lazy about my front end. May run some hydro bumps and skip the bypass for a while... Most just run a 2 tube bypass that is basically just a 2nd shock with a bump zone anyways.

    My rear needs much more love before the front suspension gets bypasses and all that fun stuff.

    I'm still just running wheelers superbumps up front. No need for more until I can afford to run secondaries. I just need to shorten my rears as soon as I get some sort of setup to refill shocks. As @Basikbiker stated a little while ago, all his shit is filled with welding gas. I just need to get the regulator and a no loss air chuck.

    I got some SAW 2.0 x 2" travel bumps brand new. Bought them for my front but Camburg says 4x4 can only run bypass or bump, not both.

    It’s pretty easy. Not to mention a nitrogen setup is very fairly priced and a worthy investment. I take mine with me on the trail and do shock and bump adjustments. I resealed a set of King’s for a friend who’s started leaking on the trail once before. I also carry a cheap CO2 regulator that has an adapter for the nitrogen bottle to fill tires. You will do enough shock work over the years with your LT to easily get your dollars worth.

    what do you guys think install should cost for the following?
    2012 Tacoma 4X4

    heres what I have already
    -Total Choas +2 race series LT kit (with 2 inch extended axel bars)
    -TC spindle gussets
    -TC cam tab gussets
    -TC coil bucket guests

    -fox LT coilovers with RR and DSC

    I got quoted $2000 from a shop I trust, that includes a cab mount chop and alignment. if I did it myself I could do it for $300-$500. my buddy has a shop and welder, but neither of us are pro welders.
    I'm in Denver Colorado, besides insain fab and slee offroad do you guys know other truck shops that might be able to do it?
    for those of you with this kit, did you use factory outer CV boots? I was told I should upgrade to some better ones that are $60 apiece.

    also, If anyone in the area wants to come by and weld up the gussets for me when the truck is all stripped please DM me we can talk price. I'm definitely interested as I'm not confident In my welding ability.

    I installed my Baja Kits +2 with @LTDSC and a couple friends, but take my advice and use OEM or the SDHQ boots. The boots were the one and only shitty part of installation because I ordered non-oem/non-SDHQ

    I got the all-pro boots with mine, but I would check out SDHQ's as I didn't know they had them till after the fact.

    I don't believe he has yet, but you def are on the right track with cam tab, spindle, and coil bucket gussets. When doing the spindle, if you are getting the swaybar-less ones, make sure at the base of the spindle gusset that you weld a little piece at the bottom where it is welded on top of the hub outer housing. Many guys have cracked their spindles at this location as a good amount of the stress gets transferred there so its good to add a little gusset on the bottom corner there. I need to dig up the thread on it for better explanation.
