    You probably could have had the shop fab it up so that you could use the Icon resi mounts with the TC tower gussets. I am going to get some custom tower gussets similar to Cole's tower gussets... I need to first find a long UCA bolt...

    You're not the only one. I'm going to order from these guys next week, after I've had a chance to take some measurements.

    Hahaha. I am not sure yet. I am going camping here in a few days. Going to florance from the 12th-17th, it should be fun! It will be the first time to test the LT suspension kit and then I will decide what I want to do out back. After I get back i need to research on finding a longer UCA bolt so that shop can make my tower gussets or I am going to wait until cole comes back from the marines. Ask him if he could give me a number to contact the guy who made his tower gussets. There is not a decent shop around where I live. I found a pretty good shop 30min away from my house that only specializes in toyotas, but the last time I took it there they kinda pissed me off because they never replaced a few things... I am very particular, when I take my truck in a shop to get worked on I hope it comes back out better... After they welded on my spindles gussets the dust shield was scraping up against my roder. The guy who worked on my rig said "I didn't hear any noise." I drove for fricken 30min of my roders scraping and grinding on the dust shield. BS there is no way he could not hear that noise... I usually try to do all the installations on my truck myself. When it comes to fabricating that is where I am lost... Probably get some front bump stops and maybe go with shocks hoops and spare tire setup... I don't know! Maybe I will get the bumper when I come back... I am not sure yet... Right now I am not trying to focus ton the truck so much. I want to start saving up for a house while I still live at home. Haha. Also need to get some things sold on craigslist like my dirt bike, black steel wheels, etc... I am going to eventually need a new motor for the truck... My truck is also my DD so it gets a lot of miles. I need the bed space out back for hauling crap. Maybe down the road I will go with LT suspension out back. I don't see it happening anytime soon.

    Make sure to take pictures! How far away is Florance compared to Medford? I have family there in Medford, and once I get my LT might be a good spot to hit up :).

    not much point to it here cuz there aren't enough LT trucks to sustain an active sub-section...
