    Ok, Paul mentioned they had a new 3.5 kit. Or were developing a new kit. I guess I'll see next week. Thanks

    Bobby told me that they started putting heimed uppers on all of their first gen kits so the trucks with frame tweaks are easily aligned. Maybe had something to do with that? I'd be down for a fully fabbed 4x4 kit that utilizes the stock coil buckets though. :)

    I agree - looks great! How's the rear matching up with it? New setup in the works?

    Hopefully one day. Sooner than later I hope. Rear has deaver F42 and Bilstein 5125's in factory location. Rear actually does pretty well but now Im sure that's going to change because having the long travel up front will allow more energy to be passed to the back of the truck. I'd like to spring under with 16'' bypass through the bed with bed cage and possibly tundra axle but I hate not being able to retain the e-locker... isn't LSD kind of lame?

    You could have a diamond axle housing built as wide as a tundra axle that accepts the e locker I believe - or go whole hog and get a harrop or arb selectable rear locker :stirthepot:

    I don't like the big arched TT style glass. Bedsides have to be flat too just like yours are(or look like from the picture)

    Tundra comes with a locker in some models, no?
