    Fwiw, I found that using a punch tool was very helpful in removing that super long bolt.

    :rain::rain::rain:I live in Kodiak AK so I get lots of RAIN :rain:. Should i worry about the uni ball corroding. In the winter there WILL be salt on the ground. Right now im using a water repellent CPC joint lube. Should i pack the crap out of it with grease or keep using the film lube? ANY THOUGHTS???

    Thanks Chris for the install and pics! New to the Tacomas! Did exactly what you did except i put the uca bolt back in the same way. TC is a great product and it is the difference between night and day! Now back to factory specs. thanks again.

    You can, but the point of the TC UCA's, is to give a little more travel when using extended coil overs, and to add caster back when lifted.
