    got most all the tools, or will get them...

    I have already:

    3" dobinsons Offroad MRR/MRA full suspension kit (rear shocks on backorder until sept. But I have everything else incuding Full leaf pack, greasable shackle bolts, Urethane Bushings...

    JBA offroad high caster UCA's. (arrived last night)

    ECGS bushing, and seal. (on order should be delivered on 8/8/20)

    Archive Offroad U-bolt flip kit with super bumps


    Should I bother to look at a sway bar relocation? or carrier bearing drop?

    I do plan to get the Marlin Crawler Alignment tab gussets and have them welded in at some point.

    anything else I am missing? want this done right the first time. doing the install myself once the rear shocks come in.

    truck as she sits now... 265/70/17 on method 305nv 17x8.5 0offset

    Good time to do Archive Garage hammer hangers. Pull out your front lower control arm cam bolts and antiseize the crap out of them. Someone here had a nice guide for doing this but can't find it. Get some grease specific for poly bushings (for the leaf springs)

    May not need carrier bearing drop. Have to wait and see of you have any driveshaft vibes after install, which could be Pinon angle issue also.

    You're going to like the Dobinsons setup. I love mine, rides awesome!

    I hope so, most expensive mod so far... between the suspension kit, UCA's and bushing it's just tipping over $3300..... the flip kit i won at a fundraiser raffle.. $40 lol... I went ahead and talked to my insurance about covering my mods, and suprised myself... $10k in mods... and I'm not done yet...... cost me another $100/6months to cover.

    chatted online with my insurance provider told them the cost of my mods, gave them the cost of them, and it equalled out to 10k... if an accident happens now they will pay to replace the modified parts, not stock.. it only jumped one payment by $100.. then it only added like $10/mo $149/mo for full coverage on my 2016 tacoma TRD OR, 2017 4Runner sr5, and 2013 mazda Cx-5 awd. not bad but not great....
