    Is there a way to remove the ucas without removing the shocks?

    Just remove the shocks, 4 bolts and it take like 5 mins. You could remove the ucas but they're not easy way to put back with the shock in there. Also it would spring apart pretty violent depending on spring rate.

    Not really.

    Well..

    actually sure.

    You can undo the UCA bolt thats at the spindle and separate it there. Then remove the mount bolt. Swap in the new UCA and you'll have to press out the old ball joint to put in the slug adapter for the uniball.

    Then use a jack to up the LCA to mate the spindle to the uniball.

    Id just pull the shock though. Easy and only 4 bolts..Be easily to work with IMO.

    It's not a hard "no" but it's not the easiest or safest way to go about it either.

    Yeah nothing wrong with it. But the shock is easy to pull and will be easier to manipulate the suspension to where it needs to be to line up.

    Ordered a BAMF BPV relocation bracket. Quick question, since I plan on using stock size coils and 5100's on the middle setting, should I need diff drop and sway bar drop brackets? Going for 1.5" of lift.

    I'm a few days behind on this thread, so forgive me your question was already answered. The difference between 13WL and 13WG is where the hardline attaches. The angle is different. Otherwise, they are the same. This doesn't matter if you're using a flexible brake line the Wheeler's units.

    As a side note, you can bolt on a 13WH and run a 338mm rotor versus the 319mm 13WL/WG rotor. You have to run a 17" rim though.

    338?? :der:

    The tundra brakes are 231mm

    338mm is way way bigger. How does that fit?

    also what is it from?
