Yep. More angle, more stress. More droop can over extend them and pull them apart. Diff drop is not ideal either. Best solution is suspension lift, possibly UCA's, and upgraded CV's. That's not counting steering/ tie rods.

With all due respect, you clearly have no idea what you are taking about.

Well I'm guessing you haven't been wheeling since you were a young teen. RC was popular when I was 16-20 and I've personally seen and used plenty of it. We used it because that's all we could afford. The powder coating was cheap and faded and rusted quickly. The steel was thin and welds...

You're saying that adding spacers doesn't change geometry??? It very much does change your CV angles.

Absolutely this. Maybe a lawyer if needed.

Ahhh, $425 for a pair of shackles?

They are no where near as thick as aftermarket. I will have to get a caliper out, but they look like 12ga.

Really like the looks of these. That cool zinc plating needs to be rattle canned though. That zinc will be worn off pretty quickly where they get used. I prefer to be able to tough up with a quick spray can every so often to keep them from being completely rusted. I'm betting we are looking...

There is not as significant difference between alu and steel skids as some would have you believe. For example, RCI full skid set on a Tacoma is 120lbs in 3/16 steel and 68lbs in 1/4 alu. Aluminum is fine for "overlanding" or trails, but has no business in the rocks. It does not bend, it...

Until you know what the actual numbers are, this is all just emotional. Everything hss risk. Find me a current production vehicle with zero issues. Toyota can't manage it either. Relax a little until you have a reason.

I was afraid of that too, but mine is now a fair amount quiter since removing and reinstalling all the panels. Trying a car wash today.

That's not necessarily true. There are ECU checks for speed and 4lo and we don't know the exact activation method. There have been similar efforts on 3rd gen Tacomas to swap in a factory elocker or enable any time activation, all to no avail...yet. Aftermarket air or e locker is a sure bet...

Ok, no then. Lol, sorry I meant real rails. I've been scanning here looking for an option that is frame mounted. The OEM ones don't give me confidence.

They absolutely will. Every set of sliders I’ve ever had mounted like this. They have to extend to the frame. That's the point.

These will be popular. I am in for a set.

Squatch is absolutely worth it to me. Lockers, lower gearing, and stronger axles are expensive to add later to support 35s, and you get a warranty. I just took delivery and I love this truck. Very happy with the 2.7 as well.
