    Yes, had to drill 3 holes on each side to get bolts through. One on the floor and two on the sides on each side. Hardest part was getting one nut on that was really hard to reach behind the taillights. Couldn’t have done it without small locking pliers. Other than that, really easy install. Can’t feel the difference but I’m sure it’s going to help with the bed flexing when I get offroad.

    Nice build man. What’s it like to drive without the sway bar? I have been wondering why everyone on the forum wants to upgrade to the trd one. Don’t we want ultimate flex??

    Don’t even notice it on the road anymore. Pretty big difference on the dirt though.

    They rest on the wheel well and when the handles are tightened they’re on there tight.

    I wish I could’ve put it on the cab side of the bed but I have a retractable tonneau canister there.

    99% of us have zero chance of breaking our stock spindles...literally the only reason I got mine done is with the long travel setup I'm getting a little reckless with my truck. I've got it airborn more than a few times in the 2 trips I've had LT and figured might as well. And I wasn't even worried about them breaking but just possibly bending. They're not going to break.

    That and the gussets look pretty

    For me, I couldn’t get a good alignment. Thought maybe I had a bent spindle. To rule that out, I picked up some spindles to swap. Didn’t cost much more to have them gussetted so I did. Well, it’s not the spindles, my alignment still sucks. I’m pretty sure now it’s my UCAs.

    From what I’ve heard it’s not the numbers he’s chasing, it’s the performance. Aftermarket gear can make alignment numbers obsolete

    Exactly. And even when done correctly with hard use the gussets will start to crack at the stress points and have to be touched up. It’s happened to a few friends of mine. Cracked in the exact same spots.

    Depending on what setup ur running u don’t even want stock alignment numbers. Mine aren’t anywhere close to Toyota specs nor would I want them to be.

    Driver side the issue? Post your alignment specs if you are comfortable doing so, there are a few things I can help/suggest if I see them. What is your ride height? On some trucks you need to run more lift with your arms to align well.

    Not yet on the alignment issue. Today I’ve got to deal with my rear shock rubbing on my brake bolt.

    Icon sent me a temporary set of rear 2.0’s to put on while they find a fix. Gonna swap them out soon. Hopefully I get them back before Death Valley.
