    Think I am about to pull the trigger on the 3/2.

    For hybrids, do you do the 110-220 added load or heavier, and do you apply that to both front and back or just one or the other?

    Another question, I see they make their own UCAs. I was planning on getting the TRD UCAs and extended axles. Any issues there?

    Add the panhard rod and some extended brake lines and I am good to go, right?

    Where do you guys get the brake lines?

    thanks for the help again

    Highly recommend a pan hard relocation bracket, getting your pan hard back to parallel will do more for your ride quality than just getting the length right.
    I would do the heavier front springs if you plan on adding any weight at all. I did talon full belly skid and am definitely needing heavier springs.

    Thanks for the response. So do you think the rod is necessary too?

    I don’t plan on a bumper or anything but I have the hybrid battery. Just want to make sure I get the right springs

    Without an adjustable rod my rear end is maybe 1/8 of an inch towards the passenger side, which I can deal with hardly noticeable. Without the relocation bracket the rear was very stiff. I'm only at about an inch of lift in the rear.

    I don't have the hybrid, but the extra ~150 lbs of the belly skid noticeably pulled my front end down.
    Maybe call dobinson and ask what they recommend

    The rear end will most likely still be off center with the lift and a relocation bracket. That's why the panhard is recommended at 2" of lift, to realign the axle to center

    I would get the relocation bracket installed and then see if you need an adjustable bar. BOTCK has two settings, I used the lower of the two holes after lifting the rear on my Pro an inch and its about as dead center as you can get and the bar is flatter than stock. Every truck seems to be a little different though.
