Wheels: 315/75-16 on 16x8 -25 offset (3.5 backspacing) Lift: King Ext 700 lb (about 1" of threads for preload), Baja Kits boxed UCA, Icon AAL w/stock OL. Got Deaver U402 Stage 2 going in soon and probably gonna back down the preload once I install a bumper. CMC, max caster on LCA and some...

Anyone running 285 or 295/75R16 on 16x8 -25 offset rims? Currently have 2" lift, wheels on the way and can't decide on the tires.

I figured. Not trying fit a cap anyway. Looking to get full height rack soon and most companies label it as 2005+ Tacoma and I'm not sure if there will be any issue of rack and roof rack (later) not lining up.

I know many parts between the two generations are interchangeable but is the distance from bed to top of cab the same on both? Just curious as it may help when buying used parts like full height bed racks, Softopper, etc meant for 2nd gen. I personally never owned a 2nd gen or know anyone right...

Yeah it's the ECGS. I haven't lifted my truck yet but there was definitely slop on driver side axle vs passenger side on OEM bearing. If you do decide to do it, there's only a few things to remove. Remove spindle dust cap to gain access to and loosen axle nut (35mm). Remove two 19mm bolts that...

So I went ahead and did the install. The hardest parts were removing the axle dust cap, having to remove my front skid plate (65 lbs) to pop out the axle and driving in the bushing. I would recommend a race bearing driver cause it made life real easy.

Hey team gonna tackle the ECGS bushing install soon but got some questions before I commit. I received bushing with a dent on the drive end, will it be ok? Is it supposed to have a line (journal) for some reason? Also I have MT, and the the bushing states 2005+ Tacoma, are they all the same?

If I grab it at the side that goes directly into the trans, I can move it vertically and horizontally. This is only on driver's side, passenger side has tighter clearance and no play. No weird sounds when I drive though.

My stock OR has play on driver's side axle going into trans and none on passenger side. Not sure yet if it'll be an issue after lift.

Anyone near Fairfield, CA have one I can borrow? Or someone on T3G willing to ship to 94535 to let me borrow for a few weeks? Or flat out sell for cheaper than ECGS?

That's not bad for parts and install. Unless you meant $2600 just for labor only which would be straight robbery.

Are 2nd gen spindles identical to 3rd gen? Wanting to gusset and 2nd gen stock ones are easier and cheaper to find. Curious to know if 2nd gen LCAs will work too.

I got the icon progressive AAL now just waiting on the other stuff to arrive. I haul so much air and I don't want too much lift so it'll do.

What's everyone running? Will progressive AAL (no overlad) be better for 30+ mph choppy terrain run vs the full pack?
