Anyways I’m ordering the Whiteline bushings because I can’t afford high end lca’s at this moment. If this wasn’t my daily driver I’d weld in TC cam tab gussets while it was apart but for now I can’t destroy a pair of tires on my upcoming road trip to my property in northern Nevada. Thanks again for taking the time to chronicle your journey and experience.

I hope its useful to you! I was starting to get bored trapped up at home, so it seemed like a good time-sink to take pictures and make a tutorial for my install. Please post some pictures when you get them apart, I'd love to see them! I also think pictures from the community will help others on their bushing journey. Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to answer them!
This is my daily as well, and the college budget can't always stretch for the good stuff. The Whitelines fit the budget and it was a great learning experience. I did the LCAs separately on different weekends, but if you have a really beautiful weekend, you could definitely crank this out in the 2 days. Doing them together would also cut down on time.
I liked the idea of the TC cam gussets as well. I'm just starting to get into off-road mods now, so I don't have any experience with the stock gussets bending yet. I wonder how much the stock gussets could be beefed up with a bit of extra metal welded onto the tabs, maybe I'll have to try it out.
