I’d recommend getting new cam alignment bolts all around if you’re planning on removing your LCA’s. They have a tendency to seize to the bushing, causing one to have to use torch/sawzall/air hammer to remove them.

Just posted some pics up on the Dobinsons thread. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/235263-dobinsons-suspension-4th-gen-options-24.html#post3062315 Only been on about three weeks, but alignment went well, not sure of the final caster numbers though. So far, so good. The place I had...
