That's a pretty decent price with the UCAs... You will get a bit stuffed with shipping costs though. I'm running the same lift on stock UCAs currently. No issues with the alignment though I'm wondering how much forward caster I'll be able to get once I slap on bigger shoes...

One of my friends invited me on a run Sunday, I'll see if he minds me I viti g others but it should be fine. We're going to do something pretty tame, they are thinking 4Peaks or Butcher Jones.
And about the 15th - for those interested, would anyone be opposed to changing it to Sunday the 16th instead?
Sheep Bridge

Did some checking, and Sunday the 16th works better for Cathy and I. Sounds like an awesome trip!

Woo hoo! Sunday the 16th..... Now the super important question: WHERE?
It was previously mentioned the Sheep Bridge - do we still want to do that? Its a pretty easy ride depending on which way we go in. 7 Springs to the bridge can be done 100% in 2wd last time I was out there and there are a few fun little turn off's we can check out like Maggie May and the Sears-Kay Ruins. We can also go in from Table Mesa Rd which, on the east side of the 17, its referred to as New River Trail. That dead ends at 7 Springs and we go north to where it dead ends at Bloody Basin, make a right and head to the bridge. Then we can take Bloody Basin all the way back to the 17 and check out some cool stuff along the way. Once we get to the 17 we air up and if anyone is interested, we can stop at Rock Springs Cafe for some world famous Pie
But, if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm open to anything.

I do too - its been a while since I've been out there.
Here are some pics from last time I did New River Trail to 7 Springs:
Near the only water crossing I recall:
and it wasn't very deep - and we were there in March
Entrance to one of the side trails:
a lot of the trail is like this:
This video I show all the time was taken at New River - there is a bypass:

And there are a couple of these - nothing hard:
The weird rock quarry:
Then there is the Sheep Bridge:
And that was the day Cecil met his little brother for the first time:
I think now its just a matter of where do we start - I-17 & Table Mesa so we go in from New River, or 7 Springs by Bartlett Lake?
Had a question about suspension upgrade. Im really wanting icon's, but don't think i need that much performance. I had them in my tundra and loved them. I have been looking at the Toytec BOSS kit and thinking about swapping out the read for bilstein 5160's. Whats the opinions on that set up? Also do i need new UCA's or can this wait for a later date? Thanks....
Reason why I'm looking for new suspension is 1) I have some squeaking or clucking up front. Not sure if i blew out the stock shock. I hear it mostly on the driver side. Its more of a creaking sound. It happens on bums and while turning sometimes. 2) The new tire/wheel set up rubs. not a lot but to the point where its now annoying.

Icons are overkill for most of the folks out there (including myself). Sure the're nice, but they aren't maintenance free. They will need to be rebuilt at some point. As to the BOSS kit, I'm not sure which shock Toytec is using in it currently. I lucked into a Toytec Ultimate that someone was selling and I'm quite happy with it. I'm running my stock UCA's on stock rims and tires so obviously, no rubbing. We'll see how that changes once I get some 285 KO2s on there.
