Since my question didn't get answered, I'll ask again: if toyota engineered these shock towers to withstand those forces, why do y'all feel it isn't necessary to add additional support to the shock tower if mounting a coilover to it?

Is your diff drop a larger drop than the ones already on the market or about the same?
- Thread starter

This was one of the first questions I had asked myself. I feel that the factory mounts are strong enough to withstand the added force of a coil over, however, we did design several weld on brackets to reinforce the upper mount. These brackets will be included in all of our kits.

Our Diff drop kit is a 1" drop, and I have found that to be standard. We designed this kit because we could not find anyone that had a diff drop kit in stock. This is a part we keep in stock at all times. Shipped for $250 including hardware.

@KOR metal FAB What about SPC upper control arms? Do those work with this kit?
- Thread starter

I don't know for sure if it will work with those arms, but I can't see why not. I imagine they are built very similar to the TC arms.
Bump for an update, has anybody gotten around to installing one of these kits yet?
I'm also itching to pull the trigger, but to be completely honest I don't want to be the first.
Not enough cash for this but I’d love to be the test dummy,
@KOR metal FAB
I think it would be very beneficial for you if you uploaded some pictures of this set up out in the field- some pictures showing the flex, maybe a video ...
It’s just a lot of $$ with a limited amount of information right now
As others have said, thank you so much for implementing new products for our old trucks!

Videos of this kit in action would be great too!
I can't find anything on the World Wide Web!

I'm just going to come out and say it... if you are going to fab new LCA's, why would you not bump track width out, fab UCA's and go with longer axles? Make it a real long travel kit. I am really not seeing the benefit to this kit vs. the insane price tag.
Although I agree with you and that is what I want, I could see their conundrum. If they go out even a couple inches then the interference with the fender is eminent, or you are limited to a smaller tire size that few of us want to run. If you make it 2” wider, longer travel (which is really what we want), and we want to keep running the tall 34ish inch tires (seems most popular) then someone will have to cut into their fenders and figure out everything that goes along with that. It seems that few people here would be willing to do that.
The other option is to get McNeil or someone else to create a modest fiberglass fender for our rig. Nothing too crazy, just give us an option to bolt on and paint a clean & higher clearance solution with consideration for the inner fender.
Now, what I would like to know is if @KOR metal FAB looked into moving the wheel 1” or so further forward to minimize interference with the firewall! Like Big Mike’s Tacoma Marlin Crawler build.
Clearly, they can fab by the looks of the jig and welds and other projects, but making sure there was a market for this and then marketing it thoroughly seemed to be a bit of a flop. No content since last Aug isn’t a good way to continue to build enthusiasm for the new most expensive front suspension upgrade available.
Where is the rig that this first one was to be installed on? Aren’t there pics of it installed? Comments on it being tested? Keep us enticed, we do want to support out of the box thinking.
Rant complete

I can see their train of thought... but at the same time, it just seems like they are offering a significantly more expensive means to the same end. They could easily get away with a track width increase of at least 1.25" (We all pretty much run 1.25" wheel spacers anyways)... and I think anyone who wants long travel understands that it means glass fenders...
for 5k we could all just go do a solid axle swap and be done with it... do away with all this IFS nonsense.
Has anyone ordered a kit?
Why havent we seend some video of the kit installed ?
