Planning on:

Removing the entire rear frame starting at the back of the cab
4 linking the rear
Rear 16 inch Sway-a-way airshocks
Interior cab cage tied in the the rear tube chassis
Removing any body lift
Moving the trans/tcase(s) up to give a flat as possible bottom
Rear cutting brakes (moving spool to front)
UHMW skid/belly plate


Does anyone have anything else we should keep an eye on/add/modify?

The front will be done at a later time

Chris is this a personal build or for someone else?

I'd be interested in the rear springs when you remove them. PM or call me with a price.

Sorry I'm not much help with Yota's, other than general repair and axle tech I havent done much with them.

Later
Sean
