Imdone is right. The highlighted part in the picture is the spindle. For the folks who haven't been around since the start of the whole RCD thing heres some info. Tuff Country produced a lift kit which came with a ball joint spacer. The ball joint is located at the top of the spindle. When a spacer is used, instead of a longer, stronger spindle, all the weight of the front end is put on the stock spindle. When this occurs, the stock spindle snaps and you have a broken suspension. What RCD has been doing, and what Tuff Country is now doing, is designing a replacement spindle instead of just a spacer. This should solve the breakage issue and we can all go high.

You could clear the 35's with just the 6" suspension lift. Really no reason to go with the body lift as well unless you like it really high. I fight with the girlfriend everytime I mention lifting my truck higher. We need support groups.

That site has been around for awhile now. In fact, most of the Tundra's on there are members of this site. Nothing on that page I haven't seen before.

Hey that's my Tundra (Keoni's) 3+ years ago. You can tell there were'nt many aftermarket products yet for the Tundra back then according to my future mod wish list. Alohas!

Ya that install was sweet! I loved everything about his truck. He actually had a mag feature in Off-Road. Sucks that someone had to steal it. Here's a pretty cool pic, the highest and the lowest. PIC.
