What size tires are those SCUBA? We don't have many single cab truck in Canada, so I'm having a hard time guessing, as the perportions are throwing me off.

Sweet!

Did you junk the sway bar too?

I'll second the alignment, mine needed one bad after I installed the spacers (no t-bar adjustments made).

While the truck is inherently less, I tipped my 4Runner, as i didn't have a rear swaybar on at the time, thus I'm a little weary of removing my SBs. My 4Runner handles weird without it.

Solution: make quick disconnects. Takes me 20 second to get out of the truck disconnect and get back in- as fast as than locking in the hubs. Putting the pins back in take 1 min.

If they're talking about the rear sway bar, on the pickup its considerably less of a big deal than on the 4runner. The 4runner has coil springs and the pickup has leaves. If you take the 4runner's off, it slips from side to side totally shifting your center of gravity, limiting you offroad. On the pickup, you get more axle droop and, although you should always exercise caution when doing stuff like this, you probably won't notice any change in on-road performance. Go figure. I don't even really bother takin the sway bar off my IFS, personally.

The pickup doesn't have a rear swaybar. Taking the front off, at least on a 4Runner, makes a noticeable difference on and off road.

Now you're probably going to realize your camber adjust bolts are all seized into place, then get a torch to try and start moving them, then start turning one and realize you're twisting it off, then get frustrated and say screw it and leave the positive camber until you can afford an sas. I dreaded replacing those bolts and bushings so I never did. This is what happened to me anyhow lol
