Any photos of Cat-eye Crew Cab with the 2/4, spindles, flip in rear? Possibly on 20s?

Why would you run a flip kit for a 2/4? You'd have to do hangers anyways to raise it up since a flip is a 6
Google-fu for the pics tho

Because it is a Crew Cab and my only option.

Where did you find that kit? McGaughys does not even list that on their site for 2012 2/4 drop.

I would always do spindles instead of springs for the front though. Springs if you need to achieve a lower drop but at that point I'd be looking at bags or coilovers combined with other parts.

Weird that it doesn't show on their site. I guess that would work but I have no experience with the strut cups.

I'd still be looking at doing spindles though as it doesn't change any suspension geometry and only changes the hub mount point.

That does not fit the Crew cab. Totally different front hangers. Note where it says that it will not work on welded front hangers......

.....so back to my original question....lol

Fitment section reads “Fits all cabs”

Don’t shoot the messenger
