looks good man!

also is this carbonized?

i have the the eibach kit on order and i plan to run the same tire size with most likely the at3s (or maybe cooper st maxx?) as well so this gives me a good idea of how it will look! only difference is ill have aftermarket wheels

This is exactly what I'm doing to my truck hopefully in the next week. Only difference is the wheels. Looks great!

What did you do with the crash bars?

thanks! it was between those and the black rhino rapid in midnight blue but in the end i choose method for the rep they have and two the bead grip tech on them it will help keep the bead set better for airing down.


now if only i could get a ship date for my suspension... still nothing heard about them atm..

Sigh… just my luck I get sent the wrong rear shock with my lift… which btw I never got any shipping notification on these at all… they just showed up and now I gotta send one back and wait for the other fun fun… plus side the install seems like a pain but not to awful tbh more work then doing my tacoma but nothing a pizza and a buddy and a couple hours can’t do. Anyone install their own lift and can give me some advice with these trucks that would be great!

That takes a whole lot of "don't give a shit" at the packaging department to get this result. I'm sort of impressed.

Hey Jacob,

You may have already read some of this but here are are a few things not always included in the YouTube videos to help you avoid some pitfalls and make it easier.

• Jack up both sides of the truck and place on jack stands or use a hoist - do not try this by jacking one side, swapping it out, then moving to the other side - you will likely pop an anti-sway bar link
• Remove the caliper and rotor - they are crazy heavy when heavy is what you don't need - especially at re-assembly (adds 10 mins max)
• Remove the axle nut and push the CV out of the knuckle and tuck it out of the way - you DO NOT want to pop your CV - I zip tied mine to the sway bar
• Remove the anti-sway bar link from the knuckle and loosen both sway bar mounts
• Have your front end alignment appointment set up for the next day

Sure, these steps add a bit of extra time and effort, but they make it so easy to move the knuckle around and to get that upper ball joint re-attached. You also won't pop your CV or an anti-sway bar link and you won't get frustrated trying to get your new, taller strut into a space designed for one that's 2-1/2" shorter.

Good Luck!
