the currect shocks i have installed will compress more than the new ones but an INCH. the problem i have is droop. its short by about an INCH.

i am suppose to run factory bumps all around but i cant find them so im hoping to do some testing and see if the new shocks will compress to the low profile ones. if they do. ill just leave it. than im gonna see if i can run low profile droop stops. if the new shocks can cycle the complete range of both upper and lower profile bumps. i will have gained even more free travel

Toyo, THANKS, man... those pics are great! Appreciate you sharing

Your rig is looking great, glad that it WORKED great as well.

That LC is SICK! I want I want! LOL. I've really been peeping those, .... instead of the older ones. Trying to find one that's WITHIN REASON, cuz some of them ask WAY too HIGH prices(Yes, I'm inferring that they must be HIGH! hahaha).

Glad you had fun... And, btw, not sure in Pismo, but I think you can't have more than 20% of your tire protruding from the wheel well in many counties in CA!

yea my buddies LC is BA. that thing is locked front center and rear. it went everywhere. even bared his tires while pulling a truck out. just sat spinning his tires while the other guys was yelling for him to stop. finally he stopped and put it in reversed and backed out like nothing.

its all of CA where you cant have the tires stick out. i heard that if you have mud flaps its ok. so idk. i dont DD this and im saving for some wider Fenders. im looking for a set that are the same cut as the oem, more square than round.

so with the info i got off my GPS. i was able to pull off 15mpg going to pismo pulling a trailer. which is surprisingly good since there was a a few huge hill climbs. i have always gotten fairly decent MPG on the highway. its the city driving that kills the gas in these 3.0s imo. anyways i finally got my sliders put on. they look great. i still need to paint the welded spots and touch up the rest of the sliders since i painted them before install and knew it was gonna get scratched up a bit during install which im fine with
