    TRD Pro grill and fog lights, Toytec Boss lift, 265/70-17 Duratracs on 17 x 8.5 FN Verge wheels, LEER canopy, 30% tinted front windows.
    It looks as though they are on the 1.75 setting. I have that set up on the 0.85 and I got 2.6" of lift up front on my double cab 4x4. I say get it to the 0.85, and you should be happy.

    The ones from the OEM shocks are the wrong diameter, and wouldnt fit the 5100's

    Not shitty:
    I took ya'll advice and had the shocks knocked down to the .85 setting. My truck's suspension definitely feels more solid and tight now - I assume this has to do with gaining a bit of caster. The vibrations are almost entirely gone.

    Shitty:
    I didn't get a chance to drive it too much today but after a quick drive from work to home (about 5 miles @ 45 mph) I noticed a bit of a vibe from the front end and a "burning clutch" smell coming from the front wheel well.

    Did I blow a wheel or diff bearing? Is there an idiot-proof way to check?
