    Tirse and drop-in K&N so far.
    I was putting a set of coil spacers in my front springs to see how I liked the look of a little lift and while doin that I noticed that my drivers side only has 4 coils to the spring and the passenger side has 5 coils. I checked from different angles to be sure it wasnt an illusion or something but there is one less on my driver's side.
    Has any one else noticed this on their 2nd gen 5 lugger? If so does anyone know the reason for it?

    what will your truck mainly be used for? those wheels wont fit you need the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. depending on how far you want your front wheels to poke out then go from there as far as backspacing goes. 4.5 would be the closest to stock you can get on a 15x7. where are you located?

    Forgive my newbishness...but why is a relocation of the rear shock necessary?

    No, there's plenty of room.

    Moves the top shock mounting point higher up so you can put a longer shock in there to increase travel.

    God damnit. I convinced myself out of doing long travel because I absolutely cannot lose the bed space a cage would take up. Now you're convincing me that something like that would be "good enough"

    Well I heard there's no room in your wheel wells, so you may be safe.

    Yeah total brain fart haha I'm 1st gen. I was just kinda drooling on my keyboard looking at that then was like "hey dumbass your shocks are kinda on the other side of the frame"

    In other bank-account draining news, check out what I found during my turbo research (still a long way down the road, just starting to explore my options right now)

    http://www.theturboforums.com/threads/338173-Toyota-4-cyl-7-21-192-mph!!!-Bullseye-Power-S480

    I've come across lots of their parts for the 2rz in my searching. I like how all the guys in the thread (I'm sure are all domestic fans) have a boner for the little 2.4

    lolz.

    I know that pain. Who gives a shit about a pic of the final result, how'd ya' fuckin' get there?!?!

    I had to learn the hard way on about 1 carb'd engine, totally forgot where all the springs went. Several hours spent on google images. Pics were of carbs...with springs removed, or put back together carbs/springs, but pics taken to far away to tell where itty bitty springs went.

    Haha...ebay my friend. I lucked up. I think it was Northridge Toyota blowing them out. You're very welcome on the pictures. I'm glad they helped. Why not American Motorsports spindle lift this time?
