    If you're gonna add a front bumper, just give up and go to adjustable coilovers.

    ^^ Without wanting to muddle this thread, adding close to 200lbs (without including the sliders/front bumper I want) would require a better setup than Billy 5100's and stock springs, wouldn't it? Adjustable coilovers to keep 1.75" of lift better than 886 coils??

    I'm seriously debating this GB which is why I'm asking here. These would be the first purchases that lead into a lift.

    If you're adding later, adjustable C/Os from the big boys are the way to go. I have Icon C/Os with their off-the-shelf 650lb. rate spring - it's enough to support the skids and front bumper, but I wouldn't want to add a winch on as well.

    A few turns of the wrench, an alignment, and adding armor is a non-issue with adjustables. If you go with OME, Toytec, etc., you get what you get. Not that that's a problem, just that you lose some flexibility.

    ^^ +1 Nice, thank you! This has finally made me contact DSM about a lift/suspension.


    Kevin, what's the timeline for making/shipping these?

    Very interested in a gas tank skid but I want to figure out how much it's going to cost to get mounting hardware figured out (i drive a trd sport).

    Also curious about shipping to Calgary Alberta Postal code: T3K 1C5 vs The Montana Shipping Outlet (Sweetgrass 412 Oak Street, Box 369 Sweetgrass, MT 59484)

    Still curious about what exactly is necessary to make your transmission skid work with an All Pro IFS skid too.

    Kevin I hope you don’t mind I put a classified add on a local page here in Utah hoping to get some more local support.

    I’m currently leaning towards the Front, Trans and T-case skid. Hoping to save some $ on shipping if I can get some local support.

    Sweet and now I have Jason's phone number. Lol. For when I need to get ahold of him when all the skids come in of course. Lol

    Good thinking. KSL is awesome. I will have a vehicle for sale on there soon! That was just a hair off topic. Game on!

    Change your front diff and t-case fluid before installing skids. You won't want to do it again before you have to.

    If anyone is interested, I am the parts manger of Phil Meador Toyota-Subaru and I can get the TRD Off-Road straps for anyone that needs them to use the ATO gas tank skid. I am willing to get these in for the people taking advantage of this great deal for a great discount. If people are interested let me know and I will post up the prices. And Kevin, if you want, I will give you a super great deal if you wanted to get some of them to have on hand for your customers. Just let me know and I will work some numbers. The prices that I post will not be dependent on the number of orders I have though. I am will to just give a great deal to anyone that needs a set.
