    Looks great Brian @DMCtacoma ! Looks like you could have gone up a little further, or did you start lifting the rear?

    The suspension had more to go but only being 2wd, the rear limited slip didn't want me to go anymore.

    That's awesome! 63's are the way to go if doing a shock relocation! Otherwise it's a whole bunch of work to only gain another 1" out of OE dimension packs.

    ^Do the spring packs rotate on that? That's good idea for tandem axles.

    Still breaking my Orbit Eyes in, but slowly getting more flex out of the rear end.

    Yeah, there's a 3rd "axle" that the inverted leaves mount to which mounts to the frame (you can barely see it between the tires in the pic). I don't know if it's actually an axle, or just a pin for them to sit on, but either way, it allows the rear to really move but stay rock solid for heavy weights (the spring pack is like 11" tall, it's nuts... Might as well be a 12" I-beam)

    Usually when you start to spin one of the rear tires it is coming off the ground. Since you were on pavement and had good traction that was probably it for your rear end. It's hard to get IFS to full stuff driving up on stuff. You need to back up the ramps to put the full weight of the vehicle on the IFS to get it to stuff.
