    I was told if you fill KM2s with stale farts you can get 200k miles out of them. He was probably saving money.

    Can anyone give me some info on the toytec adjustable coilover set at 3"? I have 3" blocks in my rear right now and 3" spacers in the front. I want a smoother ride. In time I'll get new leafs in the back.

    There are seen to just be glorified 5100 so you are way over paying for what they are worth.

    Getting some 5100 or OME nitrocharge shocks with the correctly match OME springs would be a better option. Then get some dakars for the rear.

    Or even better save up for an actually coilover, ads, king, fox, icon

    Rear stuff only...aal and shocks. Going to contact seller to see what they say probably end up just returning this stuff. Was with a try even if it doesn't end up working

    Found the cause of my low oil pressure and dull knocking sound.

    Finally lubed all the points on my driveshaft, shackles, and main eye bolts. Now I need to decide whether my clunking is the diff or the driveshaft :/

    Balance shafts? Yay, in the cold start knock thread for the 2.7L I suggested that to some people and no one believed me that it could cause this. Sorry it happened to you though, hopefully your low oil pressure didn't ruin anything else.

    Yuuup, pass side looks mostly okay. I'm guessing that rear bearing is the absolute last thing to get oil in the engine. I'm hoping I can just slap in the LCE delete kit and keep on trucking.

    The low oil pressure had melted my bearings too cause I was getting like 20PSI at 3k RPM. Replaced my mains/rods with the crank in the block to hopefully get me some more life. The question is how much crap is now in my oil system that will continue to wreak havoc?

    I sent them an email. I haven't got my coil overs. They were going to check with the shipping department then get back with me.

    I contacted them. They were going to check with the shipping department. They acted like it was their fault that they didn't get sent.

    That's sounds promising. Did you contact them through Amazon?

    After I ordered I got an email directly from the customer service people saying thanks for buying. I replied to that email, I haven't even confirmed that I'm not getting em yet because they aren't here but may as well get ahead of the game lol. Judging by the fact that neither of you got yours
