    Hmmm, about 80% of all my front end squeeks went away too.. Those coils must have been at the end of their life span. :dunno:

    I've got a set of 13" 650# icon coils if anyone wants them. :anonymous:

    I take that back. Now that they're adjusted, still squeeks like a mofo.

    Did it level you out after the shackle flip? How's the ride now?

    The ride home from @usethe2nds house was nice. Front end dive is gone when using the brakes now. I left my spanner wrench at home, so I'm currently cranking them up a bit. I installed them with zero preload.

    My hands are killing me after one side, I should have set the preload with the coil compressors. :(

    Also like the quad! Wut is it? Oh, and the teensy purple jeep, but it needs a 6" lift.

    You guys almost went a full 24 hours without posting.

    Don't worry- I'll fix it.

    I put my front swaybar back on with extended end links and it's pretty sweet. I never felt my 4Runner handled poorly (likely due to street truck suspension :tinfoilhat:), but it's noticably nicer to drive now. I noticed it the second I turned out of my hood and started going over 20mph. Really EVERYTHING just feels... smoother.
