    What are your measurements with the 861's. I have a set sitting here but I'm afraid it'll make me too high in the back.

    Pretty sure mine are touching too at normal parked height.

    Looks good, how much do these run? I'd be interested in them for a 3rd gen.

    im not sure what the issue was with mine, probably the quick stuff. First time was rust on the shaft, i fully compressed them when hucking and it ripped the seal. Totally understandable. Replaced the shaft completely, rebuilt both of them and one blew the trip i just had in pismo. Most likely a fluke thing. He said it lost maybe two tablespoons worth of fluid, not even a lot.

    My rear i have 2.0 fox's w/ resi. Im sure its 99% valving but now i want to match the fronts anyway.

    Your setup though...

    Just not as much on road comfort as I had hopped. I will say they have great control and range offroad

    Are any of you guys running a 3" suspension lift and like a 1" body lift as well? Thinking about running 35s and a body lift might help with clearance and less cutting.
