    ToyTec said 5100s no worky worky, but the BOSS shocks would.

    Said they're roughly 16" collapsed and 25" extended.

    @LTDSC on the topic, would you rather run my front end set up or just extended travel 2.5" King RR Coilovers? So going from dual to single. I've been thinking of switching up the front and possibly making enough off selling my whole set up to get a small profit if I switch to kings.

    Thanks. That is what I wanted to hear.

    Think I could sell this set up and cover the cost?

    Also worth noting I'm not buying Kings fo sho.

    Runner is my daily, have a line on some cheap Ultimate coilovers with new shocks so need a rear setup. Hoping to keep the coilovers at 2-2.25", 2.5" max, so figured a 2.5ish rear coil.

    I also have a line on 5100s, so that's why they were on the table at all. Not in a hurry to throw the lift on, so I've got time to research and shop. Just looking for a lift that's functional and if it let's me have an expanding option down the road (like the LT coils) then fuck yeah. Maybe I'll hit the lottery.

    Looking for a good ride, some more weight carrying, and it might as well perform better offroad also. Not doing Moab, ever, so trying to get a good basic upgrade.

    Just figured it will be hard to sell a set up with 40k miles on it. Especially those shocks that are ridiculously expensive to rebuild if you don't do it on your own.

    Just wait until you get the one dude who's like "my stock suspension is $1500 brand new from Toyota, so I'm thinking we trade your 40k mile shocks straight across plus you give me $100."

    I'm getting such a good deal on the Ultimate coilovers that it really prohibits the thought of buying anything different for the front.

    I think the full S2 system I have is like 3.5k new.

    Will have to think on a fair used price and make the swap.
