    Free would be exceptional... not sure if they see it the same way:pout: but there was talks of employee pricing. Guess that's better than a sharp stick in the eye.

    They told me they would have the joint's guts back from their supplier today and should be shipping out early next week for my order, maybe the same depending on what exactly was out of stock.

    Pulled the coilovers and put them in a spring compressor today. They made easy work of it. I took the driver side down 6 turns, and the passenger 6.5 turns. It sits exactly an inch lower, after a quick drive around the block to settle it a bit. Much better height for me. This weekend I'll drive it a little and see how they ride compared to the toytecs.

    I’ll look on Monday, but the only difference would be the wash we coat the honeycomb in. I’d choose the one with the smallest brick(honeycomb). I’ll look on Monday, but generally speaking, get the cheapest one

    I do, he is comparing the 2.0 Toytechs to the 2.5 Kings.

    the 2.5 Toytechs are made by Sway-Away and are more of a comparison.

    The 2.0 toytec you’re referring to is just a 5100

    Right? I’m pissed I let my set go on my Tundra but they were too big for my DD non geared 99. I had 27k and still at 13-14/32 (New is 18/32). Plan on getting some as my next tire when discount does their $100 off deal.

    I would have been fairly screwed with something other than them. 2WD F150 with a limited slip rear. Was trying to turn around and the back end slid into a small ditch and some how climbed out.

    I’m not entirely sure what exactly you’re referring to, but you tighten the joints yourself, and then they have a set screw too. They’re fucking tight when i install them on my truck. Tight enough that I can feel them when steering because they’re my front uppers.

    I have rod ends because more misalignment but the tightening mechanism is the same. They’re super fine thread.

    Been thinking about these and St maxxs. Hard to justify cost when I can get 5 of these for the price of 4 st maxxs. Just wish these looked a little more aggressive
