    I agree. I definitely want black. I must be an odd ball because most pyrite mica owners seem to like the bronze. What's the part # for the ones you bought?

    Apologies @Rob Daman, unintentional thread jack. I will be installing my TRD PRO kit in a week and a half and will probably have your vids memorized by then. :cheers:

    Great job!

    Sounds like you went solo on it.

    Wait till you go over dips at 40mph like they're nothing...or you may have already. LOL

    I spent about 9 hours so you beat me and I was sore big time too. lol

    post up pics of your new tires tomorrow.

    Also be sure they just don't adjust toe only. Try to get caster close to 2 if possible and camber closest to 0

    Thanks for the advice but why adjust the caster to 2 what would that do? Or does that have anything to do with tire rubbing?:confused:

    It helps with tire clearance but more important it helps with the steering to be less squirrelly. I noticed the difference when caster was changed.

    Did a bit of off-roading today drove her on some rough dirt roads & gotta say that these shocks soak up the bumps pretty well in high speed but the single leaf AALs are a little harsh but not too bad.:thumbsup:
