    If they're taken back to the same height as when it was aligned then no.

    That's what I had expected but mine still have not settled at all after 3 1/2 weeks and about 800 miles (not even an 1/8 of an inch!). Not that I am complaining because they still ride fantastic. :D I guess time will tell... and as long as I don't have a bro lean i'm okay with it. :rofl:

    Push the center sleeve out with a socket and a vice. Then pry the rubber grommet out and put the Tacoma grommet in there then lube up the other metal sleeve in there and press it in.

    Alright gents I have a question, I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a new suspension for my truck, 2017 TRD OR 4x4, and I think I have everything I’m gonna need for it lined up but I want to make sure that once I start ordering parts, I order everything I fully need.
    This is what I plan on ordering, FOX level 2 Kit. Here is a couple pictures of what I plan on ordering, if you think I’ll need anything else other than ECGS Bushing please let me know.

    -Fox 3 inch lift -SOS Streamline front bumper with Smittybilt x20 winch -Mobtown sliders -Mobtown IFS & Trans skids -DV8 Rear bumper - Look at the build thread
    Looks like most of what you would need, you may want to make sure that it comes with longer U bolts to account for the 3 leaf AAL. This is basically the same setup I have and I'm happy.
    This was all that I used, and I didn't really need new bump stops.
    - Fox 2.5 extended length coilovers
    - Fox 2.0 rear shocks with reservoirs
    - 3 leaf add a leaf
    - U-bolt flip kit w/ SuperBumps
    - Front SuperBumps
    - SPC Light Racing upper control arms

    If you have ANY extra weight, those coil springs will NOT be strong enough. I got the same front/rear set & the ONLY time I was able to lift the truck the advertised height (3" for 2nd gen), using Fox's maximum recommendations, was when I took off my front bumper! Those come w/13" 600lb. spring, which they're the ONLY ones using a spring that short w/that weight. There's a reason why they're the only ones, because it's too short/weak.
    I've added some weight so now I'm having to get 14" 650lb springs & have them installed on the C/O's. This is adding a significant cost to my set-up. I inquired w/HS about this set-up working even after adding weight & she said it'd be fine. Well, that's 100% BS! It was only fine absolutely bone stock, & it was pushing it even then. Don't get suckered into the same sham I did & order them elsewhere where they'll swap the springs for longer & stronger ones from the start. HS said they will but she told me it adds $300 to the initial price. I've read where others have been able to order them w/strong springs w/no upcharge. I tried to return mine to HS & was told once they're installed, they can't be returned. Other than getting a product that doesn't work as advertised, HS was great to deal with!

    Thank you for your input, while I don’t have any extra weight on it right now, I would like to add an aftermarket front bumper and maybe some sliders.

    If you want to get the full 2" lift (3rd gen) from the extended travel set, you better get different springs from the start. It's much easier & cheaper that way!

    Thanks, yeah I’m definitely interested in full 2” from the beginning anyways, I’ll start looking into that. I appreciate the input.

    I ended up buying getting
    Front: Fox 2.5 Extended/Resi/DSC
    Total Choas UCA

    Rear: Fox 2.5 Resi/DSC
    Readylift 1 inch leaf block

    I was told by Neil from Down South Motorsports if I wanted to run the 2.5’s in the rear at most I should raise an inch. If I wanted a higher lift to run the 2.0’s with adjustables. But I wanted to have the matching set all around so ended up going 2.5’s all around with the 1 inch lift by readylift. Night and day difference over stock pro fox shocks, especially the adjustability of going firm or soft. Definitely worth the extra money.

    I can feel a bit of sway but I have the stiffest settings so it feels like stock. I’m going to test it out on the trails this weekend.
