    do tell.

    Never in my life have I heard that. In fact, everything I've read on shocks is that actually SAWs are consistently the highest travel shocks out there for their size. Some engineers at other companies would say they are over extending the capacity of the the shock body capacity to cool properly.

    That was me. Wasn't that he was promoted he took some time off and was to busy to do it by himself. The guy that took over wasn't checking it often enough. I was told that from Gary in person. He is the parts department manager. Try calling him.

    881s to 883s will all require the same amount of trimming. They only set ride height and do nothing for limiting up travel

    I have an A340E though. That’s a 4x4 truck. I don’t think I want to take the trouble to swap the output shaft

    All she knows is price and it deals with suspension. So unless it says XLT on the parts somewhere she'll be clueless

    okay..but seriously that kit is worthless unless you do custom mounts for 10'' coil overs. Otherwise, it'll pull only 14'' like every other kit out there with a stock mounted shock(8'').

    On top of that. It being very wide, if you're only doing desert runs, no issues. If you want to go up and do trails in the hills and crawling..you've got major problems.

    Be real. You have no use for that kit anyways.

    I finally made the decision to strip the paint off my wheels that were painted by the previous owner. What a fuckin pain in the ass. This is the 3rd coat of stripper:bananadead::bananadead:20180614_154704.jpg

    How can I test the fuel system for leaks while I have the S/C off? When I cycle the key is that all the fuel pressure I will get?
    I need to tell the injectors to fire to confirm that the injector O-rings are intact, correct?

    This is on a 1999 5VZfe in a 4Runner.
