    I've stopped by their shop in Loomis. He said $30 a shock if you take them off yourself. I know I need mine tuned so hopefully once I get my winch and shell i can get it better than it is now

    He seems like a solid dude. I stopped by cause of an alignment issue the alignment shop sent me to him for and he didn't charge me but 30 bucks for an hour and a half cause he couldn't find anything wrong. Turns out the alignment shop guy didn't know what toe was or something. Took it to another alignment shop and no more problem.

    They have a sick ultra4 rig there. 6.1L gasser, said he's gonna throw in a turbo in the next year or so. The body and cage is all custom and tig welded, 16" front and 18" rear i think with bypasses and sas. It's sick

    Hi guys. Was wondering if anyone has a spring compressor I can borrow? Need to adjust my CO's for the pending bumper install this weekend.

    I may have tweaked a few things...
    Most auto parts stores have loaner tools, including spring compressors. I know that O’Reilly has a solid set but not sure about others.

    I could actually take 3 for my swingout if it’s not too much to ask. That way my wheel spacers can have theirs back and I can sell them :thumbsup:

    You have ADS coilovers, correct? Believe preload can be adjusted on the truck. Perhaps @tyfoon11 can confirm.

    Hey guys I’m out of hidden valley lake. I know I don’t have a Tacoma but I’m new to the area and looking for more people to wheel with!

    Come to find out that those are adjustable installed on the truck, no spring compressor needed. Floor jack and the tool ADS sells (or the correct size punch) and have at it.
