    I’m at 22.5”. I may go with a 6” and full coil overs. My problem is that my FJ with a 4” and 35’s makes my rig look tiny!

    How was the install for the rear shocks? I tried installing my rear shocks today and for weird reason, my lower rear shock bushings are 1/4” wider than the shock mounts on my truck........

    The ride and braking is a lot more controlled. i have a few crappy roads in my area that i made a point to drive over yesterday. Turns are a little tighter - it is probably just me.

    i have them under the wheel wells. The front i utilized one of the existing pre-drilled holes. In the rear, i wnet through the plastic cover. i cut out a small piece of sheet metal and i placed it on the other side of the plastic and drilled through.

    Uhhhhhh.... just kidding.

    I believe it is called the "drop" where they utilize the new spindle and keep the same travel, etc. (i.e., ProComp, BDS, Rough Country, etc.)

    I run 285/75/16 with zero issues. I am thinking I should have gone with a 305...

    Someone mentioned that if you go from 650lb coils to 700lb it raises the truck more?

    Want to verify this, thx.

    That your problem of course 35” tires are going give it more aggressive look.. Plus you have more add-ons on FJ.Also the dimensions on the taco is more sleek So it’s going to be an optical illusion forEvver!

    I am getting ready to pull the trigger on the OME BP51 w SPC UCA (or the JBA because I think the red looks cool... I SAID IT!) set up or the Icon Stage 8 with Billet UCA's... (yes overkill but still looks cool) Bummed because all of the local shops here say the Kings are difficult to service locally...
