    What do you have your front clickers set at (up from full soft “0”) for daily driving with that bumper. Your setup is about the same as mine so I’m curious

    I am on the fence of clicker or not to clicker. Leaning towards no clicker. I have survived with crappy Toytec suspension for too long.

    Did you hit up Headstrong for the inventory sale. I was not going to get them, but figured the sale was worth it

    I did, that’s why I was asking if Tacoma coilovers will fit 4runners. ADS said to go with the 4Runner ones. My shock guy said the only difference is the resi mount location and I will have to custom fab anyways for them to fit the KDSS system. So I don’t know which ones I am going to order currently.

    In talks with Headstrong over these shocks and getting close to pulling the trigger. Just wanted to get a few opinions first....

    2013 with ~150lbs of stuff up front. Nothing crazy heavy. And I'm looking for a solid 2 - 2.5" of lift. I'm also pretty certain I don't want 700 lb coils. What sort of lift numbers are other 2nd gens getting with 650 lb coils?? Do you have a lot of preload? Do they offer 14" coils?

    Clickers are a bit of a stretch for me unfortunately, but would you guys agree that if anything, clickers in the rear would be the most useful? My load back there can vary quite a bit.

    You are probably good with those 650lb coils. The 3rd gen Tacos are 300 lbs heavier in the front stock over the 2nd gen Tacos, so the 700lb coils are pretty much a must for the 3rd gen.

    Yep, talked with ads about the rears and they said to go with the 4Runner shocks which have 9.5” travel instead of 10” like the Tacoma’s. I will be getting a rear bumper in the future so not worried about the weight capacity at this time. Will most likely go with the 4Runner rears

    The Tacoma Rear shocks wouldn't work anyways. Completely different lower shock mount.

    From my understanding you can replace the lower bushing and it will workZ

    The Tacoma uses a smaller uniball joint, the 4 Runner has a larger bushing. You would have to cut the end off and weld the other style end on.

    These came with my front coil overs. I'm assuming the clamps are for the res but what's the black square for?

    Sway bar relocate. Pushes it forward with those new holes so it doesn’t hit your bigger badass coils

    Oh, okay. Thanks! I was hoping they were to mount the res on, lol I have no idea where to put them without a extra mount. I see some different locations but I don't know the best setup, i'll be running 33's and I don't want anything to rub.
