    I did the same thing Kings up front then Icons in the rear (2.0s with resi's)...King rears were way more $$ plus you have to special order the kind of King rears that can accommodate more than 1" of rear lift, most websites only sell the ones that are for 0 - 1". The Icons work with up to 3" of rear lift.

    I've been really happy with the setup

    Is this because the length of the shock or just for 'optimal' performance recommended by the manufacturer

    0-3" seems like a big window to be just the length of the shock

    I hope everything works out for you. We have only went to the near by river beds nothing to crazy though. One of his brother-in-laws gave him a 4x4 Nissan hardbody but I think the engine is done. The brother-in-law went into the water in the river bed.

    I pulled the liners recently to give them a nice new coat of black. Its so OPEN without them. Remove the liners and open the door, all you would see is tire.

    I like how the camry has the insulation layer then the liner

    That's a shame. I always liked the Nissan Hardbody. Perfect excuse to go SAS and OM617

    I've been running without fender liners since I installed the snorkel, it sucks...I need to put them back in but I need a new one for the driver's side.

    SOOO much mud and shit gets thrown into the door jamb without those fender liners

    factory side step, didn't get a chance to do anything to it yet, haven't even got to put it in 4 wheel mode yet. Lame, but I work a lot.
    All I’ve done for mine is get it ready for the next owner. Did the 15k maintenance, then strait to the detail shop, then pictures, just getting ready to make an ad. 15,000 miles on her. Pics in my profile. Somebody is going to get a killer truck.

    yeah I wouldn't if you can help it lol. I never put the one back in after the snorkel install and lost it since, the other I had to take off when I replaced my drivers side fender and just left it off but I'm going to reinstall them. Use a heat gun to warp them into a different shape if your tire is rubbing them

    No it doesn't get into the cab, the door when closed is still sealed off. But it gets right up to that point.
